One person out of every four has a
weak or diseased heart, and yet very
few people are aware of it. The
trouble is that most doctors do not
understand heart troubles. They
very often treat patients for dis
orders of the stomach, lungs and
kidneys, when the trouble is in the
heart itself. Anyone with weak
heart is always in grave danger, and
proper attention is absolutely neces-
sary. People drop dead every day
from heart disease. Beware of
f1uttering of the heart, palpitation,
or skipping beats always due to
weak or diseased hearts, numbness
or pain in the left side, or under
shoulder blade, fainting spells, dizzi-
ness, spots before the eyes, sudden
starting in sleep, nightmare, choking,
sensation in hands and feet, swell
ing of the feet and ankles Zone of the
surest signs also, neuralgia around
the heart. Heart disease is always
fatal unless properly treated in the
beginning, and death comes like a
flash of lightning.
Bar-Ben Formula O has been es-
pecially prepared to meet the de-
mand for a good heart tonic. 1t is
compounded from Tinct. StrOphan-
thus, Glonton, Sparteine and pure
extract of Bar-Ben, the greatest
modern nerve tonic and vitaliZer.
Formula o will quickly relieve a
weak or diseased heart in the early
stages, and a PERSISTENT use will cure
the most advanced case, toning and
strengthening the heart, regenerat-
ing the blood and rebuilding the en-
tire nervous system. For sale by

GOOD WORDS FOR JUDGE GRANT.

Elsewhere in this issue the DEMO
Graf publishes the translation of
Editor Seybold's comment, in yes
terday's Akron Germania, upon the
candidacy of Hon. c.. R. Grant for
nomination for Justice of the Su-
preme Court.
Editor Seybold' S warm commenda-
ton of the candidacy of Judge
Grant, and his earnest tribute to the
excellent personal character and
qualifications and high standing of
the Judge at the bar, will be read
with pleasure by the 1atter's many
friends in Summit county and else
where throughout Ohio. But this is
only one of the many testimonials
Judge Grant is receiving from Re-
publicans as well as Democrats since
the announcement of his candidacy
last Saturday, and he has every rea-
son to feel encouraged.
Yesterday one of the most influ-
ential members of the Cuyahoga
county bar, in a letter to the Judge,
informed him that his candidacy
would receive the' hearty endorse
ment of his fellow barristers and that
they would use all their influence in
behalf of his candidacy.
AS. the DEMOCRAT announced Sat
urday, the Judges candidacy
depends upon his endorsement by the
Summit county convention. The
DEMOCRAT is receiving a number of
communications from prominent
local Democrats, and from independ-
ent Republicans who expect to sup
port the Democratic ticket this
fall if it does the right thing in its
nominations and pledges of legisla-
ton, endorsing the candidacy of the
Judge and urging the local conven-
tion to stand unitedly by him. Sew
eral communications along this line
are published today.

THE PASSING OF FORAKER.

Senator Foraker will get little pub
lie sympathy to encourage him in
resisting the organized attacks that
are being made upon him under the
direction of Mark Hanna.
Time was when a word from Fora
ker would have rallied to his support
thousands of loyal supporters; but
his weak compromises with his
political enemies to favor his own
selfish interests, his faithlessness to
his friends on occasions when they
most needed his assistance, and his
notorious connection with the inter
ests of the trusts, whether as paid
agent or lobbyist, have left him with
out following, and at the mercy of
the inscriptions leaders who domi-
nate his party.
The fight now being made upon the
Senior Senator is merely the prelim-
mary to his defeat for reelection to
the Senate two years hence, and the
election in his stead of a man to be
named by Hanna. Foraker is pass
ing into political oblivion, and pass
ing rapidly.
