A Good Hearted Man, ; or in other words, men with good sound hearts, are not very “"Wumerous. The increasing number of sudden deaths from heart disease daily chron- f 1 I icied by the £ Ajh press, is proof JErCn, of the alarm- < ing prcvalence of this dangerous complaint, and as no one Sy' a’ can foretell Ml just when a fatal collapse J - A - Kreamer. •will occur, the danger of neglecting treatment is certainly a very risky matter. If you are short of breath, have pain in left side, smothering spells, palpitation, unable to lie on side, especially the left, you should begin tcking M?ie»’ Heart Cure. J. A. Kreamer of Arkansas City, Kans., says: “My heart was so bad it was impossible for me to lie down, and I could neither sleep nor rest My decline was rapid, and I realized I must get help soon. I was advised to try Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure, which 1 did, and candidly believe it saved my life.” Dr. Mlles' Remedies are sold by all druggists on guarantee.

Dysentery Cured Without the Aid of a Doctor.

‘ I am just up from a hard spell of the flux” (dysentery) says Mr. T. A. Pinner, a well known merchant of Durmmond, Tenn. "I used one small bottle of Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and was cured w ithout having a doctor. I consider it the best cholera medicine in the world.” There is no need of employin,? a doctor when this remedy is used, for no doctor can prescribe a better medicine for bowel complaintin any form either for children or adults. It never fails and is pleasant to take. For sale by A. F. Long.

Two new subscribers—one at Rensselaer and one at Sharon have been added to The Democrat’s list this week, even though it has been a dull week. The people appreciate a paper that prints the news without fear or favor and dares to speak out against wrong-doing no matter how highly entrenched it may be. \\ hile a little courage in persisting in this policy may lose it a few pennies from those who are always looking for an opportunity to “work’’ the dear people for their own personal gain, it means dollars from those who believe in that good old democratic doctrine of “equal justice to all and special privileges to none.” rsL’he first new oats to be delivered to Babcock & Hopkins’ Rensselaer elevator came in Saturday. G. B. Lewis of near Vai ma. hauled the first and Andy Ropp the second. The oal» are quite green and damp as yet anil badly off color, so that it is impossible to say how they will weigh out at this time or will test a little later.' The oats now being marketed are run through the bleacher and come out with good color. Messers. Babcock & Hopkins have an advantage over other grain buyers by reason of having one (there are but three in the entire state) of these bleachers, and grain that otherwise would bring but a very meager price can be made to pass muster by running them through this machiqe.
