May Be Weak. One Person in Four Has

One of the surest signs of a weak heart Is shortness Of breath after exercise.
 Your heart is not able to pump the blood fast enough to your lungs.
 Some Of the other symptoms of Heart Trouble are: Pains in the Side, Back and Shoulder; Painting or Weak Spons; Dry Cough Swelling of Feet and Ankles; Cold Feet or Hands.
 No one can aord to allow a weak heart to go without medicine, because weak heart means poor ciTcu.a cion and stomach, liver kidneys, etc.
 If, therefore, you suspect heart trouble, begin taking Dr. Miles New Heart Cure. The Heart Cure will do you good, as 1t is a splendid tonic for the blood and nerves, and will revitalize your entire system.
 Finally, remember, Dr. Miles New Heart Cure, is sold under a guarantee that the first bottle will do you good.

The only kind of consurap- ton to fear is "neglected consumption
 People are learning that con- sumption is a curable disease. It is neglected consumption tkat is so often incurable.
 At the faintest suspicion of consumption get a bottle of Scott's Emulsion and begin regular doses.
 The use of Scott's Emulsion at orce, has, in thousands of cases, turned the balance in favor of health.
 Neglected consumption does not exist where Scott's Emul- sion is.
 Prompt use of Scott's Emul- sion checks the disease while 1t can be checked.
