Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregular
lty OF the hearts action. This irregu-
lality may be mistaken for real, organic
heart disease. The symptoms are much
the same. There is however vast
difference between the two: organic
heart disease is often incurable; APP
parent heart disease is durable if good
digestion be restored.
case in point is quoted from the
New Era, OF Greensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Viewpoint, Ind, a
woman 43 years Old, had suffered for
four years with distressing stomach
trouble. The gases generated by the
indigestion pressed on the heart, and
caused an irregularity OF its action.
She had much pain in her stomach and
heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in
vain the patient became worse, de-
spondent, and feared impending death.

She was much frightened, but no.
ticed that in intervals in which her
stomach did not annoy her, her heart S
action became normal. Reasoning cor
rectly that her digestion was alone at
fault she procured the proper medicine
to treat that trouble and with immedi-
ate good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent
and finally ceased. Her weight, which
had been great" reduced was restored
and she now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure
and her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because
the disease is very common one.
That others may know the means Of
cure we give the name of the medicine
used-Dr. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People. These pills contain all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves.

however. he returned 10 the Union Iron
Works and has been the guiding spirit
Of that great plant ever since. Mr..
Scott not only made success of heavy
