MARVELLOUS ENDURANcE.-The vast amount of la- bor performed by the heart in keeping all portions of the body supplied with blood is not generally known It beats 100000 times, and forces the blood at the rate of 16s miles day, which is 5000 900 times and 5,15O, ,ss0 miles in life time No wonder there are so many HEART FAILURES. The first symptoms shortness of breath when exercising, pain in the side stomach, futtering, choking in throat op- pression, then follow weak, hungry smothering spells, swollen ankles, etc. Dr. Franklin Miles NEW HEART CURE is the only reliable remedy.

 How to save money is a problem that inter- ests everybody. One way to do it is to in- vigorate the system with Ayers Sarsaparilla. Being highly concentrated blood medicine, it is the most powerful and economical. It is sold for dollar bottle but worth five.
 All medical authorities agree that catarrh is no more nor less than an inflammation of the lining membrane of the nasal air passages. Nasal catarrh and all catarrhal affections of the head are not diseases of the blood, and it is serious mistake to treat them as such. No conscientious physician ever attempts to do so. It is held by eminent medical men that sooner or later specific will be found for every disease from which humanity suffers. The facts justify us in assuming that for ca tarrh at least a positive cure already exists in Ely's Cream Balm.

needless to say that slumber did not de-

during that hour, At midnight the
voice exclaimed: Twelve o'clock; pre-

rushed to the library, where Edison and
his friends were waiting patiently ex-

was soon explained and quiet restored.-
