JUDGMENT COMES DAILY

Fiercely Denounced.
EXCERPTS FROM DR. G LAD D EX'S
SERMOK.
"So Intent have the most of us been ,
upon the pursuit of gain that w
have 'given but slight attention to
the enactment and enforcement of
Just laws; and men have been, per
mitted, sometimes under the protec
tion of law and oftener In defiance of
It. to work stupendous schemes of
exploitation, by which the Industries
of a continent were laid under trib
ute for their enrichment."
The wealth which Is gotten by the
raiding of the public treasuries, by
the flagitious acts of frenzied finance
and "by the predatory combinations In
restraint of trade. Is wrung from the
earnings of the producing- classes."
"Providence has been pleased to rest
the world on a firmer basis than Is
supplied by the fleeting emotions of
philanthropy, viz., Self-interest."
"Judgment Days" was the subject
choson by Dr. Washington Gladden, the
noted Congregational minister of Colum
bus, O., for 'his sermon yesterday morn
ing at the Plrst Presbyterian Church.
While he did not refer directly to the sub
Jeot of "tainted money," he dealt with
the economic conditions o the country
and denounced in scathing terms the law
lessness, selfishness and arrogance dis
played by the wealthy classes of the coun
try. As a text for his discourse. Dr. Gladden
chose the parable of the judgment, when
the Bon of Man "shall set the sheep on
his right hand, but the goats on his left."
In part, he said:
Every Day Is Judgment Day.
"Such a judgment cannot be deferred
for 10 or 3D or 60 centuries; we cannot
Imagine it as beginning on some morning
and being concluded before night. It is
not true that the moral and spiritual laws
are suspended In their operations and
only brought into play now and then.
They are always In operation. The penal
ties annexed to them are the natural con
sequences of their violation, and they
follow naturally and immediately as every
effect follows its cause. Thus it is that
every day Is a judgment day.
"There are times of special judgment.
Such was the- day of the crucifixion. The
cause of Christ separated men one from
another; to the right and to the left they
went, drawn by the attraction or drawn
by the reaction within their own breasts.
Such judgment days have come more than
once in the generations following. The
trumpet of the reformation was such a
judgment day, bringing Into sharp con
flict the corruption of ecclesiasticism
with the simplicity that is In Christ. The
French Revolution was such a judgment
day, setting down-trodden humanity
against feudal oppression. Our own Civil
War was another judgment day, parting
men to the loft and to the right, for and
against the flag. I cannot evade the con
viction that we are listening to the trum
pet that ushers la another of these Judg
ment days.
"Stifling Selfishness."
"If it were only once to each man or
nation that that stern moment came! If
we could, once and for all, meet all our
crucial tests, pay all our reckonings, bal
ance our books, and be done with respon
sibility and obligation! But the truth is
that these Judgment days come more than
once to every man and nation. Just as
the oppressive heats and sultry languors
of the August days bring in the West the
thunder clouds, so the long season of
stifling selfishness, when the atmosphere
is thick with the vapors of greed and
covetousness are sure to be weather
breeders of a somewhat ominous charac
ter. Through such a season this Nation
baa been passing since the Civil War.
That episode In our National history was
not altogether propitious to the growth of
social virtues; great fortunes were sud
denly heaped up, and the unhealthy stim
ulation of Industries by the vast expendi
tures of the war tended to intensify the
passion for accumulation. The opening
of the great West by the continental rail
ways, the marvelous development of lands
and mines and machine industries, the gi
gantic combinations of capital have
brought with them such an era of ma
terial progress as the world has never
seen.
"Never since the dawn of civilization
has material wealth multiplied by leaps
and bounds as in this country during the
last four decades. Tht passion for accu
mulation, which always grows by what it
feeds on, has been more Intense and more
nearly universal in this period than ever
before. And there has been a steadily
growing disposition to make material suc
cess the principal thing; to subordinate
to gain the nobler virtues and finer, senti
ments; for the strong to push their
schemes of personal aggrandizement with
small regard for the interests of the
weak.
The Producer Pays.
"So intent have we been upon this pur
suit of gain that we have given but slight
attention to the enactment and enforce
ment of just laws; and men have been
permitted, sometimes under the cover of
law and oftener in defiance of it, to work
stupendous schemes of exploitation by
which the Industries of a continent were
laid under tribute for their enrichment
Out of their bountiful resources the peo
ple have permitted their officials to take
vast amounts in taxation, direct and in
direct: and these overflowing public treas
uries havo attracted armies of mercen
aries, who have fattened upon the spoils
of office and the gains of peculation. Now
it must be evident that the wealth which
is gotten by the raiding of the public
treasury, by the flagitious arts of frenzied
finance, and by the predatory combina
tions in restraint of trade, is wrung from
the earnings of the producing classes. It
is the common people, the hard-working
people, upon whom the load comes down
most heavily.
