The fact that 1875 persons died recently
in one week in New. York City, from
heart disease, when the death rate the
corresponding week in 1904 was only 80,
has given rise 10 the belief among ply.
sicians that New York residents, and
American people generally, for that mat,
ter, are living too rapidly. The strain Of
business and cares attendant on fierce
competition and the Worry attendant on
anxiety to gain wealth are given az an
explanation by physicians OF the condl-
tlons which exist to-day.
Doctors have established the fact that
the nerve forces which control the stom-
ach and the heart are affected by the
hurry Of men in the daily scramble to
bolt their food, In order to quickly resume
their exciting careers Many young men
now succumb to heart disease, where 80
years ago, q case was rare when person
under 30 years OF age died from this
malady.
Women are also victims. This is at
tributed to the manner in which they
worry over social engagements, also to
over-work. Worry and excitement, to-
gether with many nerve shocks. which
come to all In their daily. life, Of hustle
and hustle, are the principal causes
which snap the heartstrlngs.
We Americans, both men and women,
are living too fast. We work too hard
and worry too much. How can the strain
be best contracted and the damage done
Ing and assisting the mach to act In a
more healthy manner. Thus will the
blood be enriched, the nerves invlgorated
and the action Of an enfeebled heart
strengthened and regulated. DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery contains just
the right ingredients to do this, as will

Then besides Golden Seal, which, ac-
cording to the best medical authorities,
stands at the head of all stomach and
heart tonics and invigorators, there is
Stone root (Collinsonia Canadensis), (which
enters largely into the composition of

acknowledged stomach and heart tonic
especially superior to all other remedies
in valvular and other affections of the
heart. The late Prof. VIM. Paine, M. D.,
of Phila., says in his work on Concen-
trated Medicines:

was so much oppressed with a,,valvular
disease of the heart that his friends were

~rinciple of Stone root), and is now at
