A Shock To The Community

A SHOCK TO THE COMMUNITY.

The Coroner's Verdict.

  "I had just said good bye to him, and he ran down the steps from my office laughing, throwing a joke over his shoulder as he went. He looked the picture of health and strength. Ten minute later I was called to where he lay rigid and silent on the sidewalk. His life had been snuffed out like candle." That was a friend's testimony before the coroner. The verdict of the coroner's jury was- "Died of heart failure." The next day the press chronicled the sudden taking of a well-known cititen under the familiar head of "A Shock to the Comtnunity."  Then the "street" soon ceased to remember the man so wiftly taken away.

   This no fancy sketch. Every day deaths occur in some such manner - deaths attributed to heart failure by the medical profession. Cold science has ridiculed the idea of dying of a broken heart. Hearts don't break says science. But it has to admit that

HEARTS BREAK DOWN.

   A man who has a valuable engine, gives it a good track to run on, tests its capacity and keeps well inside it, keeps it always properly lubricated and does all that is possible to get the best result with least friction. Suppose the man ran his engine careless of the water in the boiler or the fuel under the engine and regardless of the steam gage. Suppose he crowded the engine up grade, and coupled an extra car or two to the train he was pulling, regardless of the fact that he was putting every ounce of strain on the engine it could bear. What would you expect? A break down. Engine failure.

   Heart failure comes that way. The heart is little larger than a man's fist and is the most wonderful as it is the most delicate of organs. In each twenty-four hours the dual heart moves approximately six tons of blood, which is equivalent to about two barrels of blood every hour, and this without rest or pause from the first breath of infancy to the last sigh of old age. What can you expect when a man eats regardless of the nutrition which feeds the heart as well as every other organ of the body? What can you expect when he crowds this delicate engine to the uttermost, but what happens -break down, heart failure. And the tragedy of heart failure will continue to be repeated until men are warned of the peril of overwork and inadequate nutrition.

"WEAK HEARTS"

are growing too common, and the means of establishing a healthy heart action at the mud time increasing the entire physical capacity, should be interesting to everyone.

    "I had been troubled with heart trouble and catarrh of the stomach," writes Mr. W. D. Merchant, of Tylersburg, Clarion Co., Penn. "Had doctored for some time without relief, then I began to take Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I took seven bottles. Before I began to take it weighed 119 pounds, and now I weigh 176. I am working steadily and feel like a well man. I send you many thanks."

   Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is a medicine specially designed to cure diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition and to purify the blood. But the ingredients which enter into the "Discovery" include on of the best heart tonics known in medicine. So while "Golden Medical Discovery" cure the diseased stomach, it strengthens the heart and enables the pumping of an adequate blood supply to the stomach and kidneys thus improving the action of these organs.

   "I was in poor health when I commenced taking Doctor Pierce's medicine," writes Mr. Eliner Lawler, of Volga, Jefferson Co., Ind. "I had heart, stomach and lung troubles. Was not able to do any work. I had a severe cough and hemorrhage of the lungs, but after using your medicine a while I commenced to gain in strength and flesh, and stopped coughing right away. I took about six bottles of the 'Golden Medical Disco very.' I feel like a different person. I gladly recommend your medicine to all sufferers, for I know it cured me."     Physical strength is made from food properly digested and assimilated. But the sum of physical strength is made up of the strength of each physical organ. A man's strength is made up of heart strength, liver strength, kidney strength, lung strength, etc, in combination, and all this strength is created and tained by the nutrition derived from food. Hence it is easy to see that when the stomach and its allied organs are diseased and the nutrition of the body is reduced, that the consequent weak body means weakness of its organs, "weak" heart, "weak" lungs, "weak" kidneys, etc. And when "Golden Medical Discovery " has cured diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive tracts, strength comes back to the body and its several organs in the only way which strength can be made, that is by the nutrition derived from food properly digested and assimilated. Hence disease of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other organs are cured by "Golden Medical Discovery" when as is frequently the case these diseases have their origin in the diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition.

   The motive for substitution is to enable the dealer to make the little more profit paid on the sale of less meritorious medicines. When a dealer offers a substitute medicine claiming it to be "just as good " as "Golden Medical Discovery," remember that he is the only person who can possibly profit by the substitution. His profit is your loss.
