Georgia’s beloved governor, Hoi-.

critically ill in a sanitarium in At

He was taken very suddenly Sun

in anguishing pains until Monday
night when the physicians docidi.U.
that an operation was necessary.
The opinion of seven leading physi
cians was that the Governor -'could
not possibly live without the < ■-.na

operation was performed *by t.lie
most skilled surgeons m the state,
but, with -ill that skill and science,

“Give me tlm papers.” said the

The document was signed and die

“Now hand me my will.”

How Dr. Miles’ Nervine Restored
One of Kentucky’s Business
Men *° ** ea^*l,
■
NO DISEASE ha3 ever presented so many
peculiarities as LaGrippe. No diseaso
leaves its victims so debilitated, useless,
smepiess, nerveless, as LaGrippe.
Mr. I). W. Hilton, state a-rent of the Mut
ual Life Insurance Cos., of Kentucky, says:
"in IKB9 and ‘9O I had two severe attacks
of LaGrippe, the last oue attacking my ner
vous .system with such severity that my life
was despaired of. I had notsioptformo.ro
than two months except by the use of nar
e tics, that stupefied me, but gave me no
rest, i was only conscious of intense mental
weakness, agonizing bodily pain arid the
fact that I was houriy growing weaker.
When in thiscondit ion. I commenced using
I)r Miles’ Restorative Nervine. In two days
I began to inaprovo and in one month's time
I was cured, much to the surprise of all who
knew of my condition. I have been in ex
cellent health since and have recommended
your remedies to many of my friends."
