Died suddenly of Heart Disease.

How common ia the announcement Thou
sands are suddenly swept into eternity by THU
fatal malady. This disease generally has it
origin in impure blood filled with irritating
poisonous materials, which, circulating through
the heart, irritate it's delicate tissues. Though
the irritation may at first be only slight, pro-
ducing a little palpitation or irregular action,
or dull, heavy, or sharp darling pains, yet by
and by the disease becomes firmly seated, and
inflammation, or hypertrophy, or thickening
OF the lining membrane or OF the valves, Is
produced. How wise to give early attention
to Il case of this kind. Unnatural throbbing
