Weak
Hearts
Are due to indigestion Ninety nine of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when it was simple indiges
tion It is a scientific fact that all cases of
heart disease not organic are not only
traceable to but are the direct result of indi
gestion All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
Bwells the stomach puffing it up against the
heart This interferes with the action of
the heart and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased
Mr D Kaubls of Nevada O says I had stomach
trouble and was in a bad state as I had heart trouble
with it I took Kodol Dyspepsia Cure for about four
taonths and it cured me
Kodol Digests What You Eat
and relieves the stomach of all nervous
strain and the heart of all pressure

C H Meeker of McCook was in this
vicinity Wednesday feeling the pulse of
our local farmers in regard to the sugar
beet proposition Mr Meeker admits
that tho past season was not very profit
able to the beet growers in some localities
but as a rule those in the neighborhood
of RedWillow McCook and Culbertson
who gave the crop a fair test are more
than pleased with their venture and will
go into the beet business on a much
larger scale this season In the country
north of Denver where sugar beets are
raised extensively land has advanced
from S50 to S200 per acre Mr Meeker
claims the Republican Valley is just as
well adapted to beet culture as that sec

Millionaires Poor Stomachs
The worn out stomach of the over fed
millionaire is often paraded in the public
prints as a horrible example of the evils
attendant on the possession of great
wealth But millionaires are not the
only ones who are afflicted with bad
stomachs The proportion is far greater
among the toilers Dyspepsia and in
digestion are rampant among these peo
ple and they suffer far worse tortures
than the millionaire unless they avail
themselves of a standard medicine like
Greens August Flower which has been
a favorite household remedy for all
stomach troubles for over 35 years
August Flower rouses the torpid liver
thus creating appetite and insuring per
fect digestion It tones and vitalizes
the entire system and makes life worth
living no matter what your station

Cancer Cured
W W Prickett Smithfield 111 writes
Sept 10th 1901 I had been suffering
several years with a cancer on my face
which gave me great annoyance and un
bearable itching I was using Ballards
Snow Liniment for a sore leg and
through an accident I rubbed some of
the liniment on the cancer and it gave
me almost instant relief I decided to
continue to use the liniment on the can
cer In a short time the cancer came
out my face healed up and there is not
the slighest scar left I have implicit
faith in the merits of this preparation
and it cannot be too highly recommend
