Nervous
Collapse

81 have travelled for thirty
years continually. | 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, ] was
obliged to give up travelling al
together. I doctored continually
but with no relief. DIR. Miles
Nervine came to my rescue-l
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a 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 Or. Miles Restora-
tive Nervine. Its 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 lie will return
your money.

from Chicago the day before. He had
flower in his buttonhole; red rose,
indeed, showing his colors for the final
triumphant day.

the litter of the night before, was
clean and cool, and the morning air
of perfect day came in refreshingly
at the open doors. The farmer men,

still slumbered, tired out by their la

A Handy Library.

Many of the new books come out in
serial form in the magazines and pa.
pers. Cut out the installments as they
appear and glue them together-book
fashion, IL from magazine, or in one
long strip If taken from a newspaper.
Take long, stout envelope, paste the
name of the story on the back, fold the
sheets or strips of clippings and place
in the envelope. This Is book which
takes only small space on the
shelves, and the name is easily seen
from the outside. These envelope
books are invaluable for sick people,

be impossible to hold heavy book.
