STEP IN AND ASK ABOUT THEM. A.IS answered at Vernon Hull's Large Store. HILLSGROVE, PA. "The Liver Pills act So Naturally and Easily." Such a statement, coining from , the cashier oi a bank, shows what! confidence responsible people have 1' in these pills. Mr. A. L. Wilson after trying them wrote: "I have used Dr. Miles' Nerr« and Liver Pills and also your Antl-Paln Pills, on myself, with good results. The Liver Pills act so naturally and so easily that I scarcely know that I have taken a pill. Frequently being troubled with headache I take an Antl-Paln Pill and set immediate relief in every case." A. L. Wilson, Sparta, 111. Mr. Wilson was for a number | of years cashier of the Firat National Bank of Bpart*. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills are different from others. Many kinds of liver pills are "impossible" after one trial on account of their harshness. Dr. Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills do not act by sheer force but in an easy, natural way, with out griping or undue irritation. They are not habit forming. If the first bottle falls to benefit, your druggist will return the price. Ask hlm« MIL.ES MEDICAL CO., Elkhart. Ind.
