 TWENTY YEARS AGO

 The willow Is renowned for it's cura- tive properties and ancient legendary lore is filled with its use, by barbarians and civilized men. As early as 300 B. c. the ancient Chaldeans were sagely curing disease by charcoal and every monastery of the old world healed the sick and cured the drunkard by using powdered willow charcoal

Epilepsy, Fits 

My son was cured of a very bad case of epilepsy with Dr. Miles Nervine."
 MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, O.
 My little daughter who was afflicted with St. Vitus' Dance is now entirely we'll after taking Dr. Miles Nervine only four months"
 MRS. C. G. BENNETT,
 Alma, Mich.
 Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus' Dance and Spasms, are all nerv- ous diseases. They have been cured in so many instances with Dr. Miles Nervine that 1t is reasonable to conclude that 1t is almost sure to cure you. With nervous diseases of severe type, persistent use has almost invariably resulted in a complete cure or lasting benefits, worth many times the cost of the rem edy. The best evidence you can get of its merits is to write to those who have used it. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and  if it does not benefit he will re- turn your money.
