Nearly all my life I have been a great sufferer from nervousness* 1 could not sleep. I ate very little. 1 lost llesh all the time. My complexion got sallow. Nothing pleased me. Our family doctor did all lie could for me. He worked patiently,hut everybody noticed that I kept inir down hill. People thought 1 had consumption.One day 1 happened to pick up a little booklet with the picture of a candle on it. It attracted my attention. 1 read it. It was of deep interest to me. The next flay 1 bought a bottle of Graybcard. I had not taken the full bottle be fore I felt better. I have taken six bottles, and have just bought three more. I have gained flesh. I haven’t felt letter since I was a child. Everything 1 cat I di gest And 1 have a splendid appetite. I can laugh at amusing things. I imagine I feel like other people. Ev erybody is so glad to see me so vigorous looking and so healthy. 1 would not take fI,OOO lor the benefit I have received from Graybcard. It is a wonderful remedy, and I fully believe it saved my life. MISS NANNIE JONES. Allison, N. C. Get Graybcard at drug stores, $1 a bottle, or send to Respess Drug Cos.
