origin In iDpure blood filled with Irritating,
poisonous materials. which, circulating
through the heart, irritate it, delicate tissues.
Though the irritation NAV AT first be only
slight. producing q little p~slpitation or irreg-
ular action, or dull, heavy, or sharp darting
pains. yet by and by the disease becomes
firmly seated, and Inflammation. o: hypertro-
ply, or thickening Of the lining membrane
or OF the valves, Is produced. How wise TO
give early attention 10 a case OF this kind. I'm

heart hould admonish one that all Is not
right, and ifyou would preserve II from fur
ther disease, you must help il TO beat rightly
