SONE FACTS REGARDING HE RAPID
IN ReASE OF HEART TROUBLES.
DO Not BE Alarmed, but Look FOR The
Cause

DO Not BE Alarmed hut Look For The
Cause.
Heart troubles at least among the mori-
cans are certainly Increasing aud while thi,
may be largely due to the excitement aud
worry oCgAmeriau hu-uus, life it is more
often the result of weak stnmachs, of poor
digestion
Real organic disease is incunbe but not
one case in a hundred Vt huart trouble is or
gauic
The close relation between heart trouble
aud poor digestion is because both organs are
controlled by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and Pneumogastric
In another way. also the heart is affected
by the form Of poor digestion, which causes
gas aud fermentation from half dgestcd
TODD There Is a feeling of oppression and
heavues, in the chest caused by pressure Of
the distendet stomach on the heart and
lungs interfering With their action hence
arises polpiIation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poison. the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irrtatos
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart trou-
Bile is to improve the digestion and to insure
the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals Of some safe pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspep-
sia Tablets, which may be found at most
drug stores and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements in a pleasant,
convenient form
It is safe to say that the regular persistent
use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal
time will cure any form Of stomach trouble
except cancer of the stomach.

druggists 50 cents. Little book on stom-

The Kidney Complexion.

The pale sallow, snnllen-cheeked, dis
tresscd-looking people you so often meet are
afflicted with Kidney Complexion"
Their kidneys are turning to a parsnip
color So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or suffer
from sleeple sness, rheumatism, neuralgia,
brain trouble, nervous exhaustion and some
times the heart acts badly.
The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.
Usually the sufferer from kidney disease
does not find out what the trouble is until it
is almost too late, because the first symptoms
are so like mild sickness that they do not
think they need a medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer's swamp Root will build up
and strengthen their weak and diseased
kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney
poisoned blood, clear their complexion and
soon they will enjoy better health.
You can get the regular sizes at the drug
store, at fifty cents and one dollar or you
may first prove for yourself the wonderful
virtues of this great discovery, Swamp-RoOt,

In Hospitality and POIitenesH He
Stands Pre-emInent.
The Egyptian of today may easily be
surpassed in honesty, courage and the
manlier virtues, yet in hospitality and
politeness he stands pre-eminent. No
Egyptian sits down to a meal without
asking all passersby to partake Of it; dur
ing his 80 days fast every year his doors
are open to all, no introduction being
needed to the poor he gives ungrudgingly.
Though allowed co have four wives, the
effendi is almost always a monogamist.
Marrying early, he Is, as rule, good
husband and father and fond of and kind
to his children
To show the direction in which the
ideas of marriage are setting, we may say
phat one Of the first teachers in Moham-
medan law IA Egypt some time ago laid
down this maxim-that the prophet has
allowed four wives to any man who
would engage to love all four alike, but as
he had pever met any one capable of do
ing So lac would recommend ono wife as
the Interpretation of the prophets words
Indeed the relatives of the wife so resent
q mans marrying again that it is hardly
ever done.
In abstinence from drinking TO excess
the whole Egyptian nation stands head
and shoulder above us. The hospitality of
the sheiks, or village headmen, is bound
less and takes the shape of feasts at which
Athelstane might have presided and
Cedric been entertained and both found
themselves at home
We have seen men sit down TO banquet
of 2l heavy courses, where a huge turkey
Was the seventeenth course and the first
course alone consisted Of a whole sheep,
inside which was q goose, inside that q
chicken, then pigeon and finally an egg,
which last was presented TO the principal
guest, as containing the essence of all.
The weakest point of the Egyptians s
armor Is his lack of courage and very
feeble idea Of what fair play means An
Egyptian etfendi, or man of the upper
classes, told me with great satisfaction OF
a duel one Of his oountrymen had with an
Italian, In which the Egyptian chose
clubs as the weapon TO fight with, and
then disabled the right hand Of the
italian by sudden blow before the duel
had begun He actually could see moth.
