Representative Maynard of Virginia has
introduced a bill authorizing the govern
ment to participate in the Jamestown
tercentennial exposition at HAMPTON
Roads, in 1907. and providing an appro-
priation of $1,340,000 for government
buildings and exhibits. The bill also
provides for the coinage by the govern
ment of 100000 two-dollar silver

DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does head line SINH
lar TO the above greet us In the news
papers. The rush, push and strenuous
ness of the American people has a strong
tendency to lead up to valVular and other
affections of the heart, attended by ir-
regular action, palpitaton, dizziness,
Smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three OF the prominent ingredients OF
which DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Dis
cOVery is made are recommended by some
OF the leading writer's on Mdtertd Medtcd
for the cure of just such cases. Golden
Seal root, for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DtsPENsATORY, a stand
ard authority. "to impart tone and in
creased power to the hearts action"
Numerous other leading authorities rep
resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed
tonic for the muscular system in general,
and as the heart is almost wholly com
posed of muscular tissue, 1t naturally
follows that it must be greatly strength
ened by this superb general tonic. But
probably the most important ingredient
Of "GOldon Medical Discovery so far
as its marvellous cures of valvular and
other affections Of the heart are con-
cerned. is Stone root, or COtttDSOntd Can,
Prof. VIM. Paine, author OF Palne'S
Epitomy OF Medicine, says Of it:

so much oppressed with valFular disease OF

medicinal principle extracted from Stone
root and is now attending TO his business.
Heretofore physicians knew OF no remedy
for the removal OF so distressing and so dan
gerous a malady With them IL was all
guess work. and it fearfully warned tho
afflicted that death was near at hand. Col
linsonin unquestiOnabl affords relief in
such cases. and in most instances effects
cure"
Stone root Is also recommended by Drs
Hale and EllingwoOd, of Chicago. for
valvular and other diseases of the heart
The latter says: ut is heart tonic Of
direct and permanent influence"

cures serious heart affections, but is a
