weak heart. Palpitation, imotherine spells,
swelling of feet or ankles, pain in and around
heart; oftentimes affections of the stomach,
lungs, liver, bladder, kidneys, etc, arise from
heart weakness. A weak heart must be
helped. It cannot stop to rest It must be
strengthened and regulated. The blood must
be enriched, the heart nerves strengthened
and the circulation improved by the great
heart and blood tonic. Dr. Miles Heart
Cure. There is positively nothing to equal
this wonderful medicine in its beneficial
influence upon hearts weakened from any
cause.
"I am Terr grateful for what Dr. Miles
I leart Cure nas done for me, as I am confi
dent I would not be alive today had I not
- arned ot its wonderful virtues and taken it
before it was too late. I had been a sufferer
from valvular heart disea-e for many years,
in fact ever since I was a little girl and for
tiiree years before I began using J leart Cure
I was in very bad shape. I could not sleep
on rev left ide at all and would frequently
have the moot dreadful smothering spells.
At times my left side would swell up. I had
p in in my head all the time from which I
i.iferrd rreatly. Nothing I took did me

! BIG TIMBER TRANSFER ;
Mrs. M. E. Hailock Sells Two Thous
and Acres of Land to Eastern
i Firm.
' A deal has been consummated
whereby Mrs. M. E. Hailock has
sold to Minnesota parties 2000 acres .
of timber land on the LaCreole
river about six miles above Dallas. :
Rumors of a possible sale of the
Hailock lands, which comprise one
of the largest tracts of standing
timber held by a single owner in
Polk county, have been in the air
for many months, and it was known
that many Eastern capitalists had
been negotiating for their purchase.
The men who have purchased this
land are experienced sawmill men,;
and have capital sufficient to enable
them to carry out any enterprise
they may undertake.
Messrs. Fuller & Lacey, who
were instrumental in making this
sale, are not at present prepared to
say what the company will con
clude to do in the way 'of putting
in a milling plant, but it is hoped
that the purchasers will be able to
secure a sufficient amount of the
first-clas timber tt jbutary to, the
LaCreole river to justify them in
putting in one of the largest mills
on the Pacific Coast at Dallas.