"The underlying trouble has been that
the fundamental assumptions respecting
the basis of human society were radically
wrong. It has been laid down as the
premise of all reasoning upon human con
duct that the first principle of action is
self-interest; that this is even the ordi
nance of the Creator. They did not per
ceive that the cause of the evil is human
nature itself, and that . Providence has
been pleaed to rest the world on. a. firmer
basis than is'oupplled by the fleeting emo
tions of philanthropy, vlz self-Interest.
Tho Crucial Test.
"We have come to the culmination of
one of tho periods, and the accumulated
selfishness of many decades is calling for
Judgment. We are getting some pretty
vivid expositions of selfishness these days,
but over against them is lifted up the
standard of unselfishness. People arc
beginning to confess that there is a bet
ter life than that of the grasper. Today
the trumpet Is sounding, and men must
go, whether they will or no, to the left
hand or to the right. Will you be the
center of your world and make it your
rule to get as much as you can and give
no more than you must? Or will you
Identify yourself with your kind and make
It your rule to share with all the rest the
best of all your gains? This is the one
crucial test that separates the sheep
from the goats. You cannot miss a bless
ing if you live for love and you cannot
evade a curse if you live for self alone.
This is the stern decree of every Judg
ment day."
CONTROL GOD WITH GIFTS
Dr. Gladden Says Frenzied Finan
ciers Are Overconfident.
Dr. Washington Gladden last night de
clared that the "frenzied financiers"
either believe there is no God or there is
an easy" God, whom they can fool by
their displays of charity.
Dr. Gladden spoke in the First Con
gregational Church upon the subject of
"Revivals." He took the position that
a great revival in the hearts of men is
the only remedy for the great social and
economic evils of the day. He believes
that such a revival would bring about
results, 'deep, and far-reaching, and sal
utary, and permanent." Dr. Gladden be
lieves that an awakening of the people
to a more genuine religious life is what
is needed, rather than the usual revival
meetings "held In a great hall, with a
large choir, much advertising and a
speaker who can play upon the emotions
of the people."
"We need a deeper religious feeling,"
he said. "Our religious exercises, through
the lack of serious thought, tend to be
come formal and lifeless; prayer become's
a mere routine; we do not really pray,
we say our prayers, and the only benefit
we get out of them Is a sense of relief
when they are ended.
"A revival of religion 1s in Its true
tense a restoration In the human souls
of the sense of the presence of God. It
Is a quickening of the languid pulse of
prayer. It is a kindling of the wishes
by which we lay hold on the spiritual
realities.
"There is need of a general awakening
of religious thought The intensity of
the strife for gain, which drives the
business world at a constantly accelerat
ing pace and puts Mammon on a throne
Tar above all other kingdoms; the rising
tide of luxury and display; above all the
astounding revelations which have been
made within the last year of conditions
in the political and financial realms all
Indicate a moral emergency In which some
stronger intervention Is demanded than
human expediency can contrive.
"Anyone who reads those narratives of
Mr. Stefnns. Miss.Tarbell, Mr. Lawson
and Mr. Russell must feel that we are
confronting a grave crisis. Men whose
operations are therein described are not
only utterly destitute of respect for law;
they are doing all they can to undermine
all law and to destroy the very founda
tion of the civil order. These men either
believe that there is no God or that
there Is a weak and foolish God, whom
they can cajole by their ostentatious gifts
to colleges and charities.
"If the hearts of the Christian people
were full of the sonse of God's presence
there would be an atmosphere in which
the boodler and the frenzied financier
could not breathe."
LOVE IS THE COMING OF GOD
Her. S. C. Lapham Tells of Its
Power.
Rev. S. C Lapham, of the Second Bap
tist Church, spoke last night on the topic,
"Falling in Love." and said in part:
"The purest love story ever written
begins with. 'And the soul of Jonathan
was knit with the soul of David, and
Jonathan loved him as his own soul.'
Two noble and brave men met and rec
ognized In each other those lofty quail
ties of manhood which made them broth
ers in affection and fidelity to ach other.
And the beautiful culmination of this
love are the words of the mourning Da
vid: 'Oh Jonathan my dead brother, I
am distressed for thee. Thy love to me
was wonderful.
