You may trout your ulTuIra as a series of cares, You may live on a scrap or a crust; But when the day's done, put It out of your neaa; Don't take vour troubles to bed. You may batter your way through the thick of the fray, You may sweat, you may steam, you mnv Krunt: You muy be a Jaek-fool if you must, but this rule Bhmild ever be kent at the front; Lion't tilth with your pillow, but lay down vour head And knock every worriment out of bod.

Nervous Cramps In Hands and Feet.

Dr. Miles Nervine Was My Salvation. Sleeplessness is at once a symptom and a disease. Just as soon as (he nerves become deranged the patient suffers from sleepless ness. Deprived oi their natural rest nerves soon lose all force and vitality and while sleeplessness Is a symptom in tmch cases it frequently becomes chronic and remains the chief effect ot disordered nerves.

Dr. Miles' Nervine quiets the nerves and strengthens them; soothes the tired brain and permits sleep; restores lost energy and vitality and brings sleep, health and strength. "Previous to our coming to the territory three rears ago, wo lived In Virginia, and it was there that I got acquainted with the wonderful powers of Dr. Miles' Nervine. 1 had been under the doctor's care and taking his medicine for over two years, but the nervous trouble that was gnawing my life away grew steadily worse.

1 had nervous cramps in my hands and legs, which would draw up and pain me so that I could not sleep at night. Often 1 never closed my eyes for days and nights together. The doctor finally told me he could do nothing more for me and that I was on the verge of insanity. He told me I might try your Nervine as a last resort and it Droved to be mv salvation. When I had used four bottles of the remedy together witn the JNerve and Liver nils had regained my former good health." MRS, Martha J.
