/ As a matter Of fact the heart is the
least susceptible to primary disease
Of any OF our organs. It is, however,

continued congestions of tile vital or
cams, like the kidneys, liver and
stomach. Moreover, blood filled with
uric acid produces q rheumatic tend

and, OF course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action. N,
Roberts, the great English auth ority,
i says that heart disease is chiefly
secondary to some more fatal nlalady

That is, it is not the original source Of