"I have been In a crowd of true Amer
icans when at the name of the great and
gentle and brave Abraham Lincoln cheer
on cheer swept from the assembly. The
hearts of men leaped and thrilled at the
sound of his name. Men wiped the tears
from their faces, the touch of the finger
of God was upon them, as they gave pas
sionate homage to the dead hero of our
Nation- such as they would yield to no
living man. There Is that In a man you
cannot bury, which the earth cannot nold,
and the spirit of Lincoln marches down
tho years.
"Jonathan was dead. But he lives yet In
David's heart and after 3000 years that
love still speaks to us. and moves us and
appeals to the best in us.
"When you sneer at love you sneer at
God. The love of your country, your
friend, your child, your wife, are steps
nearer to God, for 'God is Love.' Love
casts out self. Love is the coming Into
your life of God. 'Love is the fulfilling of
the law.' More, love is the law of life,
for we obey love, not law or knowledge.
"Love was crucified for us. took our
tin and bore It on the cross as his own.
And the souls of men are knit to the
Christ and their hearts thrill at the men
tion of his name, and men say, 'O, Lord,
thy love to mo was wonderful.' "
THE CHURCH AND THE HOJIE
Rev. A. J. Montgomery Preaches on
Sanctity of tho Family.
"The church should stand for Christian
Culture, the moral education of the peo
ple, the sanctity of the home and the
preservation of the family relation that
holiest and highest relation of the human
family," remarked Rev. Andrew J. Mont
gomery yesterday morning in his sermon
in tho Third Presbyterian Church, while
speaking on "What the Church Should
Stand for In the Community." "For all
time the church has been the true foun
tain of Christian culture and education.
and from no other source can tho world
look for less attainments to the higher
life. The Bible h the textbook. Even now
the tendency Is to place tho Bible in the
public schools. The National Board of
Education Is considering the advisability
of having Bible stories prepared and
placed in the hands of school children.
The church phould take a Arm stand for
the preservation of the family, and
against the tendency to destroy the
beauty of the home life, and substitute
the community. The ease with which di
vorce is obtained In this country may
well alarm those who rtand for the uanc-
tlty of the home, and the churches should
not be ready to remarry divorced people
who havo been separated on grounds not
functioned by the scripture. We jnust
pave the home ana tho family and respon.
Biblllty of parentage. Again, the church
must stand for public virtue and civic
morality. Corruption in high places In
the Government and municipality is
alarming, and calls for the united action
of the church In upholding public moral
lty, not with a pessimistic, but with an
optimistic spirit"

BOXING HIS THEME
Rev. J. W. Brougher Preaches
on a" Novel Topic.
DENOUNCES PRIZEFIGHTING
Compares Christian to the Trained
Athlete, and Discusses Require
, jnents for His Success in
Warfare Against Sin.
Dr. J. Whit comb Brougher spoke on the
subject "Boxing and Prizefighting" last
night, and the White Temple was crowd
ed to the doors to hear a sermon on this
unusual but timely theme. He chose his
text from the first chapter of I Corinthi
ans, "I am a boxer who does, not inflict
blows on the air, but I hit hard and
straight" He said in part:
"In this text Paul Is drawing an illus
tration from the boxing contests of his
day. There is a difference between box
ing' and prizefighting. When boxing Is
properly regulated and the contestants
can keep their tempers it is good exer
cise. There is danger, however, that it
may lead to the prizefight, in favor of
which nothing can be said. The brutal
and (disgusting contest that took place in
San Francisco last week between two
small men of great physical strength has
been justly denounced by the pulpit and
the best newspapers. Nevertheless, the
history of the human race shows that
there has always been great honor placed
upon strength and skill. The glory of
a young man is his strength,' and the
New Testament writers often draw their
most effective illustrations from the ath
letic contests of their time.
"Paul looked upon the Christian life as
a fight His illustrations were in har
mony with this idea. He was thoroughly
acquainted with the Olympic games. The
preparatory exercises for these National
contests extended over a period of ten
months. Rules for the contest were laid
down, and any infringement of them in
volved the loss of the prize. The Judge
was selected for his integrity and he de
cided all disputes. The winner received
a prize consisting of a wreath of olive
leaves, and, although perishable, it was
always regarded with great honor. Paul
says that as a Christian, he did not box
or fight as one that beateth the air. He
urges all Christians in the conflict with
evil to hit straight and give the enemy
a black eye. and to put forth sufficient
effort to win an Imperishable crown. Let
us notice three things in Christian prize
fighting. Training.
