THE WEAK HEART.
How to flake If Strong If Not Or
 ganically Affected.

G~AAAS~ANy <AAAS~<SNs
 There seems to be something more noticeable to the owner about a weak heart than weak head, says the New York Medical Times. The possessor of weak head, as a rule, finds that it both CTS him very little; in fact, it is generally source of great com fort to him, such being the wise provision of nature. Possible lack of brains also is too common a complaint to attract much at tention from the world at large. When it comes to the average weak heart, however, it insists on being evident on all occasions; if the owner rushes for street car at unusual speed he is given q turn of breathlessness that may both CT him all day. If he climbs sey- eral unaccustomed flights ofstairs, again he is warned of his weak pumping organ. This brings him in time to the doctor with the story that he fears he has heart disease. But genuine weak hearts are not as common as we might suppose-many smoker has an instability of that organ due to tobacco which has not really af- fected its strength, as the symp- toms would point out. Many a dyspeptic planes it on his heart; ]; many tight-lacing woman as cribes her heartlessness to this much-maligned organ. If we can relieve the dyspepsia, stop the ex- cessive smoking or tight lacing the weak heart disappears. Again, even if the heart is really weak it may be only a symptom of general lack of tone, which may be easily removed.
