J. “I gladly testify to the following facts: I have been a very great sufferer for the last five years with troubles of the Lumgs and kid- meys and the worst stage of Dyspepsia. I could scarcely eat anything because of the in- tense pain in my stomach. I was also at one time covered with salt rheum, and my cough weakened me so that I could scarcely walk, I had several attacks of bleeding at the lungs. My breath became so short that I was unable to work and was obliged to give up my business, which ts that of a mason. I could not even walk about much. So I kept going from bad to worse. I then had an attack of the shingles, which, with all my other complaints, confined me to my room for three months and Nearly Took Away My Life. I had heard of Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a good Medicine, so I bought a bottle. When I had taken it, I found it had done me some good, so I continued till I had taken three bottles. .Iim- proved so rapidly that I could walk out of agers, and have steadily gained till I am at work again and use my hammer and trowel once Hood’s =: Cures More.

The Times is glad to learn| of Bishop's good fortune. J. L. Shelton, postmaster elect of Windsor Mo, spent Monday in this city and while here paid his respects to Congressman DeArmond and the | booming Trsres.

Her sickness was caused from a severe case of ‘grippe contracted about nine months ago, since which time she has been con- fined to her bed.

At present a force of men are being worked just this side of the Miami river and heretofore bad marshy places are being macadamized. This is proper way to put the roads in condition and money thus spent will do good. If other boards in the county would follow the exam- pie of this one in the way of build- ing culverts and repairing bad places, the roads in the county would soon be in good shape. Heart Failure. How ro 4¥oIp IT. The epitaph on- many a tombstone is “heart failure.” No wonder, when we con- sider the immense strain which is put on that smallorgan. Marvelous as it is, beating 100,000 times and exerting a force equal tu 5,184,000 pounds daily, it has its Jimit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So common are diseases of the heart—thov; j often for a considerable time without t! suspicions of the afflicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that” one person sped has a bad heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind. bas for years made diseases the heart, a ope study of all | and his remarkable success has made his name a familiar one in all parts of our land. He has found the most common symptom= of heart ae rage in, distress or tender- ness in the chest, stomach, bowels, shoulder and arm, shortness of breath, sae ing spells, ‘fainting, ete. x Mr. Geo: Smith, of Barnes, Yates oe N. writes: “De Mite’ New EART CURE wor! wonderfully on mind and body s9 I eandoa day's work.
