DEATH IN THE HEART.

LIFE HANGING BY A THREAD. THREE LEADING DOCTORS FAIL. MICHAEL CLAYTON'S LIFE SAVED. DR. WILLIAMS' FIITK. PILLS. "For five years my heart was bo weak that my life was just hanging by a thread. All this time I was cripp.ed with Rheumatism. I'ho three best docWis in Launoesion couid do nottung for mc. After they failed, 13 boxca of Dx. Williams , Pink fills cured niu for good. Aly caeo is a downright miracie." That is tho statement of Mjcnaei Clayton, 'who lives ait 9 Cypress street, off Eiphin road, Launceston. For 25 years ho worked in tho Waverlcy Woollen Mills, and the facts of hie case are well known to Mr Hogarth, one of the * leading. citizens of Launceaton. Mx Clapton himself has solemnly sworn to the facts before Senator D. btorrer —and it goes without saying that Senator Storror would not lend his name to a etatn&'ent that was not true in every detail.. "It was iv 1005 tnat I first felt the Rhcumatuia in my enoiudors," said Mr C.ayton, going back to the -beginning of his illness. "It was a dvii, gnawiug pun that stiffened all my nrusclea. i could not raise my arms to my head. Little- by litt.e the pain worked down my left side and around ivy heart. My iett arm was worst of all. It was so swollen and sore that I oould not button my waistcoat. Many a night I did not get an hour's sleep, and my neives were all unstrung, orum I was sick on my stomach in tho mornings. I gradually lost weight, and my whole health went to pieces. "One day when I was working in the Factory a sudden amothericg iccling came over mc, and I ieii down in a half faint. Whon my mates found mc, I was gasping for brvath. They thought I was dying irom Heart Disease. Alter that I never know when one of theae attacks wou.d come on. Whenever my heart jumped or fluttered I was in mortal dread. Day and night I always iad a queer fechug around the heart. It was not exactly a j;ain —it waa just a stuffy, choking leeiing, us if tho very breath were being crushed out of mc. My face used to flush, and then my head would swim and my ears ring. A feeling of fa:ntnees would come over mc, and a cold sweat wouid stand out on my face. Often I thought my last hour had come. "There are not three bettor doctors in the whole of Tunnsinia than the three who treated mc all through this illness," Mr Clayton went on to siiy. "But they were not able to do mc ono atom of good. When I was nearly mad with the Rheumatism, they injected morphia into my veins—but the pain was ten times. worEO afterwards. And all this time my heart was getting weaker. At last, one of the doctors found a lump on my left side, just over my heart. Little by little it grew nnd spread. I tackled tho doctor, and he told mc I had Fatty Degeneration of the Heart. 'When I asked him what that meaft, he said that tho muscle of my heart was gradually turning into fat. It was so soft that my heart might burst at any time —or the fat might get co thick that my heart would not hiwe room to beat at oil. From that day on I knew that I might drop dead any moment. "The doctors tried to work tho lump down by rubbing it—'but that only seemed to make it spread. Then they tried to melt it with hot flannels and* oi!—but that did no good either. Every month I found it harder to breathe. Often I had to crawl homo frosi the Factory more dead than alive. Sometimes I hone3tly wished that the Heart Disease would put an end to all I was suffering. The Rheumatism seemed to be all through my system, eating into every joint aud muscle. The agony was something awful. My face got all drawn emd haggard with suffering. I soon grew so helpless that I cou'tl not cut myself a pipe oi tobacco. At lart I had to knock off work altogether. For three months I was absolutely cripp'.ed. The docters could not even case my pain so my daughter got mc to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. She thoua-ht they might cure my Rheumatism—but neither of us ever drer.mcd that they would do my heart any good. "At first I thought that Dr. Williams' Pinl: Pills wore going fe> fail like »!1 the doctors' medicines," Mr Clayton added. "Ail I noticed after the first box wss that I had a gTar.d appetite. During , the Ihird box I fancied my Rheumatism vras a little easier— and before I finished the nest hex I waa s ure of it. After the fifth b-x I did not want ar.y more morphia. In a few weeks I was able to buttoa niv own shirt and lace my boois. Then I 'noticed *ba»t the lump arcimd my heart was poing down. I could hardly Velievo my eyes. Before long there wasn't a sign of it left. I lost that stuffy smothering , feeiin?, snd my heart beir>n to brat in a healthy way. It was a Ion , ? uphill fight—brt. in the end. I was completely cured with Iβ boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They actually saved my life. I can jump about like a boy eott. ar.d my heart is as sound as any man's. I have never had a pain or aa ache since Dr. WiWnres' Pink Pills cured mc five ye?.Ts ago—*o -that shows lim cured for eood. Mv <?au?bter here will tell you that every word I speak is Gojpel Truth." Dr. Williams' Pink PiKs work theae wonderful cures, after dxtors acd common meniicines have failed, because they actually make new bl<y-d. Th«at one thin? is a;l they do I —but they do it we".. They don't act on the bowels. They don't tirker w!fh mere rrrapt»<m". They strike ri?ht »t the CjMiR? of disea-'e in the b'of>d. and so cure indigestion. ki<]i:«y and Hver diseases petpitat'on of the hexrt, nervousness, ceuralcria rheumatism, rciit-'ca. pnrtisl paralysis. ond the ailment" that fill the "ires of ?o many with misery.
