How Rapid Life is Killing Our People.
UNPRECEDENTED NUMBER OF DEATHS RESULT FROM HEART DISEASE

The. fact that 125 persons died recently
in one week in New York City, from
heart disease, when the death rate the
corresponding week In 1904 was only SO,
has given rise to 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 as an
explanation by. physicians OF the condl-
tions which exist to-day.
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 a case was rare when a 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
oyer-work., Worry and excitement. to-
gether With many nerve shocks which
and hustle, are the principal causes
which snap the heartstrings.
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
be quickest repaired? Only by humor-
more healthy manner. Thus will the
blood be enriched, the nerves invigorated
and the action of an enfeebled heart
strengthened and regulated. DR.. Pierce's

Then besides Golden Seal, which, &C
