Almost Blind
Boy Treated by an Ocuiist With.
out Relief But Now He Is Well.

EtWhen my little boy was three months
old his eyes became very sore and he was
almost blind. / took him to an oculist
who treated him for six months, and left
him as bad as he was at the beginning.
Finally Ho>d's Sarsapsrilla was recon-
mended and / began giving it to him.
In less than three weeks he was able
to go into the sun without covering
his eyes, and today his eyes are perfectly
well, and his ears and nose, which were
badly affected, are also well. Hoods
Sarsaparilla has certainly done wonders
for my boy" Mrs. JAMES II. PAINTER,

Danger. FROM Violent E.ereIse.

There is considerable diversity Of

heart, there appears to be but one opin
ion-namely, that that organ, accus-
toned to "a quiet life, may he danger
ously and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain in athletic sports. EN
perience in medical practice, SAYS an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa,
tient with weak heart must he eX-
trcmely cautious in his exercises, and
the demonstration of dilutatiun of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent,
exhausting effort which has been made
was of II surprising nature. Many elm
zeal observers III Germany and i'll this
country have detected by percussion and
observation of the changes in the heart
beats that there is under strain and eXer.
ton considerable dilatation, which con.
tinues for a shorter or longer time after

this has been afforded by the Rocntgel
