for hours after I would go to bed. I
wouldatoss and turn from one side to the

thcu wake up in the night, and lie awake
s long time before "I would get to sleep
again. I thought I would try Milburn s
Heart and Nerve Pills,, as they were

deep -without any trouble; my nerves
lean quieted, and when I lie down I go
to sleep quickly. Anyone who is both -
