Always I'm a 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. IL frequently occurs that
Wnen man Is the most hurried, train just
Tolls into the station as he comes In sight OF II
several rods away, consequently he runs pell-
neil and plunges through the gateway and into
the train completely exhausted, with his heart
beating like a trip hammer and performing Its
functions with great difficulty. The hurryiDg
man passes through these experiences daily
ana the question arises whether this incessant
running to catch trains Is not more potent
ana general factor in producing heart disease
than has been supposed. On this point a
prominent city physician says: "There is un-
doubtedly connection. The bane Of our
american life liz its ceaseless hurry which in
duces nervous diseases and cannot exert a
favorable influence upon the action of the
heart. And this especial matter Of hurrving
to catch trains is one that daily affects thou

themselves to grave dangers" The same sub
lect IS further discussed nv another eminent
physician, who says: "That great care Is
necessary in matters Of this kind for people
who are suffering from heart difficulties, either
latent or developed. There are among the
business and professional men Of New York
tDose who are more or less afflicted with some

or Kidney disease A case of heart disease
cannot be attributed alonp to ascending stairs
Of course the first effect Of running or rapidly
ascending is sbortness Of breath The legs and
arms move quickly. while the motion Of the
heart Is slower and does not catch up. Bv this
a load OF blood from the limbs IL suddenly
thrown upon the heart before 1t moves rapdly
enough to dispose of It. This burden suddenly
put upon the heart and the temporary conges-
non in the lungs, cause imperfect action. and
the victim experiences what IL known as short
ness OF breath. This IL the effect upon per-
son running up the stairs of the elevated rail-
road stations to catch trains II the heart Is
perfectly sound this over exertion will not pro-
duce disease But the thousands Of persons
with weak hearts should move carefully, and
miss train rather than make themselves IN
comfortable. 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 nv the renowned
DR.. Clendinning, about one-third presented
signs of heart disease. DIR. Graves NJ Concord,
N. f., in preparing his "Heart Regulator "
gives great relief IL not decided cure The
continued demand for IL, with statements COM
ing from sources entitled to unbounded con-
fdence, would warrant us In recommending its
use. even II we did not know its valuable in
gradients, and their adaptability to these
troubles. Mr. F f. ingalls, Of Concord is sole
American agent for this preparation (which ca
be obtained at all best druggists). and will
send on application DR.. Graves treatise on
the subject.
