1t is the engine that forces
the blood to every part of the
body; this blood conveys the
nourishment that makes flesh,

If the heart futters or palpi-
tates, it is weak, and is work
ing imperfectly, so that the
body does not get this nourish-
ment; it also fails to throw off
the impurities, and they re-
main TO poison the system.
If it is irregular, skips beats,
or is painful, the heart is prob
ably "leaky" and the circulation
poor. These conditions are
dangerous. You can make
your heart well, and keep it
