Sleep

Sleep is natures re-
building period, when the
energy used by the brain,
muscles and organs is re-
newed. If you lose sleep,
your system is robbed of
the strength sleep should
give. Continued loss of
sleep multiplies this loss
until you become a phys
ical wreck. DR.. Miles
Nervine quiets the irri-
tated nerves and brings
refreshing, invigorating
sleep. Nervine contains
no opiates, and therefor
leaves no bad fter-effects.

A CRITERION.

a physician at "A recent meeting OF
the College Of Physicians in Phila-
delphia told a story illustrating the
witty comprehension of patient of
Irish nativity. The physician declar-
ed that one of his patients, an Irish
man, could not understand why, if
one Of his arms refused to perform
its usual functions, the other should
remain normal.
1T Is the balancing power of ma
ture,' explained the physician. IF a
man is blind in one eye, nature gem
orally provides additional strength for
the remaining eye. When deafness is
discovered in one ear, the hearing of
the other ear becomes unusually
acute"
Now thot you mention it, Oi behave
tits So" said the patient. "Whin "a
mon has wan short leg. tn other leg
is generally longer."-Judge.