"First The preparation for the fight
Paul says, 'every man that strlveth for
the mastery is temperate in all things.
The training that the ancient athlete went
through was methodical and severe. His
diet was regulated with a view to Increas
ing to. the utmost his strength and activ
ity. The same preparation by the prize
fighter is cheerfully endured today. They
bring themselves into absolute subjection
that they may gain the strength and skill
necessary to win the fight Every time a
slugger goes into training ho shows It is
possible for mind to triumph over matter
and for spirit to subdue the flesh. The
difficulty Is thati!s spiritual life Is not
equally developed with bis physical. If
it were, he would not be willing to use
his great physical strength simply to
bruise his opponent's face, smash his
nose, break his ribs, pound his flesh Into
a Jelly, and knock him out If not kill
him Just for sport He would put his
great physical energy to some higher and
nobler use. It would be consecrated to
the service of his fellow men. The Chris
tian should seek physical, mental and
spiritual development that will best fit
him to serve his day and generation.
He should be in training all the time.
One debauch will offset a year's sober-;
ncss." One case of dishonesty will destroy
a whole life of honesty. One unchristian
act may spoil the whole Influence of a
man for good.
"Second The fight Paul speaks of
his conflict with his body. The body here
refers, no doubt to the carnal, selfish
nature. When a man's appetites, passions
and desires refuse to obey his will, and
to Eerve his higher nature, then the fight
Is on. Paul declared that he gave his
carnal nature a black eye. He beat It
black and blue. He hit It square In the
face and knocked it out He brought It
into subjection to his higher nature and
made It his slave, as the winner in some
of the games had the right to make his
defeated enemy his slave. Every desire,
every impulse, every appetite, every pas
sion, should be brought under the guid
ance of a pure conscience and the con
trol of a strong will.
Self-Control Required.
"In the great contest between the high
er and the lower nature, a man must
throw his whole power with the higher,
or lose out in the battle of life. He must
have control of his body.- He must be
quick of decision, he must be hopeful,
and then, with untiring earnestness, by
the help of God. resist the evil and choose
the good.
"Last of all. what Is the reward for
such a fight? The ancient pugilist re
ceived a perishable crown of olive leaves;
the modern pugilist wins several thousand
dollars: the Christian fighter has the re
ward of a well developed body, mind and
60ul, the approval of a clear conscience,
and, finally, 'a crown of righteousness
that will never fade away.' "
CENTRAL BAPTIST DEDICATION
Congregation Raises Over $1000
During the Day.
The Central Baptist Church, on the
corner of East Ankeny and Twentieth
streets, was dedicated yesterday in the
three services held under promising aus
pices and raised nearly J1200 during the
day. At the closing services last night

Christian Church, and Rev. Henry E.
Barden, department chaplain of tho G.
A. IL, assisted.
Dr. Brougher spoke briefly on the topic
"Why We Erect Churches and What
They Stand For." First he offered a
word of warmest congratulation to the
members of Central Church on the com
pletion and erection of so beautiful and
sensible a house of worship and manse.
"Portland," he said, "has a great fu
ture and in five years may have 300.000
people. We sometimes think we have
too many churches, hut I am sure that
there Is room hero In this city for this
and other churches, and the Central Bap
tist Church can do useful work for Jesus
Christ without Interfering with other
churches. Why. If half the people at
tended church services, they could not
be accommodated. You have a most
beautiful church. Tou have Just begun
your work."
.Dr. Brougher then delivered an effec
tive sermon on his topic, showing why
churches are erected and what they stand
for In every community in the general
betterment of the human family. At the
conclusion of the sermon. Dr. Srouzher.
IwiUt th asdetanoe of the pwtar zxii th.
trustees, raised something over J1CCO to
meet payments on the furniture. In the
evening this amount was Increased. Last
night Rev. Leonard W. Riley preached
and gave the dedicatory prayer.
Central Baptist Church was organized
two and a half years ego, with Rev, Wil
liam E. Randall as pastor, without prop
erty, and now has a handsome new
church and manse valued at 512,000 in the
midst of a growing resident district. The
auditorium with the lecture-room will
seat about 600 people. The interior finish
ing is elegant and tasteful, the pews be
ing of beautiful hardwood and the car
pet of rich color. Ground has been se
cured on the west of the church for the
organ loft and class rooms. Beside the
auditorium there Is an ample Sunday
School and lecture-room. There are also
a kitchen and parlors. The manse faces
East Twentieth street and is convenient
to the church.
