»Tt 'ij ' ved From Death After Four Years Of Nervous Prostra tion and Debility. Dr. Miles’ Nervine Cured Me Permanently. Nervous prostration is the ioo?t serious of nervous disorders. 1t arises iro.n some extra strum, which robs the nerves of strength, vit lily and life. The patient speedily loses self control, is subject to frightful headaches, faint sp lls, melancholia and morbid tenden cies. Too weak to drag the thin, wasted body around; unable to get sleep or rest, life seems scarcely worth the living; the mind frequently broods until it becomes unbal anced and insanity often results. Rend what Dr. Miles’ Nervine did for Mrs. Grabtll: "I was terribly afflicted with nervous trouble for nearly four years. I was so bad at times that I could not help myself, nor carry a chair across the room without giving out. One physician attended me for a year and a half without giving me any help what- ever juul I nlso doctored with two others without any good results. My father and others wished me to try Dr. Miles’ Nervine which, after lots of coaxing 1 did. I took six bottles of the Nervine and some of the Nerve and Liver 1’ills. 1 was completely cured of my trouble and I heartily recommend it to any woman who is suffering from a nervous disorder. I have u;cd Dr. Miles’ Anti-Lain Fills for headache and neuralgia with best results. 1 believe (unity in the efficacy of the Nerve and Liver lulls and am fully convin ced that Dr. Miles’ Remedies saved my life.”— Mrs. 11 ATT IK Gkahul, Roanoke, Va.

Added a Half Inch to 11 is Stature. A physician of experience in ex amining candidates for civil ser vice places tells of one man who came up year after year and was always found oncdmlf inch below the required height, says the Bos ton Herald. One day the doctor, who had conic to know the fellow |>y sight, found him measuring up to the full standard. He could hardly believe his eyes. “Don’t 1 know you?” he inquir ed. “Have nut you been here repeatedly before?” “Yes sir.” “And been rejected?” “Yes sir.” “What for” “Too short, sir.” Christmas Chuckles Santa Claus is the Christmas stock king. Never look a Christmas cigar in the wrapper. A green Christmas millet’s a thin coal dealer. A stocking by the chimney worth two on the feet. The most popular Christmas pres ence— Santa Claus.

A Weekly Letter. D. QHMlMERS STOW, Funeral Director* & Embalmer And Dealer in COFFINS, CASKETS, COFFIN FIXTURES, and BURIAL ROBES, Dahlonega, Ga. Did you ever stop to think what an untiring and steady letter wri ter a good local paper is?

All is grist that comes to ’ the hopper of a newspaper. Why, if you were to undertake to write a letter each week to an absent friend and tell half the news your local paper gives, you would soon give up in despair. The Marietta Journal will do your letter writing for you for a year for two cents a week. Send the paper as a Christmas re- lnemberance to a former resident here and you will find the gift most acceptable.—Marietta Jour nal. The Nugget will do the same.
