BILE Is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
bic and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by the same great
nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumo-
gastric.
In another way. also, the heart is af-
feeted by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is a feeling
OF oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distended
stomach on the heart and lungs. inter
fering with their action; hence arises
palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
making 1t thin and watery. which irH-
lates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble 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 Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets which may be
found at most drug stores and which

ments in pleasant convenient form.
