Nervous Collapse

q have travelled for thirty years continually. 1 lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, 1 was obliged to give up travelling al- together. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles Nervine came to my rescue-I cannot describe the suffering which this Nervine saved me. Whenever am particularly nervous a few doses relieve me-" A. c. 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 Dr. Miles Restora- tive Nervine. Its strength ening influence upon the nerv- ous 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.
