The Atlantic Coast Line is replac
\mg about five and one half miles
of wooden trestles acrass the Pee
Dece, Santee and Savannah Rivers in
South Carolina, with a concrete and
steel viaduct, representing the most
modern engineering construction, at
la cost of approximately one million
dollars, These improvements will
make a permanent crossing at these
imgortant rivers on the main line,
and it 1s expected that the entire
work will be completed in March of
1910. i
The comnletion of a second tract
during February 1910, between‘
Folkston, Georgia anc Callahan,
Florida, creates continuous double
track between FEolkston and Jack
sonville, a d'stance of forty three
miles. In addition a second track
between Florence and Pee Dee,
South Carelina, a distance of tne
miles, is under construction, thus
giving the Atlantic Coast Line Route
two hundred and forty eight miles
of double track between Washington, |
D. C., and Jacksonvill, Fla,, or
about thirty percent of the distance.
‘The main line between Richmond
Virginia and Tampa, Florida, has
been relaid with heavy rail, the
great majority of which being eighty

Painin
g
Heart
“For two years T had pain in
my heart, back and left side.
Could not draw a deep breath
or lie on left side, and any little
exertion would cause palpita
tion. Under advice I took
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy and
Nervine. I took about thirteen
bottles, am in better health than
I ever was, and have gained 14
pounds.”
MRS. LILLIE THOMAS,
Upper Sandusky, Ohio.
For many years Dr. Miles’
Heart Remedy has been very
successful in the treatment of
heart troubles, because of its
tonic effect upon the heart
nerves and muscles. Even in
severe cases of long standing it
has frequently prolonged life for
many years after doctors had
given up all hope, as proven by
thousands of letters we have re
ceived from grateful people.
Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy Is sold by all
druq'g_luo. If the first bottle faiis teo
benefit, your druggist will return your
money.
