Branch OF the West Virginia Univer-

about 40 per cent of the graduates
from the school went on to higher in
situations of learning, and an investi-

sception those who had not gone on
were engaged in honorble and profit

In the matter of aerostation we seem

Five Years
Of Heart Trouble CsFo ~
Dr.. Miles Heart Remedy

Before I began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy / had been
suffering from heart trouble for
over five years. had pains in
my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was so short
Of breath the least exertion
would bring on the most distress
ing palpitation. I had scarcely
taken half bottle of the Heart
Remedy before / could see a
marked change in my condition.
When / had taken six bottles I
was cured"
MRS. c. c. GORKEY,
Mortified, Va
If there is fluttering or palpi-
tation it is an indication of a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the heart. 1t is not neceS-
sarily diseased-just weak from
over-work. The heart may be
weak just the same as the eyes,
stomach or other organs. You
can make weak heart strong
by taking DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy. Get a bottle from your
druggist, take it according to d.
rections, and if it does not bene-
fit he will return your money.
