DISEASE OF THE HEART.
.PALPITATI0N


0NE Of the most distressing diseases that flesh
" is heir to. person subject to it, is liableto
an attack at any moment, whether lying, sitting,
or walking Its attack is sudden, and often times
without any premonition whatever, and too often
times without any appreciable cause, and there
lief that can be offered to the poor patient during
the paroxysm, is exceedingly unsatisfactory, for
but little can be done that will In any way giye
much relief ~
This, of all other diseases that have attempted
to treat upon, is the most important not only from
its being often times Of 80 difficult removal, but
from its being so exceedingly liable to run into
that structural organic disease Of the heart, Tor
which there is no cure and would the space be
allowed me, should feel in duty bound to suffer-
ing humanity to make use Of several columns In
this paper, that might throw oil the light possi-
BILE for me to do, upon this al.important disease,
its causes, indications ofcure treatment &C., &c.,
in the hope that might be the humble means Of
awakening sufferers with this disease to o true
sense of their perilous condition, and stimulate
them to loose no time in adopting some mode Of
treatment that would throw off that condition OF
the system which is the cause Of the functional de.

disease of its muscular substance, and functional

no cure it is often palliated, butneuer cured. For
the latter, although all treatment has beenb by some
of the highest authorities discarded anddiscarded
because los they say) so little, if any, success at
tends any remedial effort that may be made. Yet, .
well directed treatment is not only Of most sig-
nal benefit, but will effect o cure, providing the ;
grand cause Of the functional arrangement be we'll
understood, and treatment instituted with direct
reference to it. SO far from dscarding oil treat
ment, it certainly should receive the closest iyes-
tigation and scrutiny, and every possible e1ertion
should be used towards its removal, lest its contn
uance should bring about that structural organic
disease of the heart, which in nine cases ont Of I
ten, is the result Of prolonged, uncured, and nm
cared for functional disease. Sss5ss Z x
Organic, or that incurable disease Of the muscu-
lar structure of the heart, is produced, as have
already said, by the nervous or functional disease
of that organ, and from this fact, the functional
disease should have every remedial attention paid
to it, in the hope that ere it be too late, treat
ment may be instituted that will do away with the
cause of the functional, and thus prevent the 90.
currcnce of the organic. And now, what is the,
cause of nervous papitation or functional disease
of the heart? But, before answering this ques,s;
ton, let US see what are generally the accompanys
Ing symptoms. The pulse, generally, are from,
80 to 110-tongue clean, red and swollen-irrita-
tion and redness about the tonsils-bowes gener-s
ally very regular-headache and flushed face-.2
tenderness at the pit of the stomach-acidity and
fatulence-sleep unrefreshng- depression Of spir-
its of hours duration-feet cold-skin highly SEM
stive to changes in the atmosphere, &c., Civ
ing the most positive assurance Of q highly con-
gested and irritated mucus membrane Of the di-
gestive organs. The cause, then, Of nervous pal-y
pitation or functional arrangement Of the heart,
has its origin in disease of the stomach and dges
tive organs the removal of which isof the first
Importance, for by aodoing we cure the functional
disease, and steer our patient clear Of that terr
BILE structural organic disease Of the heart, for
which there is no cure, and very little relief from
palliatives. And, by the by, Twill here take oc-
casion to remark, for the benefit of sufferers that
as general thing where functional diseaseis Stub
born and of difficult removal, physicians are too
opt to mpute their i'll success to the disease having
passed into the structural organic disease land
so would say to oil, DO not dismayed, for your
physicians may be mistaken, and You may yet be
relieved by timely application to proper remedies.
The true indication Of treatment, then, is the
removal of the highly irritated and congested
dition Of the digestive organs and if there is any
disease requiring the most particular selection IN
remedies, this most certainly is one, not only be-.
cause most valuable time may be lest in the tax
ing Of improper remedies, but the exebiti0n Of;
remedies not consistent with the true condition OF
the stomach, may increase still more the disease
and hasten on the structural organic disease. The
remedy, above all others, for this disease, Is.
"BLISS' DYSPEPTIC REMEDY"---a remedy in
which the most implicit confidence may be placed,
for, if taken closely according to directions, TO-
gether with living up to all the accompanying di-
| rections, so far as circumstances will permit, 1t,
will most assuredly effect permanent and speedy
cure. Toall subject to this disease, i would say
get this medicine at once and lose no time In pls-
sing your system under its remedial influence, for
every day lost brings you just so much nearer to
that ineura6ie discase-organic disease Of the
heart. 49, 49,
