Yet physicians affirm that organic dis
ease OF the heart is rare. Perhaps only
once in hundred times where there is
arrangement of the heart is il found TO
be due TO a disease of the organ itself.
In the other ninety-nine cases il Is func-
tional Functional disease of the heart
means that the functions of the heart are
interfered with by 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-distended 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, palpitating action
