The Knockout Blow.

The blow which knocked out Corbett
was a revelation to the prize fighters.
From the earliest days of the ring the
Knockout blow was aimed for the jaw,
the temple or the jugular vein. Stomach
punches were thrown in to worry and
weary the fighter, but if scientific man
had told one of the old fighters that the
most vulnerable spot was the region Of
the stomach, he'd have laughed at him
for an ignoramus. DR.. Pierce is bringing
hope to the public parallel fact; that

Epilepsy,

"My son was cured of a very
bad case of epilepsy with DR..
Miles Nervine.'
MRS. D. BAKER, Cleveland, 0.
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-
Gus diseases. They have been
cured in so many instances with
DR.. Miles Nervine that it is
reasonable to conclude that it is
almost sure to cure you. With
nervous diseases of a 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.
