Miss Bertha Charrette, Regina,

trouble lately, with what I thought
was heart trouble, and after any un-
usual exertion I always felt sick.

My doctor advised a complete rest
and change, but this I was unable to’
take.

I became interested in Milburn’s
Heart and Nerve Pills, so started tak-
ing them. I haye now taken threa
boxes and am so much improved I can
go about my daily work without feel-
ing any after ill effects, and have not
had any weak or dizzy spells for
some time, Your medicine has done
me more good than anything I have
