HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease Of Heart Troubles.
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look fer the
Cause.

Heart troubles, at least among Amcri-
cans. are certainly increasing. and while
this may be largely due to the excitement
and worry of American business life. it
il; more often the result Of weak stom-
achs. or poor digestion.
Real. organic heart disease Is incurablc:
hut not one case IN a hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The Close relation between heart trou-
bic and poor digestion is because both
organs are controlled by branches of the
same great nerves, the Sympathetic and
PneumogaStric.
In another way also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion
which causes gas and fermentation from
half digested food. there is a feeling Of
oppression and heaviness in the chest.
caused by pressure of the distended stom-
ach on the heart and lungs. interfering

Berlin, Feb. THE Reichstag, Sat-

one year the maintenance of the army
at it's present peace strength. 1t was
generally predicted before the last cleo

There is only one way to purify tho

ever see n person blessed with a healthy.
vigorous stomach and digestion who had
impure blood, muddy. sallow complexion.
or who had weak nerves. sle2plesS nights
and the thousand and one pains and
aches arising from poor digestion? No.
because perfect digestion converts the
food eaten into pure blood. strong nerves.
and muscles, and ell the flesh 4 person
needs to have for health, symmetry, and
beauty.
Every persons knows whether or not his
or her digest ion il what it should he. hut
every person does not know what is the
safest and best way to secure and pre-
serve a healthy condition of the digestive
organs. 1t is rot done by the use OF any

the use of certain harmless digestive
principles, which taken at meals. Will

Prince George told lis a story about
his brother. Prince C"lrad. he
said was fond OF boar hunting and
was always adding to his collection
boar hounds.
Once in the forest he met peas
ant with a handsome hound.
Will you sell that dog" he said.
Not for less than 800 crowns,
your highness.' said the peasant.
" oh, but that is too much,' the
prince objected.
But the prince was eloquent and
persuasive. With innumerable i'll
stances he proved that the dog never
failed in running down boars-that he
was fearless and invincible. The
prince at last bought him at the exor-
bitant price the man asked.

thought he had got a bargain. His
10y was great the next morning
when the new hound started a boar
and raced off after it.

lowed the chase as fast as he could.
