DIR. PIERcE's REMEDIES
DIED SUDDENLY
OF HEART DISEAS

How frequently does a head line 81
lar to the above greet Us In the neS
papers. The rush, push and strenuOu
ness of the American people has stron
tendency TO lead up to valvular and Othe
affections of the heart, attended By ir
regular action, palpitation, dizziness
smothered sensations and other distress
ing symptoms.
Three of the prominent ingredients
which DIR. Pierce'S Golden Medical Dis
cOvery is made are recommended BY some
Of the leading writer's on MUteTjG Medic
for the cure Of Just such cases. Colder
Seal root. for instance, is said by the
UNITED STATES DIsPENsATORY, a stand
ard authority, ITO 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, Y naturally
follows that IL must be greatly strength
ened by this superb, general tonic But
probably the most important Ingredient
of Golden Medical Discovery so far
as it's marvellous cures Of valvular and
other affections Of the heart are con-
cerned, is Stone root, or C0lEtns0ntd CG1l.,

Heretofore physicians knew OF no remedy

afflicted that death was near at hand. Col

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 a heart tonic q

there for any reform measure placed before
