"I was trout fishing in the lower
part of the Pennsylvania hem-j
lock belt this season," said an
Orange county citizens, according to
story in the New York Sun, "and
seeing and hearing more rattle-i
snakes than was pleasant I asked a
native of the district if those
cheerful reptiles weren't more plentiful
than usual thereabout. He
said they were, and told me why.
" "It's because the woods have
been cut away so,' said he. 'The
cutting away of the woods has made
the deer scarcer. Naturally the
lime; MUl Ul lilt? uetT lias l.llieu
out of the woods one of the greatest
foei the rattler ever had. A
olaeksnake hates rattlesnakes beyond
everything, but it doesn't hate
them a bit more than does the
deer.
" 'Deer will hunt rattlesnakes as
persistently as a good dog will
hunt birds. When a deer once
gets its eye on a rattler that rattler's
fate is sealed.
" "The deer waits until the snake
coils to strike. Then it raises on
its hind feet and strikes the snake
with the sharp hoofs of the forefeet,
killing it instantly. After killing
the snake if there doesn't seem
~o be any of its kind at hand requiring
the deer's attention, it will
cut the dead one to pieces with
its hoofs.
" 'In the fall of the year, when
the snakes are returning to their
dens for the winter, and in the
spring, when they are coming out
again, deer visit the dens and kill
rattlers by the score as they pass
in or come out. In this way while
deer were plentiful in our region
they undoubtedly kept the rattlesnake
population down by thousands
every year. There are not
enough of the snake killing deer
left with us to hoid the poison pedaling
reptiles in check.
" 'Old hunters used to say that
even if the rattlesnake was quick
enough to get its work in on a
deer beofre the deer's razor-like
k * - i -
uvuis enaea its career tne poison
would have no efefct on the deer. I
think that is a mistake. I came
across a big buck one fall lying
dead iu the woods. In one of the
nostrils, fast in the flesh, I discovered
tee afngs of the rattlesnake
" '1 could come to but one conclusion
trom that. The buck had
attackeo a rattlesnake and the
snake had managed to strike it in
the nose, setting a fang deep in
a nostril. The buck, jerking its
head nack suddenly had pulled the
fang out of the snake's jaw. The
poison from it had killed the buck.'
"That same native of the hemlock
belt told me that if I carried
a black ash slick with me I needn't
be t-fraid of all the rattlesnakes
there were in that or any other region,
for a rattler wouldn't come
anywhere near black ash. He
said, too, that I could always be
sure of huckleberry pie or pudding
for dinner wherever there was rattlesnakes
and a huckleberry country
invariably went together. He
said, too, that I needn't be afraid
r?f getting malaria as long as 1
was-*n a district where there were
rattle?nakes.
"I didn't, carry a black ash stick
to test its eiftcacy against proximity
of rattlers, there isn't any
doubt at all but 1 ^d huckleberry
DUddine or nie richt ? iiae while I
was in that bailiwick, an& I np/?er
bad malaria once."

Pain in
Heart
"For two years I 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 palpitation.
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
I thousands of letters we have received
from grateful people.
Dr. Milea' Heart Remedy Is sold by all
druggists. If the firat bottle fails to
j benefit, your druggist will return your
money.
