How difficult It Is for those afflicted with heart disease to get relief, and to get It quickly. The pain hangs on. and is suggestive of the most terrible re sults, for heart disease cannot be trilled with. Here was Mrs. W. T. Rundle, the wife of the well known cattle dealer In Dundalk, who suffered so neverely from pain In the region of the heart that, to quote her own words: "I was for some time unable to attend to my household duties. I was Induced to try Dr. Ag new's Cure for the Heart, and I must sny the result was wonderful. The pain Immediately left me after the first day and I have had no trouble since." Strong testimony, and yet Mrs. Rundle stands along with thousands of others who can say the same thing. Sold by Matthews Bros. MILL STILL GRINDING.
