A State of Health That Needs Prompt
Treatment to Ward Off
Serious Disease.
Do you notice a large reduction in
your vital energy? Are you losing hold
on your place in the social world? Is
your strength gone, constitution weak,
appetite poor, digestion deranged, bow
els costive, with uneasiness and symp
toms of derangement in the region of
the kidneys? Such a condition is tha
preliminary to Bright’s Disease or soma
other serious kidney trouble. If this
describes the state of your body, we urge
upon you prompt action before your
health is entirely beyond recovery.
Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy you
need; it has a four-fold restorative effect.
It stimulates the torpid liver, restores
health in the stomach, strengthens and
cures the kidneys, and through its
peculiar yet agreeable laxative char
acter it clinches the good work by thor
oughly cleansing the bowels. It is a
certain remedy for kidney and liver
diseases.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
targe figure 3 in red on the front label.

It Takes
Nerve
Everything depends upon
your nerves. It is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secrete bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, so
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or eat
well, have pain or misery
anywhere, your nerves are
weak, and your system run
down. To restore this vitality
take Dr. Miles’ Nervine which
will strengthen and build up
the nerves. You cannot be
healthy without strong nerves.
“For eighteen years Dr. Miles'
Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been
mv close companions. Early in mar
ried life, while raising children, my
nerves became all worn-out—could not
sleep; had no appetite; indigestion
very bad, and had such awful dizzy
spells. Then I began using Dr. Miles'
Nervine, and at once I began to im
prove, and soon found myself in
perfect health."
MRS. S. L. TOTTNG,
324 Pittsburg St., New Castle, Pa.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is sold by your
druggist, who will guarantee that the
first bottle will benefit. If it fails, he
will refund your money.
