HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
Do Not Be Alarmed, But Look For
The Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans. are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
element and worry of American bust
ness life, it is more often the result of
weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurabIe; but
not one case in a hundred of heart trou-
BILE is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
BILE 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 eff
fected 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 dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs,
interfering with their action; hence
arises palpitation and short breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin and watery, which irri-
tates 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
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable. harmless digestive ell
ements in a pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
eistent use of Stuart'S Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form of
stomach trouble except cancer of the
stomach

Digging For Fish.

The natives of Kottiar, in Africa, are
in the habit Of digging every year, in
the summer, the dry banks of the ver-
gel river for fish, which they dig out by
hundreds, just as they would potatoes.
The mud Jumps are broken open and
the fish, perhaps 8 or 10 inches long,
will always be found alive, and often
frisky, as if just removed from its sup
posedly native element--the water. In
the dry beds of several African rivers a.
similar practice is often pursued. A
kind of mud fish buries itself while the
bottom is still moist, and remains there
all the summer, waking up when the
rains commence again.
