HEART DISEASE.
SoWe Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Trouble.


Increase OF Heart Trouble.
Heart trouble, at least among
Americans, is certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due
to the excitement and worry of
American business life, it is more
often the result of weak stomachs,
of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hun
dred of heart trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is be-
cause both organs are controlled
by the same great nerves, the
Sympathetic and the Pneumogas-
trio.
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 feeling OF op-
preston and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the distend-
lungs, interfering with their
action: hence arises palpltatlon
and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood, making it thin and watery.
which initiates and weakens the
heart.
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the
digestion and to insure 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-
STA Tablets, which may be found
at drug stores, and which contain
valuable. harmless digestive ele-
ments in a pleasant, convenient
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.

QUITE A ROW.

Trouble in Quitting the Coffee Habit.
For more than twenty years / used
coffee and tea. II | missed coffee for
breakfast, I had violent headache.
When l learned this, l tried to give it
up, but found that tea had the same
effect. | was a slave to both, and
would become so nervous that / hardly
knew what to do with myself II
tried to give them up.
Il often heard people say that tea
made them nervous, and l wondered
how it could do this, when it acted the
reverse with me, for my nervous head
ache would disappear at once, after
drank tea. 1t was plain that il was
hurting me, but that l had got so that
/ could not do without it.
FINALLY thought l would try Pos
tum Food Coffee, and after buying a
package and preparing it carefully, was
much surprised to find I liked it very
much, but after an hour / was suffer-
ing with q dreadful nervous headache,
which lasted all day. In the evening
I gave up and made a cup of tea,
which relieved the headache
This proved to me that / was
slave to stimulant habit, so resolved
l would give it up at once and drink
Postum, even if / did have
headache for a day or
two in breaking over the line.
l stuck to the Postum and my head
aches entirely disappeared. I began to
feel fresher and brighter than | had
for ten years. Now l crave neither
coffee nor tea, but like Postum better
than ever did either of the old drinks.
This pleases me greatly, for I am better
satisfied with the new drink than |
was with the others, and yet l am
gaining steadily in health and strength.
I always used the best grades of tea
and coffee, which are far more expen-
siye than Postum. This is another adj
vantage in the change. / would not
go back to the old slavery and bad
feelings for anything on earth. Please
do not publish my name"
The name of this lady can be had by
application to the Postum Cereal Co.,

is holding series of meetings in this
city, is attracting large crowds and
creating quite an impression on the
people Mr.. Gordon is plain, forclOle
speaker and makes his points by speak
ing so that all can comprehend. His
work in this valley has been remark
able. In Martins Ferry and Bridge
port his results were out of the ordln-
airy, and now Bellaire people are real
izing his effect and his work in this
city has done much good. Those who
are interested in such work should not
fail to hear Rev. Gordon and use their
efforts in making these meetings sue
cessful.
Louis Battelle. of Belmont street,
was pleasantly surprised Monday even
ing by about fifteen members OF his
Sunday school class calling on him.
Mr.. Battelle was much surprised, but
was equal to the occasion and enter
tanned them royalty. Delicious refresh
ments were served and all had a most
enjoyable time.
Yesterday morning Mayor Freese had
the good luck to have three plain
drunks before him who paid their fines,
and this coming on the morning OF his
reelection had the effect of placing
the Mayor in most agreeable humor.
AS to how long his good luck will last
is question.
Mrs Maggie Porterfield and son left

The Belmont oil well still remains a
mystery. Yesterday it was reported
that it was a buster and the casing
would soon be pulled out, but this
could not be confirmed and many still

