Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy maay
people before their time. Often be-
fore a sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge Of a
complete nervous breakdowm. Il
IS OF the utmost importance b keep
your nervous system in good con-
dition, as the nerves are the source
OF an bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, III Mechanic ST., Puebeo,
Colo, says:
For many years suffered from
nervous prostration; Awas unable
to do any house work and doctors
failed 10 help me. Remedies l
tried from druggists did not do
me particle Of good. A neighboF
told my husband about
Dr.. Miles Nervine
and he procured a bottle. After the
first few doses / showed a marked
improvement and after taking two
bottles was entirely cured. | have
been perfectly we'll for years and
cannot praise DR.. Miles Nervine
too highly"
If you are troubled with loss Of
appetite, poor digestion, weakness,
inability to sleep; if you are in a
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 reahze what is the mat
ter with you, bat that is no reason
why you shoald 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.

Dr. Simms promulgated his deca-

has not helped to mollify the wives.
Here is the decalogue, somewhat con-
densed
First-Thou shalt have no other
man but thy husband, and when an
other would make love to thee remem-
Der that he is a fool or a knave.
Second-Thou shalt not forget that
the same winsome ways that made
thy husband prefer thee to all other
women are necessary to hold him.
