"For more than a year I
had been a sufferer, completely
broken down. ! had not slept
but two or three hours any
night for weeks. had such
awful misery in my head, and
oh, l was so irritable. l could
not depend upon my judge
ment, and my memory was
failing. | realized that I was
losing my mind, and l thought
the grave, or worse, the aSy-
lum, would be my doom. My
doctor said my case was be-
yond the reach of medicine. I
went to a druggist and told
him my condition. He recon-
mended DR.. Miles Nervine;
he was pretty sure it would
help me, so | bought a bottle.
That night l took a table
spoonful, and fell asleep in a
few minutes, the first rest l
had in weeks, and oh, will

taking it, and sleep like a baby,

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Week Marks Close of Most Successful
Fiscal Year in Nations History,
SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM IS GENERAL
Factories Book Large Orders and
Labor Troubles Are Fewer
Big Increase in Railway
Earnings.
SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM is GENERA

NEW YORK, June 29.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
Today closes the most successful fiscal
year IN the nations history thns far and
optimism is so general throughout the
commercial world that the next twelve
month period promises to carry the high
water mark still higher. With few excep-
tions the crops are making good progress
ness on the books of manufacturing con-
Germs and greater enterprises and under
takings in contempla ton than on any pre-
vious July 1. Scarcely any labor struggles
Of importance exist and there is no in
iation of securities through speculative
operations with borrowed money. These
are some of the reasons for some con-
idence in the future. The trade report for
the week indicates a seasonch!e disposition
10 curtail wholesale business, but even this
summer influence is less disquieting than
usual. More new scales have been signed
by which wages will be Increased and the
pending dispute at textile mills promises
amicable settlement Railway earnings in
three weeks of June were 1913 per cent
larger than in 1905, and disbursements
for interest and dividends at this center
next month are estimated a $3.50, 700 900,
which is about SD,O00O0O larger than year
ago One of the adverse reports of the
week is the delay TO rebuilding San Fran
cisco by the high price of labor and the
hardness Of some insurance settlements.
week shows gains of SO. al in imports
and N,24s,l 45 in exports as compared with
Primary markets for textile fabrics are
stili held back by uncertainty regarding the
sta bllity of prices in the cotton goods d.
vision.
Another cause Of indifference among buy
ers Is the semi-annual inventory which will
be taken before provision is made for July
trade Exports TO South American and
other miscellaneous shipments only par

from China, which is the least satisfactory
feature.

by warmer weather and June clearance
sales Is active but wholesale and jobbing
display the usual seasonal dullness which,
however, is not so marked as preceding
years; moreover fall orders in very MANY
lines are heavy, being in excess OF the
corresponding period year ago, and the
outlook favors burst OF buying after the
passing of the July holidays. Industry ~
active, the iron and steel lines particu-
larly so, but many plants will be forced
to close for repairs the coming week; yet
the shut downs will be shorter than usual.
Railway earnings are heavy, The labor
situation continues to improve. Building
maintains remarkably active pace.