Dr. Randall in his address to the peo
ple and the public on completion of the
church, closed with these words:
"Many hopes consummate today. For
Central Church and our many friends the
occasion Is a time of rejoicing. Two and
one-half years of church history are
chapters of delightsome fellowship and
divine favor. Not one discordant note
has marred the music of fraternity.
"Our church is now in a position to
render valuable service to the growing
community. The doors will ever open
to the lightest touch of the humblest
man, woman or child. Welcome is woven
Into the fiber of our fellowship. We ex
tend a hearty invitation to a continuous
enjoyment of all the services and priv
ileges of it fraternal church."
Swedish Baptists Dedicate Church.
Swedish Baptists yesterday dedicated
their new church at Fifteenth and Hoyt
streets with appropriate services. The
three meetings held were attended by
large congregations, and several pastors
of other churches were present to join
with the members in their services. All
the exercises of the day were carried on
Jn the Swedish tongue.
The dedicatory sermon was delivered at
the morning meeting by Dr. Frank Peter
son, of Minneapolis, Minn. The same
speaker occupied the pulpit In the after
noon, choosing "Benevolence" for the
theme of his discourse. Other visiting
pastors who were present and spoke brief
ly, congratulating the members on their
new edifice, were: C. J. Renhard, of the
Swedish Lutheran Church, Theodore Gus
tafson. of the Swedish Mission, and Rev.
Mr. Moody, of the Swedish Methodist
Church. In the evening, sermons were
delivered by Rev. Petrus Swartz and Rev.
Erik Rosen, both of Chicago.
The church has 163 members, who have
raised the money for the new $12,500 build
ing without asking any outside help. It
is not entirely paid for, but enough has
been subscribed to meet all present needs.
The fund was Increased nearly $1500 by
subscriptions made at the meeting yes
terday afternoon. There is no regular
pastor at present Rev. G. A. Hugg'erth.
who had charge of the church, resigned
one month ago because of illness.
Preacher Argues for Socialism.
Rev. J. W. Wells preached upon the
subject of "Socialism, the Fulfillment of
Prophecy," yesterday afternoon at Drew
Hall to a good-sized audience, quoting lib.
orally from the Bible In support of his
ideas. He contended altx that the Gov
ernment reports for 1S03 demonstrated
that 81 per cent of the families In the
United States were homeless, showing a
heavy increase, as the reports for 1500
Indicated that only 53 per cent were In
that position. According to Mr. Wells,
socialism would make It possible for
every man to have a home of his own, or
at least a dwelling1 place without rent, in
terest or taxes.

PIRATES STEAL
THE HELLO BILL
Big Gasoline Launch Burned in
Attempt to Cut Out
Her Engines.
RIVER THIEVES ARE FOILED
Vessel Badly .Injured, ITowcvcr, by
Vandals' and Fire Before 'Shel.
Abandoned Many Thefts
Along-Waterfrbnt.
River thieves, who In times past have
left a trail of sorrowing' denizens of the
waterfront in the wake of their opera
tions, are again plying their nefarious vo
cation. Saturday night the launch Hello
Bill was stolen from its moorings at the
foot of Stark street taken down the
Willamette to a point on the shore of
Sauvle's Island and there wrecked in an
attempt to dismantle the machinery and
remove the powerful gasoline engine with
which the craft was equipped. The
wrecked boat was found yesterday after
noon, its condition bearing mute evidence
of the method adopted by its nocturnal
destroyers.
In removing the gasoline tank from Its
place the connections were severed and
a quantity of the gasoline was spilled in
the bottom of the craft Evidently the
operators were deficient In tools for pur
suing their labors, and had difficulty In
devising a way to remove the engine and
disconnect the main shaft In lieu of
tools it was decided to cut away the back
end of the trim little river boat that has
carried many pleasure-seekers during the
last season.
Boat Catches Fire. ""'
This work was progressing with consid
erable dispatch until the woodwork had
been cut almost to the water line. Then
the gasoline In the bottom of the boat
became Ignited, probably from the lan
terns or torches by which the men were
performing their criminal labor. The fire
burned the launch to the water line, and
the wreck was hastily deserted In Its bad
ly damaged state In the shallows of the
slough, where It was discovered yester
day afternoon by "Big Bill" Shaefer, of
the launch Shaefer.
