HEART TROUBLE
and BOWELS
Nine Times Out of Ten So-CalIed Heart
Trouble Comes From Indigestion.

A person may have fiuttering heart,
heartburn, or other heart trouble and
yet have a perfectly sound heart In most
instances the trouble comes from dyspep-
STA or constipation
The experience of Mrs. Knight, Bell
view, Tenn, should interest those who
have heart trouble. For five years she
suffered from heartburn, f1uttering and
palpitation of the heart, faint spells and
other symptoms of heart trouble. She
took Dr. Caldwelps Syrup Pepsin for a
few weeks, cured her constipation and
stomach trouble and all the heart symp-
toms disappeared. Mr. Chas. Kearney.
Lake Charles, La, says: Il was afflicted
with indigestion and heartburn for years.
during most of the time taking medicine
without obtaining relief until I used DR..
Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin. Two bottles
made me entirely well. Now l eat
hearty meal and feel no bad results"
This is the experience many have re-
ported to have had.
When one is suffering from constipa-
ton the poisons of the waste matter in
the bowels goes into the blood and affects
the heart and nervous system the same
as II dose of poison had been taken
in the stomach. DIR. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin cures stomach and bowel troubles,
giving instant relief in the worst chronic
cases of constipation without pain or
grippe. 1t is for sale by most druggists at
50c and 500 bottle, or a free sample

quest to the Pepsin Syrup Co., Monticello,

Assessment of Banks.

Admission, September 2.-(Special. )-Har-
vey Jones and j. B. Powell of the state
tax commission met with the Calhoun
county board of revenue Monday after
noon and made ruling on the question
of the assessment of the banks of the
county to the effect that these institu-
lions should be assessed at go per cent of
ization basis under which all other prop
erty in the county is assessed, and they
made an assessment accordingly. 1t
seems that the commissioners court
wished to make the banks pay on a basis
of 100 per cent, which the state commits
sioners considered unfair and a dscrim-
ination against the citizens of the county
who own bank stock
