The depressingeffeots of the present epidemic of tlrip are apparent everywhere. Teachers, clerks, business men, mechanics, laborers, street car drivers, school children, police otllcers and even the doctors all furnish victims by the hundreds. Xo remedy yet discovered can show results equal to Dr. Miles'Restorative Nervine. It. quickly overcomes the excessive exhaustion, invigorates the appetite and assists nature to throw off the deadly microbes from the sys' tern. In times of epidemic like the present it should be taken as a preventive of disease. "(Jrip had left me a physical wreck: weak, helpless and miserable. I could not oat: eould not sleep: eould not gain any strength, and had nervous J prostration of the worst kind. Our -** homo physician could not help me and I commenced using Dr. Miles' Nervine. The lirst night's sleep that I had had in four months came as the result of two Ilrst doses. When I had . taken two bottles I felt hotter than I had before in years, and < ontiniied to improve until 1 wa.; entirely cured." Km Woooako, Plymouth, Ills.
