the word 'tposter," as applied to printed

towns, who stuck them upon two stout

Died suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common is the announcement. Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by this
fatal malady. This disease generally has it's
origin in impure blood filed with irritating
poisonous Materials which, circulating through
the heart, irritate its delicate tissues. Though
the irritation may at first be only slight, pro-
ducing little palpitation or irregular action
or dull, heavy or sharp, darting pains, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and
Inflammation or hvpertrophy, or thickening of
the lining membrane or OF the valves, is pro-
duced. How wise to give early attention to q
case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing or
pain in the region of the heart should ad-
monish one that all is not right, and if you
would preserve 1t from further disease, you
must help it to beat rightly by the use of such
a remedy as will remove the cause of the
trouble Use DR.. Pierces Golden Medical
Discovery before the disease has become too
seated, and it will, by its great blood purifying
and wonderful regulating properties, effect a
perfect cure. It contains medicinal properties
which act specifically upon the tissues of the
heart, bringing about a healthy action. Sold
