Nervous
Collapse

II have travelled for thirty
years continually. I lost a 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. 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 I am particularly
nervous few doses relieve me-"

There are many nervous
wrecks. There is nervous pros
tration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The.

There is but one thing to do
build up the nervous system by
the use of DR.. Miles Restora-

and our prize list is four times larger
than any other contest that has ever
been conducted here. We want ev-
eryone to have an even chance and
for that reason have offered what is
really two contests in one for we
will give one of the autos to the con-
testant living in the country who
polls the highest vote regardless of
the standing Of any Of the city con-
testants who may have many more
votes. We will give the other auto
to the lady living in the tri-cities who
receives the highest number of votes.
We want every girl and lady in all
this region to feel that this is her
contest and that she has just as good
a chance to win this car as anyone
else for we will not play favorites"
and every thing we do will be for
the benefit of all alike.
Be sure to place your favorite in
the race at once. Don't wait for
someone else to do it. They might
be waiting for you to send in the
name and after all the lady you
would like to see win might not be
nominated. II won't harm any lady's
chances if she is nominated by sew
eral people. Remember this race has
only just begun and there is time
enough for all TO poll their strongest
vote before the contest ends. Send
