SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID
INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES-
Do Not Be Alarmed, but Look for
tho Cause.
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.

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, .
