I am a grain shoveller, and any work seemed to make matters worse, 1 did very little towards a cure till last fall, when my case bé- came very acute. 1 was unable to stand the chilling winds and outdoor exercise at all. 1 went from one; doc: tor to another--five in all---but gqt no relief. My muscles and' joints $ta ened, ached intensely and hard lumps came out on the tendons of my fingers and wrists. In blink despair I went to the drug store and got five bottles of Nerviline --paid gne dollar for the five. I took it internally and used it outward as a rub. Twe days made a change--a week sgw an' impraoyement--four weeks saw me well. 1 was "cured, free of «tiffness, pain and suffering. Nerviline | did it all--how I do wish all other | sufferers would use Nerviline also. I'm | sure it will cure them all." Thousands.of cases just like this could be told--nothing else is so cer tain in rheumatism, neuralgia, sciati- ca, and lumbago' as Nerviline. Refuse substitutes, and try a 25c. bottle 10-4 day.
