“When I commenced taking Dr. Miles’
mervins I had net slept for two months
except by the use of narcotics. I began to
improve the next day and in one month

with a severe nervous teguble for 13 years,
and our best physicians’had failed to help
her. Seeing how it helped me she began
using Nervine and it cured her.”
