Said He Would Die

I'm 1903 we wrote you regard

fering from heart trouble. He
was superanuated by the North
Georgian Conference. Ten doc
tors at different times said he
would die. You advised DR..
Miles Heart Remedy and Re-
storative Nervine; we did as
advised, and Improvement was
apparent from the very first. He
recovered and the Conference in
1904 gave him a charge. He
never felt better, although he
has very heavy work and does
a great deal of camp meeting
work. / am so glad we took
your advice and gave him the
medicine, and feel that / ought
to let you know of the wonder

and sailed off in front with Miss Picnic
in close attendance. She started TO
overhaul him at the last turn and he
carried her wide into the stretch
Then he bored into the rail ana
spoiled the chance of Binocular, who
was picking up ground at every stride.
Lewiston was swerving badly at the
wire and nearly put Binocular over
the rail, managing to win by half
length. Binocular got the place from
Miss Picnic by a head. Sonia had no
