Always in a Hurry.

Every morning thousands of men in
vicinity of large cities and towns hurry
from their houses and take themselves to
the nearest railway station. 1t frequently
occurs that when man is the most hur-
ried, train just rolls into the station as he
comes in sight of it several rods away
consequently he runs pell-mell and plum
ges through the gateway and into the
train completely exhausted, with his
heart beating like trip hammer and
performing its functions with great
difficulty. The hurrying man passes
through these experiences daily and the
question arises whether the incessant
running to catch trains is not more
potent factor in producing heart disease
than has been supposed. On this point
prominent city physician says
/ ''There is undoubtedly connection.
The bane of our American life is its
ceaseless hurry, which induces nervous
diseases and cannot exert favorable in
fluence upon the action of the heart
And this especial matter of hurrying to
catch trains is one that daily effects
thousands of men, some of whom have
hearts that are not sound. Therefore
they are injured by this sudden and vio-
lent 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
| ficulties, either latent or developed.
There are among the business and pro-
| fessional men of New York those who
are more or less afflicted with some form
of heart disease. which in many cases
has been indut ed by severe attacks OF
rheu matism or kidney disease. A case
of heart disease cannot be attributed
alone to ascending stairs. OF course the
| first effect of running or rapidly ascend
ing 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 is
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 imperfect 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 oyer-eXertion will not produce dis
ease. But the thousands of persons
with weak hearts should move care
fully, and miss a train rather than make
themselves uncomfortable.
These affections of the heart are known
to be very frequent. They are taken in
the aggregate to be inferior only to con-
sumption in fatality. Out of more than
five hundred dissections witnessed by
the renowned DR.. Clendinning, about
one-third presented signs of heart dis
ease.
DIR. Graves of Concord. n. H., in PIE
pairing his Heart Regulator" gives a
great relief if not decided cure. The
continued demand for it, with statements
coming from sources entitled to unbound
ed confidence, would warrant us in rec
ommendng its use, even if we did not
know its valuable ingredients, and theil
adaptability to these troubles. Mr.. F.
4. Ingalls,, of Concord, is sole American
agent for this preparation (Which can b.
obtained at all best druggists), and will
send on application DR.. Graves, treatis'
on the subject.
