Now the heart has the very meanest
neighbor that ever an organ had-namely,
the Itomach-especially If it be the stom-
ach OF a greedy person. This organ is a
drunkard, glutton, trespasser and al
most everything that is bad 1t ought to
be walled In and compelled to keep on its
own grounds.
The stomach lies directly under the
heart, with only the diaphragm between,
and when it fills with gas it is like small
balloon and lifts up until it interferes di.
rectly with the hearts action. The stom.
ach itself never generates gas, but when
filled with undigested food fermentation
takes place and gas is formed, and the in
reference depends upon the amount Of
gas in the stomach
To overcome this obstruction the hear
has to exert itself in proportion to the in
reference, more blood is sent to the brain
and the following symptoms are the re
suit: A dizzy head, a flushed face, a los
of sight, spots and blurs before the eyes
flashes of light, zigzag lines or chains
often followed by the most severe head
ache. These symptoms are usually reliev
ed when the gas is expelled from the stom
ach.
Now when this upward pressure upol
the heart becomes excessive, there ar
moro dangerous symptoms. A large
