Lost The Use of Arm. Heart Trouble. Could Not Eat, Sleep or Walk. Dr. Miles* Heart Cure Cured Entirely. “If it hadn’t been for Dr. Miles’ Remedies I would not be here to write this letter. Two years ago last June I lost the use of nay Isft arm, could not use it and could only more it with the help of my right hand. My heart was so weak I could not sieep nights for smothering spells. I was out of sorts all over and could eat nothing. I grew so weak that I could not walk without staggering like a drunken man and my home doctor said he could do nothing for me. 1 was in so much pain I was almost wild. I could not take morphine nor opium as they made me warse. So I got to thinking about Dr. Miles’ Haart Cure and Nervine and the more I thought about it the more I waated to try them. I wrote to the Dr. Miles M.dical Co. for advice which I followed to the Utter. I can say today that I am glad I did as 1 am a well woman now; can work aad can walk two or three miles and not mind it 1 can also use my arm again as well as ever. You do not know how thankful I am for these grand medicines Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure and Nervine. I think Dr. Miles’ Remedies are the best in the world, aad if I should get sick again I should take Use same course, i The remedies also helped my daughter Vida »o wonderfully that I should have written ; you before to thank you, but I wanted to be 'sure that the cure was permanent, which I now know to be the case."—Mrs. Frank Loomis, Allen, Mich. , All druggists sell and guarantee first bottle Dr. Miles’ Remedies. Send fer free book on Nervous add Heart Diseases. Address Dr. Miles Medical Co. f Elkhart, Ind, A GOOD THING. German Syrup is the special prescription of Dr. A.

It quickly cures Coughs, Colds and all Lung tumbles of th* severest nature, removing, as It does, the cause of the affection and leaving the parts In a strong and healthy condition. It is not an experimental medicine, but haa stood the test of years, giving satisfaction in •-very case, which Its rapidly increasing sale very season confirms. Two million bottles s !d annually, Hoachee's German Syrup was introduced in the United States in 1868, and is now sold in every town and village in the civilized world.

Baughman A Williams. Attys. and Loan Agents. Rensselaer, Ind. Tendency of the Times. The tendency of medical science is toward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. It is easier and better to prevent than to cure, It has been fully demonstrated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip), and It has been observed that this remedy counteracts any tendency of these diseases toward pneumonia. This has been fully proven in many thousands of cases In which this remedy has been used during the great prevalence of colds and grip in recent years, and can be relied upon with Implicit confidence. Pneumonia often results from a slight cold when no danger is apprehended until it la suddenly discovered that there Is fever and difficulty in breathing and pains (n the chest, then It is announced that the patient has pneumonia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's Cough Remtdy as soon as the cold is contracted. It always cures. For Sale by A. F. Long. ADVERTISED LETTERS. C. B. Wells, Mrs. H. W.

Worse than an alarm of fire nt night is the brassy cough of croup, which sounds like the children’s death knell, and it means death unless something is done quickly. Foley's Honey and Tar never falls to give instant relief and quickly cures the worst forms of croup, Mrs. I*. L. Cordier of Manntngton, Ky., writes: "Mythree year old girl had a severe-case of croup; the doctor said she could not live. I got a bottle of Foley'a Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick relief and saved her life." Refuse substitutes, Sold by A. F. Long.
