tatiye men of the state of Iowa, United

Wakeful?
S1eep1essnesS Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou-
BILE and Should
Be Looked To.

There are three different manifesto
tions of sieeplessness.
First, hardly to sleep a wink all night,
second, to lie awake a long time before
falling asleep; third to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours and then
find it hard to sleep again.
They mean that somewhere in the
nerve fibres, somewhere in the brain
cells, somewhere in the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
is radically wrong, and must be righted.
or the end may be worse than death.
To right it, take DR.. Miles Nervine.
Some other symptoms of nerve trou-
BILE are: Dizziness, Headache, Back
ache, Worry, Fretfulness, Irritability,
Melancholy, Lack Of Ambition.
They Indicate diseases which may lead
to Epilepsy, Fits, St Vitus' Dance,

Nothing will give such quick and last
ing relief as DR.. Miles Nervine.
