Every
Heart Beat

Forces about 8 ounces of blood
out OF the heart, and sends it
coursing through the veins to
the remotest part of the body.
This is the amount required by
nature to nourish and sustain
your body. Every ounce less
than this means a shortage in
natures supply of building-up
material. A weak heart cannot
meet this demand, and conse-
quently you suffer. If your
heart skips a beat, or futters,
palpitates, pains you, or you
have shortness Of breath, you
may be sure that the heart is
