wiTH HEART TROUBLE.
Through one cause or otbsr a large ma-
jority of people are troubled with mate
fortis of heart trouble. but do not know A.
When the heart becomes affected there
ensues a feeling of a choking sensation,
the breath becomes so short st is bard to
breathe and you feel se if you were
smothering, you become weak and dizzy,
the heart palpitates, throbs and beats
irregularly.
On the first sign of the heart be-
coming weakened you will find• that a
few, boxes of Millrarn's Heart and Nerve
Pills will strengthen and invigorate
it so that it beats strong and regular,
and the lost vitality is replaced by
vigor and energy,
Mr, Stephen Crouse, East Clifford,
N,S., writes:—"I suffered for five genre
with heart trouble. I could hardly walk
to the barn without resting I used to
get so short of breath: The doctors
could not help me. My wife told me
about Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills.
1 got n box and felt better; three boxes
made me quite well. I am now helping
my eon work the farm; and can truth-
fully say 1 feel like a different man.
1 can highly recommend your pills to
any one who has a weak heart." •
