Always i'm u Hurry.

Every morning thousands of men in
vicinity of large cities and towns hurry from
their houses and take themselves to the
nearest railroad station. 1t frequently occurs
that when man is the most hurried, train
just rolls into the station as he comes in
sight of it several rods away, consequently
he runs pell nell and punges through the
gateway and into the train completely ex-
hausted, with his heart beating like n trip
hammer and performing its functions with
great difficulty. The hurrying man passes
through these experiences daily and the
question arises whether this incessant
running to catch trains, is not a more potent
and general factor in producing heart disease
than has been supposed. On this point
prominent city physician saws "There is un-
doubtedly IA connection. The bane of our
American life is its ceaseess hurry which in
duces nervous diseases and cannot exert
favorable influence upon the action of the
heart. And this especial matter of hurrying
to catch trains is one that daily affects
thousands of men, some of whom have hearts
that are not sound. Therefore they are
injured by this sudden and violent strain and
expose themselves to grave dangers" The
same subject is further discussed by another
eminent physician who says: That great
care is necessary in matters of this kind for
people who are suffering from heart diff
culties. either latent or developed. There
are among the business and professional men
of New York those who are more or less
afflicted with some form of heart disease.
which in many cases has been induced by
severe attacks of rheumatism or kidney dis
ease. A case of heart disease cannot be
attributed alone to ascending stairs. OF
course the first effect of running or rapidly
ascending is shortness of breath. The legs
and arms move quickly, while the motion of
the heart is slower and does not catch up.
BY this a load of blood from the limbs Ia
suddenly thrown upon the heart before it
moves rapidly enough to dispose of it. This
burden suddenly put upon the heart and the
temporary congestion in the lungs, cause i'm
perfect action, and the victim experiences
what is known as shortness of breath. This
is the effect upon person running up the
stairs of the elevated railroad stations to
catch trains. If the heart is perfectly sound
this over exertion will not produce disease.
But the thousands of persons with weak
hearts should move carefully, and miss a
train rather than make themselves uncom-
Portable.
These affections of the heart are known to
be very frequent. They are taken in the
aggregate to be inferior only to consumption
in fatality. Out OF more than five hundred
dissections witnessed by the renowned Dr.
Clendinning, about one-third presented signs
Of heart disease.
DIR. Graves of Concord, N. H., in prepar-
ing his Heart Regulator gives a great re-
lief if not a decided cure. The continued
demand for it, with statements coming from
sources entitled to unbounded confidence,
wonld warrant us in recommending its use,
even if we did not know its valuable ingre-
dients, and their adaptability to these
troubles. Mr.. +. 4. ingalls,, of Concord, is
sole American agent for this preparation
(Which can be obtained at all best druggists),
