From LaGrippe. How Dr. Miles' Nervine Restored One of Kentucky’s Business Men to Health.

No DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrlppe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless,| sleepless, nerveless, asAaGrippe. Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Eentucky, says: "In 1889 and *90 I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my nervous .system with such severity that my life was despaired of. I had not slept for more than two months except by the use of narcotics that stupefied me, but gave me no rest. I was only conscious of intense mental weakness, agonizing bodily pain and the fact that I was hourly growing weaker. When in this condition, I commenced using ! Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nervine. In two days I began to improve and in one month’s time I was cured, much to the surprise of all who knew of my condition. I have been in excellent health since and have recommended your remedies to many of my friends.’’ Louisville, Jan. 22,1895. D. W. Hilton. Dr. Miles* fterrine Restores Health.