Chronicle Of Daily Events from the
City of Workshops End Mills

tGfy OF workshops and Mills.
The result of the election Monday
shows that the people of this city are
not for politics only, and believed in
voting for the man, not the party.
This fully shows that the election was
a non-partisan one, and with all the
attacks on the Democratic ticket.
three were elected and all candidates
made a good run. The result of the
Democratic work astonished the Re-
publicans and they learned that this
party Of the people is gaining prestige,
and that those who are placed on that
party's ticket represent the people, not
a faction or ring.
James Tannehill. mailer at the
Laughlin mill, had the misfortune to
have his left leg broken yesterday
forenoon. The accident was caused
by large amount of nail plate falling
on him and pinning him beneath it.
Besides the fracture he was consider
ably bruised. Medical attendance was
soon on hand and he was removed to
his home on North Fifth street. The
accident will lay Mr.. Tannihill up for
several weeks. Last evening he was
resting very well.
The selection of George Cooke for
City Solicitor has caused much COM
ment over the county, and many prom
inent Democrats think he should be
the nominee for Congress in this dis
trict, as his election yesterday shows
his popularity has no equal, and for
ability no one doubts it. AS a can
didate for Congress no one can mis-
judge his ability. Mr. Cooke is the
man, and has back of him the people
who are for an able representative.
1t is said the Organization Commit
tee of the Belmont Trades and Labor
Union are making a strong fight
against the two blacksmiths that have
been placed on the unfair list by this
union. The fight will be a warm one
and will be somewhat complicated
and will involve a number of the bust
ness men of the city.
The tin department at the Aetna
Standard mill is still idle with no news
as to when it will or will not resume.
1t is still mystery and all the talk
so lar amounts to nothing, as no one
yet knows what will be done. Many
of the workers have secured places at
the Laughlin tin mill
Quite number of the Republican
politicians will go to Bellaire to-day
to attend the Congressional Conven-
tion which vii lopen to-day The prin-
cipal fight will be on national delegate
and will be quite lively.
James Murdoch, who has lived in
this city for several years, has moved
his family to Bridgeport, and will
make that town his future home.

There is quite a persistent rumor
going the rounds in oil circles which,
if nothing else, is. very interesting.
One of the biologists of the Standard
Oil Company claims there is a second
pool, below the old pool, at Manning
ton, and If an outfit can be secured to
dig hole to the depth of five thous-
and feet, it will be tested.
An employee of the South Penn Com
pany has invented a clamp for attach
ing the cable to the walking beam,
which does away with all the wear on
the cable. A test was made of it, with
a wire cable, and a weight three times
that of a Manila cable and a set OF
tools working at three thousand feet,
was suspended. The wire cable was
then subjected to all the jar of digging
for twelve hours, and at the end OF
that time showed hardly a scratch.
At present in digging hemp will
rarely stand the wear at three thous-
dIlu lGGC, duu usually Luc CdDlo DIOdho
and the tools are lost.
With the use of the new clamp and
a wire cable, the company's operators
think that they can easily attain the
desired depth 1t is said they will
make test on one of the company's
dry holes over near Smithfield: The
outcome will be watched with interest.
For should the test prove successful,
it will furnish a new departure in the
oil business, which for years oil men
have endeavored to attain without sue
cess.
Special to the Register.
ST. MARYS, w. Va, April 3.-One
of the most important oil deals in the
st. Marys field was consummated to-
day. Lew Schaffer bought the three
eighths interest of the Leonard farm
belonging to Hon. Aug NJ Campbell,
for the consideration of $4,000. The
lease consists of % acres, with seven
producing wells, and has production
of 100 barrels a day. Mr. Campbell is
selling all his investments preparatory
to moving to California.
Watt & Anderson have completed
their well on the John Boley farm,
just back of town, and have 80 barrel
we'll. This well is between this city
and developments in the Broad Run
field, and opens up an entirely new
field. The possibility of testing town
lots is not far distant nor a far
reaching conclusion
Special to the Register
CADIZ, Ohio, April 3-Myers G
Brown, who have about twenty good
producing wells on the A H. Hagey
farm in North township, have added
another to this list. In the same vi
cinity the Karg Oil Company have
drilled in a we'll on the Calcott farm,
which will produce about ten barrels
day. In the Jewett region, quite a
number OF wells are being drilled by
parties who seem to have plenty of
staying qualities. The Ohio Oil Com
pany have completed their well on the
II. Thompson farm and have a 10 to
l5 barrel pumper In the Maxwell re-
gion, near Warfel, three miles east of
Cadiz, the G. M. Hogg Company are
