A WONDERFUL ARRAY.
The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths
in New England.
what Many Prominent Citizens
of Boston Have to Say Upon
the Subject.
boston Advertiser

The recent sad and sudden death of Hon. Emory
A. Storrs and many other prominent men, of sup
posed heart disease brings the subject of sudden
deaths very forcibly before the community. When
any man or woman dies without warning it has
commonly been called heart disease. Such a
thing is absurd. More men die from a sudden
breaking down of life force in one week than die
from heart disease in year. And the army OF
those who do not die but who suffer on and to
whom life is burden, is still greater. To show
our readers how true this is, we have collected
the following facts:
Mr. A P. Hathaway, of the firm of Hathaway s.
Woods, No. "a Commerce street. one of the best
known firms In Boston, said: 81 have felt terri
Bile depression of spirits during the past summer
due, possibly, to the very hot weather we have
had. At times it seemed almost as though must

ton, / became somewhat alarmed, and sought
means of relief used Hoptonic, abont which we
are hearing so much of late and must say it did
wonders. am not only in perfect health, but

the medicines she ever tried for general special
troubles, none were so helpful as Hoptonic."

1t was found that number of the guests at the

freight agent of the Boston and Albany railroad,
has experienced the same feelings of physical de-
preston which are becoming so alarmingy

Mr.. Thomas J. Barry counsellor-at-law, No. 4s

Ryarv careful observer and thinker mist have
been overwhelmed by the increase of sudden sick
ness and death which is going on in our midst. 1t
is frightful. To successfully meet this has been
the aim of physicians, the solicitude of friends.
The statements which appear above are not from
unknown sources, but from our best citizens, and
unquestionably show the power Of the great rem
edy of which they speak. Suffering and death
will continue, 1t is true; but both may be post
poned, and the wise ones are those who intelli
gently use the best and most approved means for
avoiding their approach
