dure much from the torp1d liver. ~ We put aside the thought of o. danger to the lungs by saying: r. "Oh, it's only a cough. It will F go away after a time." But when the heart gives an uncom-
 mon pulsation, or when 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 derangement of the heart is 1t found to be due to a disease of the or gan itself. In the other ninety-n1ne cases 1t is functional. Functional dis ease of the heart means that the func- 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 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 overdistended by eating, or when indigestion causes the gas from the fermentation of half digested food to infiate that organ, the stomach extends outside its allotted bound, the heart is encroached upon and crowded, and then follow short 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 curable, and in every such case no other medicine will so quickly effect a cure as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It Is an axiom that diseases which originate in the stomach must be cured through the stomach. It is In line with this axiom that the Golden Medical Discovery" works its 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. Thou sands of people who believed they had heart disease have been radically cured by the Golden Medical Discovery" It 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 sick 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 Respondent; 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," fatulency and acrid or sour eructations or "risings" soon after eat ing; the bowels become irregular, us- ually constipated, and occasionally subject to diarrhea, attended with colicky pains. Not often Is there any pain experienced in the region of the liver, but it Is sometimes accompanied with "sideache." The foregoing symp- toms are not all likely to be present in any one case, nor are any two cases alike In every respect
 T never took any medicine that did me so much good as Dr. Pierce's,' writes Mrs. Sophronia McCrea of Cas- tleton, Hartford Co.,. Md. When I wrote to you was suffering from such a pain between my shoulders I could not draw long breath at times, and
