Nervous
Collapse

Il have travelled for thirty
years continually. I lost great
deal OF sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such nervous state that finally,
after having two collapses of
nervous prOstration, l was
obliged to give up travelling al
together. / doctored continually
but with no relief. DR.. Miles
Nervine came to my rescue-I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous few doses relieve me-"
A. G. c. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The
brain, the kidneys, the liver, the
nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to do
build up the nervous system by
the use of DIR. Miles Restora-
tive Nervine. It's strength
ening influence upon the nerv-
Gus system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.

Isn't short, smooth road better than
roundabout, rocky one?
Isnt that the road you would take by
preference?
Well, the shorter, easier, smoother road
in washing clothes is the Fels-Naptha way.
No rocks in your path; no boiling, hot
fires, Steaming suds, or hard rubbing.
Fels-Naptha banishes the disagrccabIe
part OF washing, takes out the backache,
cuts the time to half, and makes the clothes
cleaner and whittier than it is possible by
the old-I2shioncd way.
Follow the simple directions on the
