As matter Of fact the heart is the least
susceptible to primary disease Of any OF
our vital organs. 1t is, however, very
much injured by certain long continued
congsstions Of the vital organs, like the
kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover,
blood flled with uric acid produces

fatal, and, Of course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.

says that heart disease is chiefly secondary
TO some more fatal malsdy In the blood or
other vital organs. That Is, it il not the
original source Of the fatal malady.
