Heart troubles, at least among the Americans, aro certainly increasing, and while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of Ami rl enn business life. It Is moro often the result of wenk stomachs, of poor di gestion. Renl organic disease Is Incurable; but not one case In n hundred of heart trouble Is organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor ingestion Is because both organs are controlled by the same gteat nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneuinogastiic. In unother way, also, tin- heart Is affected by the form of poor digestion, which i auses gus and fermentation ftom half digested tood; there Is a feeling of oppression and heaviness In the ( best caused by pressure of the dis tended stomach on the heart and lungs, Interfering with their action: thence arises palpitation and short breath. Poor digestion also poisons the blood, making It thin and watery, which ir ritates and weakens tho heatt. The most sensible treatmtut for heart trouble Is to Improve the diges tion and to ln-ure tho prompt assimi lation of food. This can be done by the regular use after meals of some safe, pleasant and effective digestive preparation like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, harmless di gestive elements lu a pleasant, con venient form. It Is safe to say that the regular, persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets ut meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble, except can cer of the stomach. Full size pnckiige of these tablets sold by druggists at R0 cents. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F.

THE RK1HT OF HEALTH can be assured to ninety-eight women out of every hundred. This assurance is given by Dr. Pierce after more than thirty years' experience in the treatment and cure of female diseases, in which time he has confidentially treated, with assistance of his staff of trained specialists, over half a million ailing women. CONSIDER CAREFULLY THESE FACTS A woman's general health depends on the local health of the delicate, womanly organs. When these are deranged or diseased, the complexion becomes sallow or muddy, there are dark rings under the eyes, the back aches, there is nervousness, restlessness and irritability. Following debilitating drains or female weakness, the body loses its roundness as the face loses its fairness. Cure these local diseases, drive out these aches and pains, and the complexion becomes bright and clear and the body regains its graceful lines and curves. WOnAN'S LOCAL HEALTH can be restored. Facts prove it. Ninety-eight times in every hundred cases, female diseases are cured by Dr. Pierce. This great ereentage is not based upon the treatment and cure of a few hundreds, but upon the treatment and cure of more than five thousand hundreds. HALF A MILLION WOHEN, and more, have been restored to the enjoyment of the right of health by Dr. R. V. Pierce. Are you one of the two women whose condition can not be perfectly cured ? Or are you one of the ninety-eight who can be perfectly and permanently cured by Dr. Pierce ? You can find out with little trouble and no expense. Any sick woman is invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely without charge or fee. Write fully and fearlessly. Your letter will be read in private, . woman's medical PR.
