HEART WAS BAD
WOULD WAKEN UP
IN DISTRESS.
,
There is nothing that brings with it
such fear of impending death as to wake
up in the night with the heart pounding
and thumping; This uncertain and ir-
regular heart action causes the greatest
distress of both mind and body.
Milburn's Heart and Nerve Pills
strengthen and invigorate the heart,, so
that it beats straw and regular,- and
tone up the nervous system so that the
cause of so much anxiety becomes a
thing of the past:
Mr. Archie Beaumont, Edgett's Land-
ing, N.B., writes :—"Have been bothered
with my heart and nerves for about six
years, caused by overwork and worry.
My heart was so bad I would waken up
enveral times during the night in great
distress, and my heart thumping. About
a year ago I took three boxes of Mil -
burn's Heart and Nerve Pine, and they
helped me a (neat deal." _

Andrew Sanderson, a farmer in the
township of York, took ai load of hay -
one autumn to Toronto to sell in the
-open market. Finding no sale, and
unwilling to take the load back with
hnn over very heavy roads, he offered
it to the-prenrietor of ElgiR
n's otel
in Yorige Street on very easy terms.
The hotel keeper could ill spare the
cash, and after some bargaining he
offered Sanderson in payment for the
hay the vacant lot on the north-east
corner of streets,,
Xing and Yonge seets,
-which Sanderson reluetantly aeeepted.
That lot was sold not long ag4 for
$1,250,000.
