Woman Finally Recovers
From Nervous Breakdown
Impoverished nerves destroy mtny
people before their time. Often be
fore a sufferer realises what th
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. It
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good con
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Rosa
Conner, Bi$ N. 18th St., Birming
ham, Ala., says:
"I have been suffering with nerv
ous proMration. for nine or tea
years. Have tried many of the best
doctors in Uirmingham, but they all
failed to reach my case. I woulJ
feel as if I was smothering: finally
I went into convulsions. My little
girl saw
Dr. Miles' Nervine
advertised in the papers and I at
once began to take H. I continued
to take it for some time and now I
am welL"
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 realize what is the mat
ter with you, tut that is no reason
why you should delay treatment
Dr. MUea Nervine
has proven its value in nervous .dis
orders for tl.irty years, and merits
a trial, no matter how many other
remedies have failed to help you.
