will appeal to all classes of thea
tre goers. The play tells of the
steadfast and supreme love of an
honest young workingman for a
girl who is the daughter of a
wealthy iron founder, and of
their sufferings after their mar
riage through the persecution of
a heartless scoundrel, who was
made a junior partner in the
firm by the girl’s father, and
who secures his partner’s wealth
by means of trickery and fraud,
and who is himself in love with
the young woman. A more des
picable villian was never con
ceived by a dramatist than Mel
vin Thornton, and the part is so
well played by Mr. Harry Bern
ard, that he is greeted with aj
terrific storm of hisses at every j
performance. Manager Ward j
has made a superb production of
‘‘A Human Slave,” and the
scenic equipment will equal, if
not surpass, that of any attrac
tion playing at the opera house
this season.

"I had been a great sufferer for
15 years. At the time I commenced
taking Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure I had
been confined to my bed for four
months. 1 bad frequent sinking spells. J
sometimes as many as three in a day. M
during which my heart would seem V
to stop heating, necessitating the call- T
ing of a physician to resuscitate me. f
Before finishing the first bottle the
sinking spells had ceased, and I took
altogether five bottles for a complete
cure. I now enjoy perfect health, arid
am very grateful for this wonderful
medicine, for it is the means of my
being with mv family now.”
