last. Crops are pretty well all
gathered, cotton sold and money
paid out, and I am sympathising

families that will be poorly clad
for winter. The farmers worked
hard and made an honest effort
to meet their obligations but the
outlook for them is not bright.

Suffered 20 Years c
fco
MRS. MARY LEWIS, wife of a promi
nent farmer, and well known by all
old residents near Belmont, N. Y,.
writes: lor twenty-seven years I had been
a constant sufferer from nervous prostra
tion, and paid large sums of money for doc
tors and advertised remedies without bene
fit. Three years ago my condition was
alarming; the least noise would startle and
unnerve me. I was unable to sleep, had a
number of sinking spells and slowly grew
worse. I began using Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills. At first
the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice
a change; I rested better at night, my appe
tite began to improve and I rapidly grew
better, until now I am as nearly restored
to health as one of my age may expect. God
bless Dr. Miles’ N er vine. ’ ’
