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 the
pneumogastric.
In another way also the heart IS
affected by the form of poor digestion.

the chest caused by pressure Of the dis
