After Eight Years o. Helpless Suffer
Ing Wheeler's Merge VItaIixer ?
Brings Complete Recovery.

Mrs. Ada Shertum Of Holsteln, Mich
suffered through eight years with ex-
IRENE nervous prostration.
Then, she says, Il became discouraged
and gave up in despair and no one knows
what that means except those who have
suffered as l did.
But to my utter establishment I soon
began to improve after taking half a
bottle of Wheeler's Nerve Vitalixer. I
began to sleep soundly, gained In
strength and a few bottles cured me"
Don't make the mistake of using slim
uating drugs for nervousness or lack Of
sleep. They simply whip the nerves
reaction and greater weakness follow.
The effect OF Wheeler's Nerve Vitalixer
is entirely different. 1t quiets nervous
disturbance and allays irritation. 1t In
duCes refreshing rest and sleep. The
nerves recuperate strength and relieve
chronic weakness-it's Natures way.
Ask for Wheeler's Nerve Vitalixer. It
does not contain dope, narcotics or harm
full drugs. 1t has been in effective use
for 80 years.
