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

Heart troubles, at least among the Americans, are certainly increasing and while this may be largely due tc the excitement and worry of American business 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 affected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended 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 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's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug storas and which contain valuable, harmless di- gestiVe elements in a pleasant, conven- tent form.
 It 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 50 cents Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart O., Marshall, Mich. mh1 3

EIGHTY-TW YEARS OLD.

Ex-Major F. M. Brown, of the Put nam Phalanx, of Hartford, was eighty two years old Sunday, and the event was pleasantly recognized at his home. More than fifty, years ago Major Brown represented the town of Windsor in the general assembly. He was in the house from that town in 1S47 and also in 1853. In 1864 he was returned to the house from Windsor Locks and also in 1868, giving him four terms in the legislature. Chauncey Rowe of Pennington, Judge Hiram Wiley of East Haddam and Lemuel Stoughton of East Windsor were in the house with Major Brown in 1857. The list, of the survivors of that body is very Small.
 In 1857 ex-Major Brown succeeded Colonel Henry Kennedy in command of the Putnam Phalanx, and was elected during the succeeding seven terms. He has been for years one of the fore most members of the battalion, and re- tains his active membership at the present time.
