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


Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American bus
mess life, it is more often the result
of weak stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and
Pneumogastric.
In another way, also the heart is eff
fected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation fra m
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
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores and which
contain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments in pleasant. convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular per-
sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets at meal time will cure any form
of stomach trouble except cancer of
the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.
