thereupon dispatched a lieutenant and
an armed party to Bandar- Jiosoh; but
the sultan, hoping to receive aid from
the French continued TO be recalcitrant.
The arrival OF the second-class cruiser
Eclipse, flagship of the East Indies sta

board, threw the sultan's subjects into
panic, though the sultan himself still
remained ob6Sate. During tie morn
Ing of Feb. is. Admiral Drummond sent
word ashore that unless the sultan at

o'clock in the afternoon. he would
lombard the forts at 2:30 y. m. No

Just before o'clock. the Sultan ot

where great durbar was held and the
sultan publicly repudiated his agree

DO Not Re Alarmed, Fut Look For The
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
iness life. II 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 trou-
bic ana 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 ef-
fectcd by the form Of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is u feel
ing of oppression and heaviness i'm the
chest caused by pressure Of the dis
tended stomach on the heart and lungs
interfering with their action. hence
arises pslpltation aud short breath.
