Suicide
What Drives so Many
People to This Dark
Path, and Why.
If a man—before taking a step made j
possible only by brooding and despair—
would consider that his feeling of dark
ness is only a question of nerves—he
would be saved.
For, the depression leading to self de
struction Is truly a disease of the nerves.
This nerve depression or melancholy
Is often accompalned or preceded by
severe or constant Headache, Dizziness,
Dullness, Loss of Memory, Sleeplessness,
Muscular Twitchlngs, Nervous Prostra
tion, Spasms, Brain Fag, and other
signs of serious nerve trouble.
The cure Is Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
It Is a nerve medicine for weak nerves
and can be depended upon to make you
well.
No matter what form of nerve trouble
you may be suffering from, you can de
pend on Dr. Miles’ Nervine.
It will do what no other medicine or
treatment may be able to do for you—
save you from that black hour of brood
ing, which so many of us dread.
“I had several attacks of nervous
spasms, and for a long time could get
no relief. I saw Dr. Miles’ Nervine
advertised and bought a bottle. After
using the first bottle .1 was much bet
ter, and when I had taken six bottles
was entirely cured. I have never been
troubled since.”—MRS. W. A. BIRD,
Stillmore, Ga.
The first bottle Is guaranteed to benefit
you, or druggist will refund your money.
