''INGURABLE" HEART DISEASE
SOON CURED.

During the last two or three years,
very great Improvement; has been made,
IN thettreatment Of diseases Of the heart.
Cases formerly considered fncurable now

known specialist in treating heart dis
eases, Franklin Miles. M. D., LII. B., Of
Chicaso; will esend $3.50 worth of hiss

afflicted readers.
This liberal offer is for the purpose of
demonstrating the unusual curative pow
ers Of his new Treatments for heart trou-
bles, such as short breath, pain in the
side, oppression in the chest Irregular
pulse, palpitation, smothering spells,
putting of the ankles or dropsy
They are the result Of twenty-five years
of careful study, extensive research. and
remarkable experience in treating dis
eases OF the heart stomach and nerves.,
which often complicate each case.
The Treatments are prepared expressly.
for each patient, as the result is very
much more certain and. satisfactory.
Few physicians have such confidence
in their remedies. And there is no rea-
son why all afflicted persons should not
avail themselves of this liberal offer. No.
death comes more suddenly than that

LONDON, April 27-The Saturday Re
view says today that the ex-
pansion of the. German navy is more in
preparation for a contest with the United
States than with Great Britain, because
the readiest causes for future naval con-
fiicts will be found in the struggle for the
partition or the exploitation Of the great
South American continent
The Review dcvotes a rage to tho
description of South America and the
German settlers in Brazil and the ina,
bility of Germany pursuing her designs
on South America without g conflict with
the United States. The article concludes
with the statement that it will not be
good policy for Great Britain to oppose
Germany's legitimate aims and that an
alliance with the United States that hal
for it's purposes the maintenance of the
Monroe doctrine would not only be ludi.

it would rightly arouse every other ma
