An we can do Is eIvO advice.


 Of course that's easy. .- .-
 But our advice is really worth e. little more to you than most peoples. for we offer to give you the first bottle of our medicine free. if 1t fails to help you.
 We could not afford to do this unless our medicine was good. Such an offer, on the wrong kind of medicine. would put a merchant prince in the poor house.
 Dr. Miles Nervine. however. as years of experience have proved, is a medi- cine that cures the sick.
 Those whom 1t cannot benefit-less than one fin ten tfousand-we prefer to refund their money. e,t

If you suffer from sleeplessness, nervous exhaustion. dizziness. headache. mus cular twitchings. melancholy, loss of memory, weak stomach, poor blood, bilious troubles. epilepsy.

This city is in the midst of one of the most interesting religious revivals ever held here.
 The meetings are under the auspices of the First Christian Church, with Rev. J. c. Caldwell as pastor and leader. The evangelists are Rev w. T. Brooks of Indiana, and Rev. s. P. Spiegel. State evangelist of Alabama. MT. Brooks is well known throughout the Mississippi Valley as one of the most successful evangelists of the Christian Church and his preaching is drawing large audiences. Mir. Spiegel is having charge of chorus Of fifty voices and the music is a popu- lar feature of the meetings.
 The church building would not accom- modate one-f1fth of the audiences. So the place of meeting is in a big hall in the down town district. One remarkable fea- ture has been that not single evening has passed since the first day without from one to eight additions to the church.
 The revival will close next Sunday night
