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

Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due 10 the ex-
element and ToTry OF American business
life. il is more often the result OF weak
stomachs. Of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case I'm the hundred Of heart
trouble 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 Pneumogas-
trio.
In another way. also the heart is ar
fected BIZ the form OF poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half-digeeted food. There is a feeling OF
oppression and heaWness in The chc.,.
caused by pressure Of the distended sto-
mach on tho heart and lungs interfering
with their action; hence arises ialpita-
ton and short breath
Poor digestion also pOisons the blood,
making II thin and watery. which irri-
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for feart
trouble is 10 improve the digestion and 70
insure the prompt assimilation OF food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals Of some safe, pleasant, ard
effective digestive preparation. Ike Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets which ray be
found al most drugstores. and which con-
tain valuable, harmless digestive ele-
ments In a pleasant. convenient form.
II IL safe TO say that the regular per-
sistent use OF stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets

mach trouble. except cancer Of the sto-
mach.

Bill-ThcntricaI Notes.

This is the age OF the problem play.
when questions that have long agitated
the public mind and furnished food for
serious thought on the part of the moral
list, are treated boldly on the stage, where
they are brought to the consideration of
many who otherwise would not have their
earnest attention drawn to them. The in
fuencs OF the theatre is felt by many who
seldom pore over the pages Of the latest
book, no matter how well the latter may
have been advertised. on account Of the
audacious manner i'm which the writer has
taken up a subject, which many think is
unfit for such a public discussion. That
the theatre has an influence no one will
deny. and even its most bitter enemies
must admit this. or else why their opposi-
ton to an institution which, II this view
be not taken, could have neither good
nor bad tendencies'f Admitting, then, the
influence Of the theatre for good or evil,
we must recognize what a powerful in
strument it can be made for teaching a
moral lesson. The sermon is heard by
hundreds tine now book is read by thou
sands, but the truly successful play, dur
ing its long life, is witnessed by millions.
The drama tells its story as eloquently
as it can be related by any other mode OF
expression, and its effect is as lasting.
1t must be admitted that many OF the
plays that bound into public favor are
not healthy I'm their moral tone, and are
not conducive TO a better state of things
any more than is the Frenchy novel or
Il .I,.t. .f..V.
The public seems TO seek with avidity
that which appeals TO a depraved appetite,
which IS every year whetted by the food
on which it gorges. Hence it IS that the
most suggestive play is often one of the
most successful.
