Physicians Could Not Prevent Fits. Dr. Miles* Nervine Cured My Wife. Dr. Miles' Nervine has been successfully tried in thousands of cases of nervous disorders, but neverjhas it made a better record than when used in the treatment of fits or spasms. Thousands of testimonials prove this, and in nearly every instance the writer has stated that the fits rencert nfter ttie t!r.( vine was given. The statement is repeated in the following: "Seven years ago my wife commenced having spasms or fits and I called in my home physician and he said she was paralyzed. lie rubbed her with salt water and gave her calomel and she eventually go# some better, but in a short time she had another attack. She was confined to her bed for three months and the doctor could not help her. She had fits frequently, some times very severe. Her hands woultl cramp so we could not open them and she finally got so her jaws would become locked. Finally I saw the doctor was doing her no good and ordered a bottle of Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine. She received so much benefit from the first bottle that I got some more. She has taken a number of bottles but has never had a fit since taking the first dose. She also thinks very highly of Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills and is never without them. If there is any way of making this testimonial stronger do so because of the good the Dr. Miles Restorative Nervine did mv wife."?\Vm. Y. Allp.n, P. M, Elkvillc, Miss.
