beg your pardon; if you ran into me,

Keep
Your Nerve

1t is nerve energy that runs
the organs of your body. The
storage battery is the nerve
cells in the brain and spinal
cord, and from this battery
nerve force is sent out through
the system of nerves. To keep
the body healthy you must
have plenty of nerve force; if
you have not, the organs work
imperfectly, the circulation is
sluggish, digestion bad, appe.
tite poor, kidneys inactive, and
aches, pains and misery are
the penalty.
You can keep the system
strong with DR.. Miles Nervine.
1t assists in generating nerve
energy; it strengthens the
nerves and makes the whole
system strong and vigorous.
81 take pleasure in recommending
DR.. Miles Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostration, insomnia
and melancholy. After several
months suffering from above diseases
I tried this medicine and found imme-
date relief 1t soothes and strength
ems the nerves, chases away the
gloomy and depressing thoughts and
gives the sufferer renewed strength
and hope. It is superb nerve re-
storer."
