HEART TROUBLE

The heart itself has no power-no
SELF control IL Is made to beat by "a
tender nerve so tiny that II Is scarcely
visible To the naked eye. Yet ten thou
sand times a day this delicate nerve
must assist the heart TO expand and
contract.
This nerve Is only one of the
branches OF the great sympathetic. or
INSIDE, nerve system. Each branch
of this system Is so closely allied with
the others that weakness or irregu-
larity al any point Is apt to spread.
Heart trouble frequently arises from
stomach trouble through sympathy.
ana Kidney trouble may also follow.
For each OF these organs Is operated
by branch OF these same sympathetic

to the Legislature, with the exception of
q few small Maryland companies were in
condition to and did promptly and fully
pay for these losses clearly demonstrates
the wisdom of the prudent and conservative
policy followed in recent years of acoumu-
lating sufficient and ample surplus funds
Notwithstanding the fact that these
extraordinary losses would naturally re-
suit in a depreciation of tho assets and
SURPRISES of the various companies affected,

department show fairly good Increase in
both assets and surplus in consequence Of
the very great advance in the market value
of their securities.
