HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not he Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Ameri-
cans. are certainly increasing; and while
this may be largely due TO the excite
ment and worry of American business
life. il is more often the result Of weak
stomachs. of poor digestion.
Real. organic heart-disease is incura-
BILE: but not one case In a hundred OF
heart-trouble Is organic.
The close relation between heart-trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches OF the same
great nerves-the sympathetic and pneu-
mogastric.
In another way. also, the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half-digested food; there is feeling OF
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure Of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs. interfering
with their action; hence, arises palpita-
ton and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
makes II thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
THE most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is TO improve the digestion. and
10 insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular
use. after meals. Of some safe. pleasant,
and effective digestive preparation. Ike
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. which may
be found at most drugstores. and which
contain valuable. harmless. digestive ele-
ments. In a pleasant. convenient form.
IL is safe TO say that the regular. per
sistent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
M meal-time will cure any form Of stom-
ach trouble, except cancer Of the stom-
ach.
