about four years ago | began to notice
a fluttering of my heart, which grew
so bad after while tt at l could not

my kidneys were affected. This came

vacation, being compelled to
work for my living, and
so 1 kept along taking what
stuff the doctors prescribed, but feel

two at time.
Finally my legs and hands began
to ache and swell with rheumatic
pains, and l found couldn't sleep at

to see if she would be helped any by
them, and then | tried them myself

first, but before | had finished the
first box | noticed that ! was feeling
better. The palpitation Of my heart,
which had bothered me so that |
couldn't breathe at times, began to

home on the hill from the depot,
which was previously an awful task,
my heart did not beat so violently
and | had more breath when | reach

stronger, the gas belching was not so
bad, my appetite aud digestion i'm
proved, and my sleep became nearly
tural and undlSturbed. | have
continued taking the pills three times
day every since last March. and TO-
day | am feeling better than at any
time during the last eight years. Il
can confidently and cOnScientiOuSly
say that they have done NE more
good, and their good effects are more
permanent, than any medicine |
have ever taken. My rheumatic
pains in legs and hands are all gone.
The pains in the small of my back,
which were SO bad at times that |
couldn't stand up straight, have near
ly all vanished, and [ find my kidneys
are we'll regulated by them. This is
an effect not claimed for the pills in
the circular, but in my case they
brought it about. | can now go up
any hill without the slightest distress
or palpitation or loss of breath, and
am feeling 100 per cent. better in ev-
cry shape and manner.

to me, for since [ began their use |

them until | am certain my cure is a
thorough and lasting one"
After talking with Mr.. VOSe at the
depot, where his engine was in wait
ing, the reporter went to the house
where Mrs. Holt, the other patient
for whom the pills have done so much,
received him and gave an extended
account of her experience with them.
Mrs. Holt said:
Il am 81 years old, and for IA years
past I'have had an intermittent heart
trouble. Three years ago | had ner-
