Mr W. H. Palmer, of Waterloo, Iowa, writes: "I was taken with a nervous stricture of the bronchial tubes, which developed into nervous pros tration, I was so weak I could not sit up. I jtot no sleep for days except when under the Influence of opiates. For four months I suf fered agonies and prayed that I might die and be at rest. One physician said I had consumption, for I had a cough that gave me no rest. But a good old physician whose medicine had failed, advised me to use Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine and I thank God that It has bright ened my days, lengthened my life and saved me from the horrors of nervous prostration.” Dr. Miles’ Remedies are sold by all drug gists under a positive guarantee, first bottle benefitsor money refunded.

My wife suffered more in ten minutes with either of her other two children than she did ul- together with her last, having previously used four bottles of ‘ Mother’s Friend.’ It is a blessing to any one expecting to become a mother,” says a customer. Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist, of Canni, 111., to the Bradfield Regulator Company, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie- tois and manufactnrers of “ Mother’s Friend.’' This successful remedy is not one of the many internal medicines ad vertised to do unreasonable things, but a scientifically prepared liniment especially effective in adding strength and elasticiiv to those parts of woman’s organism which bear the severest strains of childbirth. The liniment may be used at any and •11 times during pregnancy up to the very hour of confinement. The earlier it is begun, and the longer used, the more perfect will be the result, but it has been used during the last mouth only with peat benefit and success. It not only shortens labor and lessens the pain attending it, but greatly dimin ishes the danger to life ot both mother and child, and leaves the mother in a con dition more favorable to speedy recovery. “ Mother’s Friend ” is sold by druggists at $i.oo, or sent by express on receipt of price.
