BOsTON, April lSth.-rhe alarming in
crease within year in the mortality from
apopleXy has set insurance men think
Ing, and the fear of sudden death from
this aud similar causes Is resulting in
rejection of great many applicants for
policies.
Insurance examiners say that men
who appear robust and sound are found
too frequently upon close questioning
to have premonitory symptoms that
make it safer to reject them than to
accept the risks.
The last report of one of the largest
companies in the country stated that one
out of every ten deaths was flom apo
plexey.
DR.. Edward p. Howard, whose investi-
CATION into the causes of this increase
has been pursued with such vigor and
such fortunate results, says that it is un-
doubtedly true that apOpleXY is pre-
ceded for Il considerable time by pre-
monitory symptoms.
Giddness, pain and sense of pressure
in the head, confusion of ideas, flushing
of the face, noises in the ears, drowsi-
ness, sometimes nausea aud faintness,
and invariably come form of indigestion
precede apopleXy.
The insurance people as well as doc
tors and patients are therefore Just now
very much interested in DR.. IIoward's
new specific. which has been found to
have the utmost value in curing dyspep-
sia and other stomach troubles that here
tOfOre have been incurabe.
The little granules which dners-out
tind so successful in relieving "that full
feeling after dinner" says one of the
medical journals, have been proved to be

graduated upon solving not only medi-
cal but "a business problem as WELL
1t seems that DR.. IIoward's harmless
little granulcs act as bland stomach reg
uatOrs and gentle laXatIves. and are al

more prominent physicians because

more assuredly than doses of drastic
medicine or strong cathartic pills.
AT the clubs and hotels the handy little
bottles of the specific have taken the
place of the harmful liquors that have
been the fashion to "settle the stomach"
after each meal: single pellet-which

more. Their action is gradual but efiec-
tive, and Indigestion disappears after
few days.
Dyspepsia has been closer studied and
more discussed than any one ailment be-
cause no weakness specially invites so
many troubles or makes life less worth
living.
And now cure for it has been found
Naturally there has been a great de-
mand for the specific from physicians
and druggists in this and other cities.
and DR.. Howard found it impossible to
supply it,.
"Why, could do nothing else for a
time, but answer requests for the spec-
fic," DR.. Howard is quoted as saying,
land | had to make some arrangements
to distribute it. For time | supplied
the granules in bulk until a company
was formed In Burlington, VT, to dis
tribute 1t. The granules for conven-
ience sake are put up in little bottles
that are just the size to carry in the vest
pocket, and are handy to take Immediate
ly after lunch or dinner.
Large doses of the specific are not
necessary, as their best action comes
from the minute dose, regularly taken.
In this way the cause of the trouble is
