fermentation after eating and consequent obstruction of the hearts action. Toxic influences constitute frequent source of cardiac pain Chief among the agents belonging to this class is tobacco. To some persons tobacco may be a pow erful poison, while to others 1t is com parently harmless. It may be accepted, however, as the result of experienced, that tobacco produces more pronounced and more persistent sensory effects than many other poisons.
 In the greater proportions of such toxic cases absolute recovery takes place and the production of the sensory symptoms Is therefore probably due to chemical combination between the poison of to- bacco and the protoplasm of the nervous structures-not to any deleterious change in the latter.
 However, the nicotine affects these nerve structures in largo degree and does in time, by it's constant pressure, produce maNSed changes. ~
 I have pointed out the danger of smok- ing and the warning signals smokers should watch for. In general only these rules can be laid down:
 Smoke moderately.
 Smoke the best cigars.
 Don't smoke cigarettes.
 Don't smoke at all if you are inherently disposed to consumption or any lung,
 
 Take advantage of the first warning that smoking is injuring you and quit.

the so-called smokers tongue", es pecially since General Grants affliction Opinions on the subject vary
 By the name of smokers tongue' is understood an altered condition of epi- thelium of the upper surface of the tongue. due to smoking. In the most typi- cal instances the patch upon the tongue appears about the middle of the front part of the dorsum, just where the end of the pipe or cigar rests-where the stream of smoke impinges on the sur face of the tongue. The affected area is not always limited to this region alone, but has tendency to spread slowly until the whole upper surface becomes in- volved. The inside of the cheeks Is liable to become similarly diseased, particu- larly along the line where the teeth meet
 If the contemplated tunnel to Brook constitution is well known Nicotine very rapidly enters the blood from all surfaces. but does not directly affect the blood cells. All the organs are quickly reached by nicotine. It acts chiefly upon the ner- vous structures. which it first stimulates. if given in very minute doses, but after ward depresses in an extreme degree, causing intense and universal debility. which with the local irritation of the allmenlafy canal, prOuuctS d coHuitioii oi collapse.
 The action of tobacco upon the heart Is not, contrary to general belief, directly the cause of death. The action of the heart Is first diminished. then accelerated and finally weakened with slowing, but sometimes in these cases the heart beats after respiration has ceased and death has ensued. Physiologically speaking, the blood pressure falls, rises and falls again with the cardiac action and from direct central and perpheral effect on the vasor- motor apparatus. The temperature also falls.
 The above are the exaggerated physio- logical symptoms which are observed in the tobacco heart of smokers, and should be considered a signal for the inn mediate reduction of or total abstinence from smoking. I believe the sudden death of many man has been due to tobacco heart" and this I consider especially true of the sudden death of many of our public men, who, we are told, expired without warning, generally after having eaten heartily The mechanical action of the heart, weakened by excessive smoking. could not withstand the strain caused by

Women as We'll as Men are Made Miserable by Kidney and

It used to be considered that only uri- nary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs.

 "He is doubtless trying to melt your honor's heart" said the sheriff.
 DO you think so?" asked the judge. "I have had heart trouble lately and I didn't know exactly what was the cause. Now that you speak of it, I recall that l do have a faint feeling when Lawyer Boozle begins to talk"
 "He makes me sick, too, your honor" said the clerk. "I don't see why people continue to employ him. He never wins a case.'

 That shirt is certainly loud" said the clerk Your honor might fine him for disorderly conduct"
 "Its no use," said the judge. "He would pay his fine and continue to wear the shirt"
 "He will wear it out in time," said the clerk.
 By that time." said the judge, "I will also be worn out. In the meanwhile play ball"

 "No sir. I've been to the funeral" said Annie.

 'I think you are unjust, judge" said Annie. T have really been overworked." '"
 How so?' asked the judge.
 Besides my regular occupation in the wholesale liquor business, I have been paying my husbands funeral expenses or the installment plan,' said Annie.
 'If you would reverse matters and drink on the installment plan and go into the wholesale funerals of husbands you would be better off, said the judge. "He was my third, judge" said Annie. I'm doing the best can"

swamp-Root So Pleasant to Take.

You have no idea how well I feel I am satisfied that I do not need any more medicine, as I am in as good health as I ever was in my life" So says Mrs Mary Engelhard, of 2S35 Madison street St. Louis Mo-. to a reporter of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 For more than ten years suffered with what the doctors termed female trouble; also heart trouble, with swell ing of the feet and limbs. Last summer 1 felt so badly that I thought I had not long to live. I consulted doctor after doc tor and took their medicines, but felt no better. A friend recommended me to try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and I must say l derived immense benefit almost from the first week. I continued the med icine, taking it regularly, and am now in splendid health, The pains and aches have all gone. I have recommended Swamp-Root to all my friends, and told them what it has done for me. I will gladly answer any one who desires to write me regarding my case I most heart fly indorse Swamp Root from every standpoint. There Is such pleasant taste to Swamp Root. and it goes right to the weak spots and drives them out of the system"

During three years I was frequently attacked with severe spells of sickness; many Of these sick spells kept me in bed, dangerously i'll, from three weeks to three months, under the constant care of the best physicians of Kansas City The doc tors said my kidneys were not affected, but 1 felt sure they were the cause of my trouble
 Some doctors pronounced my case gall stones, and said I could not live without a surgical operation, to which I would never consent A friend suggested I try pr. kilmer's Swamp-Root. I began to take Swamp-Root regularly. and when l had used only three fifty-cent bottles l felt fine and was able to do more work than l had done in four years It has made new woman of me. I have had only one slight attack since I began to take Swamp-Root, and that was caused by being drenched with rain and catching cold. Stomach trouble had bothered me for years and had become chronic I am now A years of age and feel much young CT than I did ten years ago.

back up their prediction that Senator

Senator Hanna Rs successful manager

but Senator Hanna as candidate for
