what a good nights rest was I would
retire, worn out. my home cares were
very heavy and had no one to help mo
shoulder the burden. This thought near
ly drove me frantic and my health was
breaking down, but at this writing I
found Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic and
now feel that I am myself again. That
oppressive feeling on my brain disap-
peared like magic after the first dose OF
the Tonic and refreshing sleep returned
and also my health, for which hope that
God will spare the Tonic long to relieve
suffering humanity.

Mr.. F. Heitz, Of Reamstown, Pa, says
that Pastor Koenig's Nerve Tonic helped
him great deal from sleeplessness which
