Almost Unnerved Me
Heart Pains.

Faint and Languid.
Dr.Mi1es'Heart Cure and
Nervine Cured Me.

"It has been five years since I was cured of
heart trouble by your Heart Cure and Nerv-
inc, and ! am just as sound as dollar in
that organ today. For several years l had
been suffering with my heart: Breathing
had become short and difficult at times,
short, sharp pains about the heart, sometimes
accompanied with futtering would make
me feel faint and languid. The least excite
ment or mental worry would almost unnerve
me. I felt that the trouble was growing
worse all the time, and after trying m any
remedies prescribed by physicians without
obtaining relief, / was induced to give your
remedies trial. l was relieved the second
day, and after taking three or four bottles all
symptoms were removed and have never
showed signs of returning. REV. GEO. w.
KIRACOPE, Chincoteague, Va.
There are many symptoms of heart disease,
which SO closely resemble those OF more COM
mon nervous disorders as to frequently mis-
lead the attending physician. Often in cases
of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver OF
lungs become affected. Again the symptoms
may be those of weakened nerves, as tired
feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is
easily excitable and apt to worry without
cause. If you have the least suspicion that
your heart is weak study your symptoms and
begin the use of DR. Miles Heart Cure, the
great heart and blood tonic, without days
delay.

Letter TO ]. S. Bowers.

Dear Sir: Here 8 what "wears long,
er" means.
D. T. McGown, Cooperstown, n. Y,
built house ip '85 and painted Devoe.
The paint lasted ten years.
A year or two later, a neighbor built
a house and painted it lead and oil. The
neighbofs house was reprinted twice In
the same time.
This looks as if the neighbor's house
was painted three times in eight Or nine
years, and McGown's once in ten years
We are not quite sure-we tell the tale
as it comes to us.
It is enough to say that Devoe Lead
and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and
oil alone. The reason is: white lead is
soft and chalks off zinc is hard and
when thoroughly ground into the lead
prevents its chalking and makes it more
durable.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEvoE & Co.,
New York.

.FAvORs REPEAL
Of RICHARD ACT
Bar Association Wants
Return to Old Form
Of Ballot.

At its annual meeting yesterday after
noon the Bar Association adopted
minority committee report favoring the
repeal of the Rickard act and a return to
the old form of the ballot. The COM
mittee was instructed to prepare a bill
for such purpose.
The committee unanimously reported in
favor of an amendment to the existing
law whereby the courts are precluded
from declaring a mark upon the ballot a
distinguishing mark, unless it manifest
ly appears that such marking was not
made by inadvertence or mistake. but for
the purpose and with the intent of identi-
flying the ballot
This amendment, it is considered. will
change the presumption now enforced by
the courts against the validity of the bal
lot and create a presumption in favor of
it's validity. The committee was divided
upon the policy of repeating the present
Rlckard law and returning to the original
form of ballot.
After considerable discussion the minor
ity report, submitted by w. I. Brobeck,
was adopted.
