Will do but an immediate eX-
animation.
Yet physicians affirm that organic
disease of the heart is rare. Perhaps
only once in a hundred times Wnere
there is arrangement of the heart is 1t
found to be due to a disease of the or
gan itself. In the other ninety-nine
cases it is functional. Functional dis
ease of the heart means that the fuuc-
tions of the heart are interfered with
by an abnormal or diseased condition
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 stomach in
common, the heart at once sYmrathizes
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-distended
by eating, or when indigestion causes
the gas from the fermentation of half
digested food to initiate that organ, the
stomach extends outside its allotted
bound, the heart is encroachcd upon

ness of breath and irregular, palpitat-
ing action of the heart
Now in ninety-nine cases out of one
hundred, supposed heart disease is
functional and durable, and in every
such case no other medicine will so
quickly effect a cure as DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is an
axiom that diseases 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 pro-
noting the flow of the digestive juices,
the digestion Is improved, the stomach
restored to its normal condition of
health. and the functional disturbance
of the heart thereby corrected. Thous-
ands of people who believed they had
heart disease have been radically cured
by the Golden Medical Discovery" 1t
cures indigestion or dyspepsia, weak
ness 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 scl.
headache, bitter taste in the mouth,
tongue coated white or covered with a
brown fur, "backache" and tired feel
ings, lassitude and a sense of debility.
There is generally depression of spirits
and a decided tendency to be discour-
aged, and despondent; there Is loss or
irregularity OF appetite, uneasiness or
undue fullness in region of the stomach
after eating, sometimes sour stomach,
heartburn, nausea and water
brash," flatulency and acrid or sour
eructations or "risings" soon after eat
ing: the bowels become irregular, usu-
ally constipated, and occasionally sub
ject to 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 he present in any
one case, nor are any two cases alike
in every respect.
"I never took any medicine that did
me so much good as DR.. Pierce's,"
writes Mrs. Sophronia McCrea, of Cas-
tleton, Hartford Co., Nd. "When |
wrote to you was suffering from such
a pain between my shoulders I could
not draw long breath at times, and
had a soreness across my shoulders
and breast upon rising in the morning.
I suffered off and on for eight years,
trying different physicians and asking
different doctors what caused this, but
with no satisfactory results. I took
medicine, and at last said 1 would not
take any more. ! couldn't even dc
light work with any ease. nor do much
of any thing that caused me to bend
over; couldn't sleep at night, had ter
rible headaches and numbness in my
arms and hands. l was taken with a
