Worry Often Causes
Loss
Worry is probably the most common cause of
restlessness. Anxieties and fears, worries over finan
cial and other matters, all take their toll of hours
of restful sleep.
Such a condition may eventually result in nerv
ousness and irritability, loss of appetite or fatigue.
If you suffer from a nervous condition or restlessness, why not try
Milburn’s Health and Nerve Pills? Over the past fifty years, thousands
of Canadians have found Milburn’s Health and Nerve Pills beneficial as
a general tonic to help build up the system and thus help promote
refreshing rest and sleep.
Ask your druggist for Milburn’s Health and Nerve Pills, identified
by the “Red Heart” on the box.
