Geo. b. Mel lellan, We note hat the New

that Governor Dewitt Clinton, Gov

Hold your hand against the ribs on
your left side, frout,-the regular,
steady beating of the great "force
pump" of the system, run by an I'M
known and mysterious Engineer, is
awful in its impressiveness.
Few persons like 10 count their own
pulse beats. and fewer persons still,
enjoy marking the "thub-thub" OF
their own heart.
"IFhat If II should skip a beat"
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 con-
tinued COMPOSITIONS of the vital organs,
like the kidneys, liver, and stomach.
Moreover, blood filed with unc acid
produces a 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

The work OF the heart is to brce blood

they are Mt all diseased, it is . very,
very hard task. Take as an Illustration:
The kidneys are very subject 10 con-

nerves of sensation, this congested con-

disease, so called, which in reality is
chiefly a secondary effect of Btight's
disease of the kidneys, and indicates
the universal need OF that renowned
specific Warmers Safe Cure.
B. F. Larrabee, ESQ.,, OF Boston, who
was by it so wonderfully culed OF
Bright's disease, in 1879, says that with
its disappearance went the distressing
heart disorder, which he then dis
covered was only secondary to the renal
trouble.
There is a general impression tlat the
medical profession is not at fault II 1t
frankly admits that heart disease is the
cause OF death. In other words, a cure
OF heart disease is not expected ofthem
There may be no help for broken
down, worn out, apoplectic heart, but
there is help for the kidney disorder,
which in most cases is responsible for
the heart trouble. and il its use put
money and fame into the treasur, OF the
profession instead Of into the hands Of
an Independent investigator, every
graduated doctor in the worlt would
exclaim of it, as one, nobler md less
