THE OPEN SWITCH.
IN EsTABL1SHED sAFEGUARD

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 life-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
1t is Heart Disease! "But," you reply, con-
tidently, 81 haven't any heart disease-my
heart is all right" Are you sURE2
DR. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, 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 unsupported. 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,
flutterng or palpitation, pain or tenderness
in left breast shoulder or side, oppressed or
choking sensation, fainting or smothering
spells, your heart is affected.

a number, and on crushing them with a
