Two Smallpox Suspects.

There are two occupants of the city
pest house. They are negroes-Fletcher
Primus and his wife Lilly Primus, who
lived on Manly street, between Worth
and South streets.
They have something resembling vario-
loid and were taken out to the pest house
yesterday morning as a matter Of precau-
ton.
Their cases were reported to the health
authorities Monday afternoon. Investiga-
ton revealed the fact that both of them
were successfully yaccinated a year ago,
and that for twenty months neither of
them has been out of the city nor near
any known case of smallpox.
But Notwithstanding these facts, and
the further fact that the negroes have
not been sick at all, save the breaking
OUT on them, it was deemed best to re-
move them to the pest house. They were
sent out there yesterday morning.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase
Of Heart Trouble

of Heart Trouble
Heart trouble, at least among the
americans is certainly increasing and
while this may'b be largely due to the ex-
element 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 trou-
bic is organic.
The close relation between heart trou-
BILE and poor digestion is because both or
cars are controlled by the same great
re.vea, the sympathetic and the Pneu-
y c,rr stric
IN ancther way also the heart is af-
fected by the form Of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. There is feeling of
oppression and heaviness in the chest
caused by pressure of the dstended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs, interfering
with their action; hence arises palpita-
ton 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 digestion and
to insure the prompt assimilation of
food. .-.-,
This can be done by the regular use af-
ter meals of some safe, pleasant and eff
fective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be
found at drug stores, and which contain
valuable, harmless digestive elements in
pleasant, convenient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular, per-
sistent use of Stuarts dyspepsia Tablets
at meal time will cure any form of stom-
ach trouble except cancer of the stom-
ach

DRUNKENNESS, WHAT IS 1T?

Alcoholism is a condition of necessity
CT the nervous system for alcohol 1t
makes no difference how or why people
begin to drink, the result is always the
same, if continued long enough for the
person to become addicted to its use Ii
produces diseased condition of the ner-
vous system. DR.. Kelley defined it as
"a condition wherein the nerve cells have
become so accustomed to performing their
duties and functions under the influence
OF alcohol that they are dependent on it
and will no longer perform those duties
and functions properly and painlessly eX-
cept when under its influence" This &C.
counts for the craving for drink, and to
bring about a cure, it is necessary to
overcome this condition. The Kelley
remedies as administered at The Kelley
Institute, Greensboro, N. c., are absolute
ly specific for this disease.
