Weak
Hearts

Are due to indigestion. Ninety-nine Of every
one hundred people who have heart trouble
can remember when il was simple indiges-
ton. II is a scientific fact that all cases Of
heart disease, not organic, are not only
traceable to, but are the direct result of indi-
gcstion. All food taken into the stomach
which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, putting it up against the
heart. This interferes with the action Of
the heart, and in the course of time that
delicate but vital organ becomes diseased.
