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.
II take pleasure in recommending
DR.. Miles Nervine to those suffering
from nervous prostration, insomnia
and melancholy After several
months suffering from above diseases
/ 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. 1t is superb nerve re-
storer."

Heart Trouble

The heart itself has no power-n no self-control.
It is made to beat by o tender nerve so tiny
that it is scarcely visible o the naked eye. Yet
ten thousand times a day this delicate nerve
must assist the heart to expand and contract
This nerve is only one OF the branches OF tho
great sympathetic, or INSIDE. nerve system.
Each branch of this system is so closely aEied
with the others that weakness or lrregulailty ct
any point is apt to spread. Heart trouble ire
auently arises from Stomach trouble through
sympathy and Kidney trouble may also follow.
For each OF these organs is operated bya branch
of these same sympathetic nerves-the INSIDE
NERVES
In Heart. Kidney or Stomach troubles it is OF
but little use to attempt to doctor the organ it
self-the most permanent relief lies in restoring
the INSIDE NERVES DR.. Shoop regards these
nerves to be the real cause OF such troubles
The remedy-known by physicians and druggists
everywhere as DR.. Sbocp's Restorative eIaDlets
or Liuuid)-is the result of years OF endeavor
along this very line 1t does not dose the organ
to deaden the pain-but it aims to go at once to
the nerye-the inside nerve-the power nerve

it well.

The following is a portion of the
address delivered by Gov. Mead
before the Washington State Press
Association at the recent meeting
in Tacoma:
This is essentially non parti-

less it is gathering Of representa-
tives from the various parts Of the

in the enactment of wise and whole

the leaders in formulating that
opinion; and in an endeavor to

that so far as | am concerned | will
earnestly work for the enactment
Of d primary election law Oh any
other election law that will clearly
register the voice Of the people
upon any subject Or upon the Sc
lection of candidates for office in
the administration of affairs in
municipalities, counties and the
councils of the state. This is the
peoples government. We should
have and are entitled to the best
method of determining the views
of the people on public questions

Equally should we have the best
method Of Incorporating into the
