Yet physicians affirm that organic dis
ease of the heart is rare. Perhaps only
once I'm a hundred times where there is
arrangement of the heart is it found to
be due to a disease of the organ itself.
In the other ninety-fine cases it is func-
tional Functional disease of the heart
means that the functions of the heart are
interfered with by an abnormal or dis
eased condition OF some other organ, and
this organ is generally the stomach.
Through the sympathetic and pneumo-
gastric system OF nerves, which are dis
tributed to the heart and stomach in
common, the heart at once sympathizes
with any disturbance of the stomach.
The great organs of the body are de-
signed to occupy a certain space in the
cavity of the trunk in which they are so
nicely arranged.
When the stomach is over-dstended by
eating, or when indigestion causes the
gas from the fermentation of half di-
gested food to initiate that organ, the
stomach extends outside its allotted
bound. the heart is encroached upon and
crowded and then follow shortness of
breath and irregular, paipitating action
of the heart.
Now in ninety-nine cases out Of one
hundred supposed heart disease is func-
tional and durable. and in every such
case no other medicine will SO quickly eff
feet a cure as DR.. Pierce's Golden Med
ical Discovery. 1t is an axiom that dis
eases which originate in the stomach
must be cured through the stomach 1t Is
In line with this axiom that the Golden
Medical Discovery works it's logical and
legitimate cures. BY strengthening the
stomach. by promoting the flow Of the
digestive juices, the digestion is i'm
proved. the stomach restored to Its nor
NAL condition of health, and the func-
tional disturbance of the heart thereby
corrected. Thousands of people who be-
lieved they had heart disease have been
radically cured by the Golden Medical
Discovery" 1t cures indigestion or dys-
pepsia, weakness of the stomach. and all
affections of the nutritive system, except
cancer of the stomach.
Among the commonest symptoms of
these arrangements and weaknesses of
the digestive and nutritive system are
frequent attacks of bilious or sick head
ache bitter taste in the mouth, tongue
coated white and covered with brown
fur. "backache'' and tired feelings lassi-
tude. and a sense of debility. There is
generally depression of spirits and de-
