James w. Robertson for state Senator
from the First Senatorial district OF
Wilmington and the denomination OF
Harry II. MARI and William Il. Virden
for Representatives from the First

respectively, because they refused to
support the Wilmington City Charter

Senator Robertson voted for the IS

pledges to vote for it's repeal In 1928.

YOUR HEALTH
WHAT "SLOW HEART" MEANS
AND ITS VERY MANY CAUSES

BY ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D.
Commissioner OF Health, New York City.

JUST how the heart beats depends on the individual
and on his physical and mental condition.
j Some persons have very rapid heart action. It
may run habitually At ninety or 4 hundred beats per
minute. Usually it is about seventy. In some rare
cases it may run down to fifty or sixty, and yet to all
appearances the individual is entirely well.
Young people, and especially young women, have
greater ~rapidity Of heart action than old people. In
extreme old age the pulse is very slow.
After some Of the infectious fevers there may be
marked sowness Of the heart beat for a long time.
Diphtheria has a particular affinity for the heart, and
