THE OPEN SWITCH.



Anybody who travels by cars knows what
is meant by an open switch" 1t is the
terror of railroad men, and the dread of the
traveller. Its victims-killed, horribly man
gled or manned for lfe-are numbered by
the score each year.
Yet even the dreaded "open switch is not
so widely fatal as is a certain disease, which,
without ceasing its activity for an instant, is
daily filling hundreds of graves.
What is that terrible ailment? you ask,
fdently, ~ haven't any heart disease-rny
heart is all right" Are you SURE?
sDr. Franklin Miles, Of EllShart, Ind, the
distinguished specialist in diseases of the
heart and nervous system, states that disor-
ders of the heart are as common as those of
the lungs, liver, stomach, bowels or kidneys,
though often unsuspected. The reason peo-
pie are not aware of this important fact is
because symptoms of heart disease are not
usually recognized as proceeding from this
organ, but are attributed to some other
source. If you have shortness of breath,
huttering or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast, shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart IS affected.
"I had been troubled with heart disease
for years. Myleft pulse was very weak, could
at times scarcely feel it, excitement would
weaken my nerves and heart and fear OF
impending death stared me in the face for
hours. Or. Miles RerNine and New Heart
Cure are the only medicines that have proved
ofany benefit and cured mel. M. DY EK,
Cloverdale, Md.
"My wife has been taking DR.. Miles Nev
Cure for the Heart. She thinks itwondertul.
She has not been troubled with pain or
smothering spells since using it. We have
also used DR.. Miles Pills, and we find them
alIthey are claimed to be. ."-GEO. L. FINK,
Philadelphia, Pa.
These and hundreds Of similar testimo-
malls are convincing proofs of the wonderful
powers of DR.. Miles New Cure for tie Heart

the service offered by the Wisconsin Gem

points East and South. Two fast trains
leave st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth
daily, equipped with Pullman Vestibuled
Drawing Room Sleepers, Dining Cars and
Coaches Of the latest design. Its Dining
Car Service is unsurpassed, which accounts,
to great degree, for the popularity Of this
line. The Wisconsin Central Lines, in con-

only line from Pacific Coast points over
which both Pullman Vestibuled, first-class,
and Pullman Tourist Cars are operated via
St. Paul without change TO Chicago.
