Weak Stomach.

A weak stomach is most ire quently caused by the over worked and exhausted nervous system.
 The power that runs the stomach is the nerve force sent to it from the brain through the nerves. When the nerves are weak or exhausted the sup ply of energy is insufficient and the action of the stomach is impaired, and results in im- perfect digestion-dyspepsia.
 Dr. Miles Restorative Nerv- inc increases nerve force. It strengthens and builds up nerve tissue, gives vigor to the nerves and muscles of the stomach; this produces healthy activity.
 Nervine allays the inflamma- tion, heals the membranes, and makes the stomach strong and healthy. There is nothing that so quickly gives energy to the whole system as Restorative Nervine.
 q can't say enough for Dr. Niles Nervine. l don't know what II VIII do for others, but 1t certainly cured me of stomach trouble. and now l am as well as l ever was Two physicians failed to relieve me but in three or four days after taking Nervine I was much relieved Four bottles made me a sound man, at the cost of s4oo
