Since then it has been steadily decreasing in defiance of the financiering of President Har- rison and his advisers and the prob lem of meeting aud checking this was one of the bequests of Mr. Fos- ter to Mr. Carlisle. It is something worse than absurd to hold the pres ent administration responsible for the present Treasury crisis?—K_ C. Star. Windsor merhants are of the right kind. They are enterprising and pro- gressive ina marked degree as is thown by the fact that they have subscribed for 1,0U0 copies of the Review and paid for the papers for a period of six months. The mercbants are distributing 1,000 copies weekly for the purpose of advertising the town. This is the kind of work that tells. It will prove as bread cast on the waters and can be depended up- on to return to them ten fold within the next year or two.—Sedalia Dem- ocrat. This stroke of enterprise among the business men of Windsor shows a determination to push their trade and advance their interests. If the merchants in Butler would like to adopt a plau of this kind the Times will meet them ka'f way. We fee! satisfiel it will be bread cast on th+ waters. A merchant may carry a Liz stock of goods but if he fails to let the world know it in this age of push and scramble for trade he will die before the people find out he is in business.

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 to 5,184,000 pounds daily, it has its limit—its endurance often is too severely tested. So common are diseases of the heart—though often for a considerable time without the suspicions of the afflicted person being in the least excited—that it is stated that one peas tn four has a bad heart! Dr. Franklin Miles, of Elkhart, Ind., has for years made a special study of all diseases of the heart, and his remarkable success has made his name a familiar one in all parts of our land. He has found the most common symptoms of heart disease to be pain, distress or tender- ness in the chest, back, stomach, bowels, left shoulder and arm, shortness of breath, smother- tng spells, fainting, ete. Mr. George R. Smith, of Barnes, Yates Co. N. Y., writes: —“Dr. Mites’ New Heart Cure has worked wonderfully on mind and body so I can do a good day's work. I feel ten years younger and take more interest in affairs. I had shortness of breath, palpi- tation, pain under left shoulder blade, pain | around the heart, I could not sleep on my right side. Since I have taken Dr. Miles’ New Heart Cure I sleep well, and have no paipita- tion. It has made my heart stronger. I wish you would print this, because I want all to know what Dr. Miles’ Heart Cure has done for me.” “For months my wife suffered with palpi- | tation, smothering spells, and was unable to sleep on her left side. She tried several doctors without relief. Your Heart Cure was recommended. After taking three bottles, she fully recovered her health. Your medicines do what you claim.”—Cxas.
