Rheumatic
Pains

my mother is great suf-
ferer from rheumatism, and DIR.
Miles Anti-Pain Pills is the only
remedy that relieves her."
MRS. G.. DAVENPORT,
Royce6eld, N. J.
The pains of rheumatism are
almost invariably relieved with
DIR. Miles Anti-Pain Pills. They
also overcome that nervous irri-
tation which prevents sleep be-
cause they soothe the nerves. To
chronic suffers they are invalu-
able. When taken as directed,
they relieve the distress and
save the weakening influence of
pain, which SO frequently pros
trates. Many sufferers use them
whenever occasion requires with
the greatest satisfaction, why
not you? They do not derange
the stomach nor create a habit.
Why not try them? Get a pack
age from your druggist. Take it
according to directions, and if
it does not benefit he will return
your money.
