:" What il it should skip a beas!'
As matter of fact the heart is the least
susceptible 70 primary disease of any OF
our vital organs. 1t is, however, very
congestions of the vital organs, like the
kidneys, liver and stomach. Moreover,
blood filled with uric acid produces q
rheumatic tendency, and is very injurious
to healthful heart action-it often proves
fatal. and, of course, the uric acid comes
from impaired kidney action.
Roberts, the great English authority,
says that heart disease is chiefly secondary
to some more fatal nalady in the blood or
other vital organs. That is, 1t is not the
original source of the fatal malady.