The Hello Bill has been familiar to fre
quenters of the waterfront during the
present Summer, being a rather large
boat, with capacity for a score of passen
gers. It was distinguished In daylight by
Its bright clean red color. During the pe
riod the warships lay In the harbor It
was operated by two young men, who
placed It In service on the river and
handled a lucrative traffic
Many of the river craft have been placed
In boathouses and docks for the Winter,
but the launches that tie up at the public
dock at the foot of Stark street are with
out protection of any guard or watchman.
This was the point from which the Hello
Bill was taken Saturday night so that its
departure was unnoticed, and no knowl
edge had of Its seizure by the pirates of
the river until the discovery of the wreck
on the shore of Sauvle's Island was, re
ported. One of the owners was notified
land, promptly proceeded down to that
point last night, m tne nope or preventing
the complete loss of the boat by sinking
or through further operations of tho cul
prits who took it from the public dock.
Many Recent Thefts.
Recently there have been repeated
thefts of tools, anchors, lights and other
paraphernalia of launches and river craft,
and the completeness with which such
articles disappear Is ever among the mys
teries of river life. Only a short time
ago one of the nattiest launches on the
river was stripped of valuable furnishings
and equipment while anchored beside a
boathouse. and no trace of the missing
articles has since been found.
These offenses are generally charged by
people of the water front to professional
pirates of the rivers, who conceal their
operations behind some assumed occupa
tion, frequently that of fishermen, and
have secret rendezvous in some of the
many swamps and sloughs along the riv
ers, in whlqh articles may be concealed
for years, safe from the most minute
search that might bo made. Usually the
material thus acquired Is defaced of any
marks that might Identify it and after
wards exchanged or otherwise disposed of.
Strenuous efforts have been made to cap
ture the river pirates In the act of com
mitting some of their crimes, but with
little success In the past United dili
gence of owners of river craft may bring
some of tho daring operators to book.

A TRULYJDEAL WIFE
HER HUSBAND'S BEST HELPER
Vigorous Health Is the Great Source of
the Powar to Inspiro and Encourage
-All Women Should Seek It.
One of the most noted, successful and
richest men of this century, in a recent
article, has said, " Whatever I am and
whatever success I havo attained in
this world I owe all to my wife. From
the day I first knew her she has been
an inspiration, and the greatest help
mate of my life.'
To he such a successful wife, to re
tain the love and admiration of her
husband, to inspire him to make the
most of himself, should be a woman's
constant study.
If a woman finds that her energies
are flagging, that she gets easily tired,
dark shadows appear under her eyes,
she has backache, headaches, bearing
down pains, nervousness, whites, irreg
ularities or the blues, she should, start
at once to build up her system by a
tonic with specific powers, such as
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Following we publish by request a
letter from a young wife -Dear
Mrs . Pink nam ;
" Ever since my child was born I have suf
fered, as I hope few women ever hate, with in
flammation, femalo weakness, bearing-down
pains, backache and wretched headaches. It
affected my stomach so I could not enjoy my
meals, and half my time was spent in bed.
" Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
made me a well woman, and I feel to grateful
that I am glad to write and tell you of my
marvelous recovery. It brought me health,
new lire and vitality. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley.
611 South 10th Street, Tacoma, Wash.
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will
do for every sick and ailing woman.
If you have symptoms you don't un
derstand write to Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. Her advice is free and
always helpful.

How Is
YourHeart?
Is your pulse weak, too slow,
too fast, or does it skip a beat?
Do you have shortness of
breath, weak or hungry spells,
fainting-, smothering or choking
spells, palpitation, fluttering,
pains around the heart, in side
and shoulder; or hurt when
lying on left side?
If you have any of these
symptoms your heart is weak
or diseased, and cannot get
better without assistance.
Dr. Miles' Heart Cure
strengthens weak hearts, and
rarely ever fails to cure heart
disease. Try it, and see how
quickly you will find relief.
"About Jannary 1st, 1803, I too
flown, with weakness and dropsy,
and gradually crow worse. I was told
by my family physician that my casa
was hopeless, iiy neighbors and fam
ily had given me up to die. My
limbs and body wero swollen to ona
third larsrer than normal size,, and
water haq collected around my heart.
For at least three months X had to sit
propped up in bed to keep from smoth
ering. I sent for five botUes of Dr.
Miles' Heart Cure, and by the time I
had taken them all I was entirely.,
cured. I feel better than I have, for
twenty -years, and I am able .to do
any kind of work on my faro. My
attending physician told methat if It
hadn't been for Dr. Mlleai- Heart Cura
I would now bo In my grrare."
