Nervous Collapse
"I have traveled for thirty years continually. I lost a great
deal of sleep, which together
with constant worry left me in
such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was
obliged to give up traveling al
together. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles' Nervine came to my rescue I
cannot describe the suffering
which this Nervine saved me.
Whenever I am particularly
nervous a few doses relieve me. A. G. C. LIBBY, Wells, Me.
lhcre are many nervous wrecks. There is nervous prostration of the stomach, of the
bowels, and other organs. The brain, the kidneys, the liver, the nerve centers are all exhausted.
There is but one thing to da
build up the nervous system by the use of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. Its strength
ening influence upon the nerv
ous system restores normal
action to the organs, and when
they all work in harmony, health
is assured. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.
