Woman Finally Receivers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost Importance TO keep
yocr nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
of ali bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2II Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
"For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; l was unable
to do any house work and doctors
tried from druggists did not do
me a particle of good. A neighbor
told my husband about
DR.. Miles Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses I showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles I was entirely cured. l have
been perfectly well for years and
cannot praise DR. Miles Nervine
too highly"
IF you are troubled with loss of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
general run down condition and
unable to bear your part of the
daily grind of life, you need some
thing to strengthen your nerves.
You may not realize what is the mat
ter with you, bat that is no reason
why you should delay treatment.
DR.. Miles Nervine
has proven its value in nervous dis
orders for thirty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
Sold by all druggists. II first bottle
