HEART DISEASE.
some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease OF Heart Trouble.

GEf-zAHe ba lfOublf-
Heart trouble, at least among the Amer
leans. is certainly increasing, and while this
may be largely due 10 the excitement and
worry 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 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 preumOgastric.
In another way. also. the heart is af-
fected by the form Of poor digestion which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food. There is a feeling Of op-
preston and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure Of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs, interfering with their
action; hence arise palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood
making il thin and watery, which fri
tates and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is TO improve the digestion and to
ensure 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 Dyspep-
sia Tablets. which may be found at most
drug stores. and which contain valuable,
harmless digestive elements IN a pleasant
convenient form
Il is safe 20 say that the regular per-
sistent use Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets al
meal time will cure any form Of stomach
trouble except cancer Of the stomach
Full-sized package Of these tablets sold
by druggists al 50 cents. Little book or

very high regard for the whitewashing
subterfuge known as the Alger Relief Com

said, or could say, concerning that trans
parent fraud would not place ii in as OBJ
noxious or ridiculous a light as its own
conduct in listening to the filth of Eagan
with apparent approval, and a suspicious
appearance of foreknowledge of the obscene
literature presented to it. The worst that
ever has been exposed at the expense of
the Alger Relief Commission, is as nothing
compared with what its members have
confessed OF themselves, in allowing such
a disgrsceful thing to proceed TO its end
without protest or even objection. A

For long time we have noticed with

Andrew d. White. our ambassador at Ber-

German government and people for the
United States is so intense as to be
painful.
1t is a chilly week when White does
not favor some interviewer with rich
assurances in this direction. They are
all pitched in the same key and ought
to convince the most skeptical. They
have convinced us SO thoroughly that We

that nothing of the kind ever had hap
pened, and that in reality, Mr.. Mckinley
and his fellow countrymen were as near
and necessary to the Teutonic empire as
the skin of a weinerwurst is TO its de-
partment of the interior.
When Mr.. White advises us, as he did
the other day that the meat inspection
bill before the Reichsrath is not an mimi
cal measure, but is only designed to shut
out American products at the seaboard, in
stead of exposing them to the danger of
general introduction followed by local in
spections, we are bound to admit that Cor
nell diplomacy is such splendid thing
We should keep it at home and devote it
to teaching the young idea how to shoot

There are carping critics who object that,
while White prates OF peace and amity at
Berlin, German officials and agencies in
the East are promoting Aguinaldo's insur-
rection and doing everything in their pow
er to aid our home traitors in an effort to
despoil the American people of their Pa
cifc possessions. But probably this is only
to give both Wilhelm and White another
chance to swear eternal brotherhood over
