Wonderful Jimmy Michael, in recom- mending Paine's Celery Compound, said:
 Boston, Mass, Feb. H. 1897. After the exertion of my record rides, I was advised to use Paine's Celery Com pound.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
 crease of Heart Trouble.

Heart trouble, at least among the Americans, is certainly increasing, and while this may be largely due to the ex- citement 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- ble is organic.
 The close relation between heart trou- ble and poor digestion Is because both organs arc controlled by the same great nerves the Sympathetic and Pneumo- gastric.
 in another way, also the heart Is af- iected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from balf disested food. There Is feeling of onpression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended 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 1t thfn and watery, which irrl- tatts and weaKens the heart.
 The most sensible treatment for heart trouble Is to improve the digestion and 10 insure the prompt assimilation of food,
 This can be done by the regular use after meals Of some safe, pleasant ana effective digestive prepafatiorft like Stu arts Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, ana WHICH contain valuable, harmless digestive ele- meffts In pleasant, convenient form.
 It is safe Ito say that the regular per sistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stom- ach trouble except cahcer of the stom- ach.
