1T beats too quickly, or seems to miss
an occasional beat, nothing will do
but an immediate examination.
Yet physicians affirm that organic
disease Of the heart is rare. Perhaps
only once in hundred times where
there is arrangement of the heart is it
found to be due to disease of the or
gan itself. In the other ninety mine
cases it is functional. Functional dis
ease Of the heart means that the
functions Of the heart are interfered
with by an abnormal or diseased con-
ditiOn of some other organ, and this
organ is generally the stomach.
Through the sympathetic and pneu-
mogastric system Of nerves, which
are distributed to the heart and stom-
ach in common, the heart at once SYM
pathizes with any disturbance of the
stomach.
The great organs of the body are de-
signed to occupy a certain space in
the cavity or the trunk in which they
are so nicely arranged.
When the stomach is over DIST ended
by eating, or when indigestion causes
the gas from the fermentation Of half
digested food to initiate that organ, the
stomach extends outside it's allotted
bounds, the heart is encrOached upon
and crowded, and then follow shortness
Of breath and irregular, palpitating &C
ton 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 viii 50 quickly
effect a cure as DR.. Piercc's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is an axiom that
diseases which originate in the stOm-
ach must be cured through the stom-
ach. 1t is in line with this axiom that
the Golden Medical Discovery" works
its logical and legitimate cures. BY
strengthening the stomach, by promOt-
ms the flow of the digestive juices, the
digestion is improved, the stomach re-
stored to it's normal condition Of health
and the functional disturbance Of the
heart thereby corrected. Thousands of
people who believed they had heart
disease have been radically cured by
the Golden Medical Discovery" 1t
ness of the stomach and all affections
of the nWtritive system, except cancer
Of the stomach.
Among the commences symptoms of
these arrangements and weaknesses of
the digestive and nutritive system are
frequent attacks of bilious or sick
headache, bitter taste in the mouth,
tongue coated white or covered with a
brown fur, ''backache" and tired fe~-
ings, lassitude and q sense of debility.
There is generally depression Of spirits
and a decided tendency to be diScour-
aged, and respondent; there is loss or
irregularity Of appetite, uneasiness or
undue fullness in region Of the stom-
ach after eating; sometimes sour stom-
ach, ."heart-burn," nausea and water
brasil" flatulency, and ecrid or sour
eructations or ''risings" soon after eat
ing; the bowels become irregular, usual
ly constipated, and occasionally subject
10 diarrhea, attended with colicky
pains Not often is there any pain eX-
perienced in the region Of the liver,
but it is sometimes accompanied with
"sideache." The foregoing symptoms
are not all likely to be present in any
one case. nor are any two cases alike
