I was so bad that I could not do my work, and could scarcely draw a full breath without fainting or smothering. The doctor told me he could do no more for me; then 1 commenced taking the Heart Remedy. I ahall never forget that night. I dept better than I had before in months. I kept right on getting better, until I was perfectly well." MRS. LAURA RUSSELL, Logan, Iowa. When the heart action it weak, it fail* to pump the blood through the lungs with soiScicnt' rapidity. Then the lung* do not absorb the proper amount of oxygen, although they may be taking in.a normal amount of air. The result is ahortneas of breath, smothering spells, difficult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest.
