T. McGown, Cooperstown, N. built a bouse ip '85 and painted Devoe. The paint-Jasted ten years. A year or two later, a neighbor built a house painted it lead and oil.

The neighbor's house was repainted twice in the same time. This looks as if the neighbor's house was painted three times in eight or nine years, and McGown's once in ten years. We are not quite sure we tell the tale as it comes to U3. It is enough to say that Devce Lead and Zinc lasts twice as long as lead and oil alone. The reason is white lead is soft and chalks off zinc is hard and, when thoroughly ground into tha lead, prevents its chalking and makes it more durable.

Barnes. Almost Unnerved Me Heart Pains. Short of Breath, Faint and Languid. Br.Miles'Heart Cure and Nervine Cured Me. "It has been five years since I was cured of heart trouble by your Heart Cure and Nervine, and I am just as sound as a dollar in that organ today.

For several years I had been suffering with my heart. Breathing had become short and difficult at times, short, sharp pains -about the heart, sometimes accompanied with fluttering would make me feel faint and languid. The least excitement or mental worry would almost unnerve me. I felt that the trouble was growing worse all the time, and after trying many remedies prescribed by physicians without obtaining relief, I was induced to give your remedies a trial. I was relieved the second day, and after taking three or four bottles all symptoms were removed and have never showed signs of returning." Rev.

Geo. W. Kiracope, Chincoteague, Va. There are many symptoms of heart disease, which so closely resemble those of more common nervous disorders as to frequently mislead the attending physician. Often in cases of heart trouble the stomach, kidneys, liver or lungs become affected.

Again the symptoms may be those of weakened nerves, as tired feeling, sleeplessness, timidity, the patient is easily excitable and apt to worry without cause. If you have the least suspicion that your heart is weak study your symptoms and begin the use of Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, the great heart and blood tonic, without a day's delay.
