HE DID NOT EXPECT Such a Pleasant Surprise

Mir. A. s. Eaton of Hillsboro, O., says: T have used Paracamph for Rheumatism in the joints of my hands with good results-getting more relief than from any other remedy.

Rheumatism

Like Neuralgia, is now known to be a nervous disease. The kidneys become weak through lack of nerve energy, and fail to filter the uric acid from the blood; this acid attacks and burns the nerves and muscles, and consumes the oil in the joints, producing inflammation, fever, swelling-pain.
 To cure Rheumatism, then, you must restore the kidney nerves and muscles, and neu- tralize the effect of the acid upon the joints and tissues with Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine, a nerve medicine, which has made many cures of this painful disease. Nervine strengthens the kidney nerves and increases the circulation, and relief is assured.
 Before I took Dr. Miles Nervine, I had been looking for a cure for Rheumatism for 25 years. The last could not get out of bed or set foot on the floor. tried remedies to rub in, to drink, doctors prescriptions, etc.. but none of them had any effect. One day I read about Dr. Miles Nervine and got a bottle. After the first dose had a good nights rest, and after taking half a bottle the pains disappeared. and I went out and walked all around the town. In a week I went to work, and was perfectly cured, but continued to. take the medicine for time, to make sure the pains would not come back"

time touring in Southern France and
Italy. Calve has learned to run the
car herself. Her chief pleasure once
was found in driving horses SO 1t is
natural that she should not be content
