Heart Disease Almost
Fatal to Young Girl
"My daughter, when thirteen years
old, was stricken with heart trouble.
She was so bad we had to place her
bed near a window
§so she could get
her breath. One
doctor said, 'Poor
child, she is likely
to fall dead any
time.* A friend
told me Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy had
cured her father,
so I tried it, and
day, a fat, rosy
cheeked girl. No one can imagine the
confidence I have in Dr. Miles' Heart
Remedy.'' A. R. CANON, Worth, Mo.
The unbounded confidence Mr.
Canon, has in Dr. Miles' Heart Rem
edy is shared by thousands of
others who know its value from
experience. Many heart disorders
yield to treatment, if the treatment
is right. If you are bothered with
short breath, fainting spells, swell
ing of feet or ankles, pains about
the heart and shoulder blades, pal
pitation, weak and hungry spells,
you should begin using Dr. Miles'
Heart Remedy at once. Profit by
the experience of others while you
may.

Yellow Jackets Held Steeply '
A contractor and three carpenters
were painfully stung when they
climbed to the top of the First Bap
tist church, in New Castle, Del., re
cently, to make repairs to the roofs.
Thousands of yellow jackets had naude
their home in the belfry, and they re
sented the intrusion and drove the
men to the ground. One of the men*
made his way to the belfry and with
tar paper closed all fexits by which the
insects could escape. Then he placed
Four sulphur candles under the cupola
and lighted them. After the candle?
aad burned out enough dead insects
were found to fill a peach basket to
overflowing, and the carpenters then
resumed work on the church roof.
