COMMON ERRORS.
In the Treatment Of
HEART TROUBLE

II sufferers from HEART TROUBLE
sonly knew that the accumulation OF
uric acid and other poisonous waste
spfoducts in the blood thicken the
blood almost to a jelly and clog Its cir
sculation they would understand why
the heart Is overworked and under the
strain they have Palpitation, Irregular
Pulse, Difficult Breathing, Dizziness
and are threatened with heart failure
which may come at any time.
In this condition to make the COM
mon mistake of taking heart stimu-
lants to whip up the already overwork-
ed heart Is exceedingly dangerous and
often results In a ruptured blood yes
sci. enlarged heart. apoplexy or heart
failure.
TO take the so-called heart remedies
that give temporary relief by unload
ing the poisonous waste products from
the blood back into the tissues make
Future trouble more certain and more
marked as they will surely return to
\ the blood with added accommodations
and your case becomes chronic by con-
tinuation Of such treatments.
The only safe, sensible thing to do
is to clear the uric poisons from the
plood by eXcretlng them through the
kidneys. To do this the urates must
be made freely soluble so they can
pass In the circulation.
For this express purpose DR.. Scott
originated his now famous remedy,
E-LIM-I-NO. It promptly relieves the
heart strain and corrects the symp-
toms by removing the cause OF the
trouble. Elinino contains no alcohol
or, stricna stimulants. 1t has no bad
after effect and produces no drug
habit.
Sold by druggists at $1.00 for large
bottle. Write DR.. e. G. Scott. describ.
ing your case and you will receive his
book on uric acid ailments free, and
also the name of a druggist who will
sell you the first bottle on a positive
guarantee Of satisfaction. Address

per a year in advance. AS a re-
ward, he was never sick in his
life, never had corn on his toes,
or toothache, his potatoes never
rot, the frost never kills his pears,
his babies never cry at night, his
wife never scolds, and he has sue
ceeded in serving three terms on
the School board without being
criticised.
| Among the duties of Cover
nors of different States which
doubtless cause the eXecutives.the
greatest worry is the decisions
they must make in the matter of
application for reprieves for con-
demned murderers. If they re-
fuse to grant clemency they are
referred to as cruel-hearted, while
on the other hand if they refuse
to grant a stay of execution they
are denounced as being chicken
hearted. 1t is a duty of which
any Governor would doubtless be
glad to have shifted on to the
shoulders of some one else.
