Heart
Weakness

The action of the heart de-
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or eX-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart fut-
tiers, palpitates, skips beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul-
ders. The circulation is inn
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack of nourish-
ment.

a heart strong and vigorous by

muscles.

st. Petersburg. July @.-The public
prosecutor has started proceedings against
the members of the lower house of parlia-
ment who signed the Vlborg manifesto.
The charge under which the signers of
the manifesto will be brought to trial Is
violation of article 129 of the criminal
code, which provides for "attempts TO
overthrow the existing government"
This is virtually high treason, the max-
imum penalty is hard labor In the mines.
No arrests have yet been reported. and
the constitutional democrats do not anti

representatives 1t is understood that the
arrested will be admitted to bail pending
trial.
The constitutional democrats are chiefly
apprehensive that the possibility of prose
cution held over the heads of their lead
ers will render them ineligible for re-
election, in the same manner that Profess
sor Milukoff and NJ. Hessel and others
were excluded from the last lower house.
