No DISEASE has ever presented so many peculiarities as LaGrippe. No disease leaves its victims so debilitated, useless, sleepless, nerveless, as LaGrippe. Mr. D. W. Hilton, state agent of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Kentucky, says: “In lss9 and 'VO I had two severe attacks of LaGrippe, the last one attacking my nervous system with such severity that my life was despaired oL ) bad 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 add th#> 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 iu 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 yonr rem&xies to many of my friends.” Louisville. Jan- S3,- 1S9S. D. W. IIeltos. Dr. Miles’ Semite Restores Health
