Before ! began taking DR..
Miles Heart Remedy had been
suffering from heart trouble for

my left side, and under my
shoulder blade, could not sleep
on the left side, and was SO short

MRS. c. c. GoRKEY,
Mortified, Va.
If there is auttering 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 bottle from your
druggist, take it according to di-
rections, and if it does not bene-
fit he will return your money.

the shock of which was felt in an area
of so miles, the ntroglycerin factory at
Gordon, ILL.,, across the Wabash river
from this place, was destroyed by q
terrific explosion late yesterday after.
noon.
Half dozen men were reported to
have met death as result of the ex-
plosion, but up to a late hour last
night only two were known to be
dead, the remains having been found
In the debris, which covered an area
of several miles.
Help Of Little Avail.
The men who were blown to pieces
were said to be the only ones within
the factory at the time, although the
first report from the scene placed the
dead at 30. but this was quickly de-
MED by the officials of the company.
Help was at once rushed to the
scene from nearby cities, but proved
of little avail. The plant was blown
to pieces and great hole was torn In
the eQth.
All Communication Destroyed.
The shock was so terrific that all
the telephone and telegraph wires run
ming out of Gordon were put out Of
business until late hour last night
when the wire companies finally re
stored their connections
Robinson, ILL.,. was the first near
by town to send aid to the town o.
Gordon. and upon the arrival of the
rescue party there they found there
was little to do.
It was learned that the names Of
the dead men were Moses Lantz ant

Thought II Earth Tremor.
When the blast was felt in towns
near Gordon it was at first supposed
to be an earthquake shock, but imme
diately reports spread like wildfire
that the nitroglycerin factory at Cor
don had been destroyed by an explo
sion and the fears were quieted. Sc
terrific was the force of the explo
sion that it started a small tidal wave
in the Wabash river, which frightened
those who were out on the stream In
boats.

When you take Kodol, the food you
have eaten will be digested naturally,
regularly and promptly, and in this
way Kodol gives the stomach chance
to regain its lost strength and health,

you do need it and if it fails to benefit
you your money will be refunded to
