A State of Health That Needs Prompt
Treatment to Ward Off
Serious Disease.
Do you notice a large reduction in
your vital energy? Are you losing hold
on your place in the social world? Is
your strength gone, constitution weak,
ippetite poor, digestion deranged, bow
sis costive, with uneasiness and symp
toms of derangement in the region of
:he kidneys? Such a condition is tha
preliminary to Bright’s Disease or some
other serious kidney trouble. If this
iescribes the state of your body, we urge
upon you prompt action befAe your
health is entirely beyond recovery.
Prickly Ash Bitters is the remedy you
need; it has a four-fold restorative effect.
It stimulates the torpid liver, restores
health in the stomach, strengthens and
:ures the kidneys, and through its
peculiar yet agreeable laxative char
icter it clinches the good work by thor
oughly cleansing the bowels. It is a
certain remedy for kidney and liver
diseases.
Accept no substitute. Insist on having
the genuine Prickly Ash Bitters with the
1arge figure 3 in red on the front label.

To find out for a certainty
whether or not your heart is
affected. One person in four
has a weak heart; it may be
you. If so, you should know
it now, and save serious con
sequences. If you have short
breath, fluttering, palpitation,
hungry spells, hot flushes; if
you cannot lie on left side; if
you have fainting or smother
ing spells, pain around heart,
in side and arms, your heart is
weak, and perhaps diseased.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure will re
lieve you. Try a bottle, and
see how quickly your condition
will irrfprove.
‘ About a year ago I wrote to the
Miles Medical Co., asking advice, as I
was suffering with heart trouble, and
had been for two years. I had pain
in my heart, back and left side, and
had not been able to draw a deep
open Republican with fine busi
ness capability and a clean repu
tation and his popularity is at-1
tested in the number of friends
who are pushing his cause.'
