No Rest Day or Night "1 would lay awake (or hoqra without any apparent cause, or dream terrible dreams which would bring on extreme spells . f nervousness. After taking Miles’ Nervine and Tonic for awhile I could sleep well, and ths nervous spells have left raa." MISS ALMA HUG. R. R, No. 4, Canal Dover, Ohio. Without sleep the nervous system soon becomes a wreck, and the healthful activity of all the organs obstructed. Restful, body-building sleep accompanies the use of Dr. Miles* Nervine because it sooihes the irritable nerves, and restores nervous energy. When taken a few days according to directions, the most restless sufferer will find sleep natural and healthful. Get a bottle from your druggist. Take it all according to directions, and if it does not benefit be will re-

turn your money.
