 My hands and feet were always cold, owing to my poor.Ac circulation, and suffered from palpftation of the heart and shertnesss of breath. OftensI was forced to get up out of my bed at night and get into the open air, to enable me to breathe, l was so nervous that it was almost impossible for me to get any sleep and was always feeling tired out and rundown I have wife and five children depending on me. so wanted to get well for their sakes, but had given up all hopes of ever being well, as l had taken all kinds of medicines and been doctored' without any help. had spent three months in Denver, Col, and made three trips to Hot Springs without any result, and altogether had spent over 5000 trying to get we'll.

ADJUSTMENTS
At the Lyric

Music, song, comedy, variety and nov city feature the new Keith vaudeville bill at the Lyric and compose what is generally admitted to be one of the best offerings of the summer season. Capac- ity audiences were present Thursday evening and every patron was highly entertained.
 ''Too Many Sweethearts" is one of the best vehicles of entertainment that has come Birminghamward in many moons, and is featured by fun and enjoyment Few better comedians entertain these days than Fred Helder and he is the chief fun maker of this pleasing offer ing. When Heider is on the stage-and he is on lot--there is something funny going on. And Heider is not alone as a clever member of the company as there are others who are capable and pleas ing. Patricia ODare possesses a pleas ing voice and makes herself otherwise popular during the rendition of the piece The entire company is clever and 1t was a notable fact that the burden of enter taining didn't fall too heavily on the shoulders of any one, but was well dis tributed and well taken care of where it was distributed. The song hit of the offering is Hello, Central; Give Me No Mans Land" sung by Heider. "Too Many. Sweethearts'' is an offering that will please everyone.
 Olive Briscoe and Al Raugh, as enter tainers are among the best and incl dentally Raugh is quite favorite in Birmingham. When he appeared here be- fore he was a member of one of vaude- villes famous quartets and his work is well remembered. He is now assisting Miss Briscoe in furnishing amusement and the team is clever. Miss Briscoe is singing comedienne with pleasing personality and this means that she is in Class Al as an entertainer.
 Modesto Mortensen, girl concert violin ist, is another excellent attraction of the all-star programme. This young lady. hardly more than girl capuvated her audience the moment she begins to swing her bow. She renders a programme of popular selections and is slowered with ercores. She is assisted by clever piano accompanist. Lyric screen telegran1s fur nish much pleasing entertainment.

At Loew's Riiou

Equalling in entertaining qualities any act that has ever been shown on q local vaudeville stage is the Midnight Roi- lickers." which opened at Loew's Bijou for the last half of the week yesterday. The music of the instrumental quartet makes an appeal which cannot be ig- nored Stunts are performed by each Of the players, drummer, violinist, pianist and banjo player with their respective instruments. drawing forth hearty rounds of applause from every portion of the house It is overflowing with pep and an act that can be equally well appreci- Hated by everyone. The costumes are gorgeous and the setting is one of the
 most novel and fitting that has been seen here this season.
 Vieing in popularity. with the headline act, Mile. La Toys models do some wonderful posing acts which are out of the ordinary. From an artistic stand point Mile La Toy and her trained canines are a revelation.
 Lee Tong Foo. Chinese Harry Lauder" is undoubtedly the most comical Celestial ever seen in Birmingham His act is re- plete in witty backfires on his own state ments that prove to be as entertaining as his songs. His costumed imitation of Harry Lauder is a genuine scream Stuart. Don Court and Woods have good turn, well given, the trio being born entertainers, while Hael and OBrien have very clever bit of comedy singing.
 Ethel Clayton makes an instant hit in her new comedy, "The Man Hunt" one of the most enjoyable photoplays seen lately. The Loew's current events con- tinues to attract much attention on &C., count of the timely pictures of war
