"For six years I suffered almost constantly from a complication of troubles which culminated in complete nervous prostration. 1 had no appetite, I could not sleep, I suffered from indigestion and nervousness. As is so often the case in nervous prostration I frequently had weak, fainting spells. did not help me. They said my blood was very poor, and I know my face was always very pale.

The very first bottle of Dr. Miles' Nervine I took gave me noticeable relief and I felt stronger than I had in years. My neighbors in Puyallup, where I then lived will testify to this. I also used some of Dr. Miles' Restorative Tonic and Anti-Pain Pills.
