Wakeful?
Sleeplessness Is a
Sign of Nerve Trou
ble and Should
Be Looked To.
There , are three different manifesta
tions of sleeplessness. 8
First, hardly to sleep a wink all night,
peepnd, to lie awake a long tips before
falling asleep; third, to fall asleep soon,
waking up after several hours, and, then
And It hard to sleep again.
They mean that somewhere In the
nerve fibres, somewhere Ip the Jsraln
cells, somewhere in the blood vessels
that carry blood to the brain, something
Is radically wrong, and must be righted,
or, the end may be worse than death.
To right it, take Dr. Miles' Nervine.
Some other symptoms of nerve trou
ble are: Dizain ess, Headache, Back
ache, Worry, Fretfulness, irritability.
Melancholy, Hack of Ambition.
They indicate diseases which may lead
to Epilepsy, Fits, St. Vitus’ Dance,
Nervous Prostration, Paralysis, Insanity.
Nothing will give such quick and last
ing relief as Dr. Miles' Nsrvlne.
"My husband had been sick for weeks,
could not sit up to have his bed made.
With all tho medical help we could get
he continued to grow worse. He could
neither sleep or eat. Our baby girl was
sent away, and all callers barred, be
cause be could not stand a bit of talk
ing. I read of a case of nervous pros
tration cured by Dr. Miles’ Rosaoretlve
Nervine, We began glvinr It to him,
and In a few days he was .able to be
dressed. From that time he steadily
Improved. Nervine saved his life.”—
