Neuritis Pains Nervous Spells Passed Away Glad Friend Told Him About the | Herb Extract The day i wasianvied by friends (to try Miller's Herb Extract Uor-‘ ! merly called Herb Juice) marked | , the turning point in my life as far | |as my health was concerned. This | | medicine has done me so much good | I can hardly find words to vxprc«‘ my gratitude. Such was part of the statement given by Mr. Geo. W. Dixon, 118 So. Lee St. Alexandria, Va. Continuing, he sald: For hours after going to bed I would lay wide | awake, sleep was almost impossible, | | and my nerves were so jumpy I could | not rest; every little thing upset me, | food would not digest and my stom- | |ach was always swollen from the | | gas that formed, seemed as though I was full of sour bile; I was con-| tinually belching, had attacks of | | dizziness and weak spells, but the | | neuritis pains were my greatest | trouble. Nothing I used helped me like this medicine, and since it has given me complete relief I feel it is my duty to pass the good word along and let others know of its great health-building power. My nerves |are now in fine condition, I sleep |sound, have a fine appetite, no | | trouble with my stomach and I am gaining right along, no longer trou- | bled with neuritis; bowels, also liver, | act regular; in short, I feel fine in | every way.
