It’s Nerves 
That make life worth living— 
when they are all right. But 
when weak or exhausted it’s dif- 
ferent; some of the organs do not 
get enough nerve energy. Their 
action becomes weak. The pen- 
alty is aches, pains and misery. 
Dr. Miles’ Nervine restores nerv- 
ous energy. It establishes normal 
‘ activity, so that nature can cor- 
rect the irregularities. 
“Dr. Miles’ Nervine has completely 
cured me of nervousness and indigestion. 
I suffered untold misery for months, The 
first half bottle of Dr. Miles’ Nervine 
relieved me. I have used 7 bottles in all, 
and now I feel aswell as ever, eat 
heartily, digestion good, nerves_ strong, 
sleep well.” MRS. MOLLIE, FLENOR, 
Campbell, Texas. 
If first bottle fails to benefit, money back, 
MILES MEDICAL CO., Elknart, Ind. 
used for the purpose of assisting in re- 
lieving the distress and suffering now ex- 
isting there.”’
