SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES.

DO Not be Alarmed, hut 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
business life, IL is more often the re
suit Of weak stomachs. OF poor diges-
tion.
Real organic disease is incurable but
Bot 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
affected by the form OF poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a
feeling of oppression ald heaviness in
the chest, caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation aud short
breath
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making it thin auG watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to ia prove the diges-
tion and TO insure the prompt assimi-
lation of food
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart Dyspepsia Tablets, which may
be found at most drug stores, and
which contain valuable, harmless di
gestive elements in a pleasant, con-
venient form.
1t 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.
Full size 1 package of these tablets
sold by druggists at so cents. Little
