The commonest symptom* of dys- pepsia or nerve trouble, such u pal- pitation, weak spells, low ot appe- tite, and poor circulation, are magni- fied aad distort jsi into serious ugns of heart trouble, with the object of frightening th* public into taking this or that heart remedy. If a hundredth part of the heart trouble we hear about were real, the ceme- teries would be filled in month. A wrong construction is put upon com- mon ailments in order to humbug the people into the belief that heart disease is prevalent, whereas real heart trouble, which is so sadly and suddenly fatal when it does occur, is a rare disease. Lopsided arguments cannot convince an intelligent people. Iron is the vital element of the blood. Too little iron means weakness, lack of spirit, pallid cheeks, shortness of breath, sleeplessness, nervousness, loss of vital force, ending in general break-down. The iron in Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills is in the solu- ble form you need, in combination with other curative agents in such a manner that disease can't resist their action. You feel yourself getting well when you take Dr. Ward's Blood and Nerve Pills. BO- p.rl.01.
