NATHAN CHASE of New Bedford, Mass, under
date of Jan. 80, 1890, says: my doctor told me
must not walk fast nor hurry TO railroad trains,
but be continually careful of myself, as 1 should
be liable to drop dead at any time, my heart being
badly affected. 1 could scarcely breathe then
after going upstairs. This was about three years
ago. My doctor said that he could not cure my
old machinery, because 1t was all worn out.
could not lie down. and had hard work to breathe,
and after week of great suffering knew that
must die unless got immediate relief. / sent
for bottle of HUNTS REMEDY, and after taking
a few doses slept three hours, and when awoke
my breathing was all right. OF course, at my
age about 7S) am obliged to be careful, but If
take cold or overwork take HUNTS REMEDY,
and it always relieves me. l have asked several
doctors regarding a substitute for HUNTS
REMEDY, but can find nothing so good. 1t has
never failed"

vicinity. he IA shud

time. Hence 1t is not surprising that mothers and
children bless the CUTIoURA REMEDIES.
