Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.
Poor digestion often causes irregular
ity of the heart’s action. This irregu
larity may be mistaken for real, organio
heart disease. The symptoms are much
the same. There is however a vast
difference between the two: organic
heart disease is often incurable; ap
parent heart disease is carable if good
digestion be restored.
A case in point is quoted from the
New Era, of Greensburg, Ind. Mrs.
Ellen Colsom, Newpoint, Ind., a
woman 43 years old, had suffered for
four years with distressing stomach
trouble. The gases generated by the
indigestion pressed on the heart, and
caused an irregularity of its action.
She had much pain in her stomach and
heart, and was subject to frequent and
severe choking spells which were most
severe at night. Doctors were tried in
vain; the patient became worse, de
spondent and feared impending dtiath.
A Case of Heart Failure.
She was much frightened, but no
ticed that in intervals in which her
stomach did not annoy her, her heart’s
action became normal. Reasoning cor
rectly that her digestion was alone at
fault she procured the proper medicine
to treat that trouble and with immedi
ate good results. Her appetite came back,
the choking spells became less frequent
and anally ceased. Her weight, which
had been greatly reduced was restored
and ehe now weighs more than for
years. Her blood soon became pure
and her cheeks rosy.
The case is of general interest because
the disease is a very common one.
That others may know the means of
cure we give the name of the medicine

the elements necessary to give new life

Gov. W. B. Bloxham incidentally re
lated the following legend in his ad
dress welcoming the delegates of the
National Fishery Society to Tampa,
Florida:
“You meet here upon this historic
ground, where the footprints of some
of Spain’s greatest cavaliers and
America’s noblest captains can be
traced. While it Is not my intent’on to
recur to their heroic deeds or to offer
you a cup filled with the ambrosia of
ancient story, yet there is one romance,
based upon historic fact, associated
with this very spot that I feel you will
kindly Indulge should brief reference
be made thereto.
“Wherever the history of America Is
read the story of Pocahontas is kn«>wn.
The romance is most captivating, and
some of Virginias most honored sons
trace back a lineage to this daughter of
the forest But the historic fact that
a similar scene was enacted on this
very spot three-quarters of a century
before the name of Pocahontas was
ever lisped by English lips is unknown
to even many Floridans. It was here
in 1528, twelve years before De Soto
landed on Tampa Bay, that Juan Or-
tez, a Spanish youth of 18, having been
captured at Clear Water, was brought
before Hlrrlhugua. the stern Indian
chief, In whose breast was rankling a
vengeance born of the ill treatment of
his mother by the followers of the ill-
fated Narvarez. Ortez was young and
fair, but the cruel chief had given the
orders, and here was erected a gridiron
of poles, and young Ortez was bound
and stretched to meet the demands of
a human sacrifice. The torch was be
ing applied, the crackling flames began
to gather strength for a human holo
caust, when the stern chief’s daughter
threw herself at her father’s feet and
interposed in Ortez’s behalf. Her beau
ty rivaled that of the historic dame
•whose heavenly charms kept Troy and
Greece ten years in arms.’ The soft
language of her soul flowed from her
never silent eyes as she looked up
through her tears of sympathy, Implor
ing the life of the young Spaniard.
“Those tears, the ever-rea«ly weapon
of woman’s weakness, touched tho
heart of even the savage chief, and Or
tez was for the time spared.
“But the -demon of evil in a few
months again took possession of Hlrrl-
bugua, and his daughter saw that even
her entreaties would be unavailing. She
was betrothed to Mu»x>so, the young
chief of a neighboring tribe. Their love
had been plighted, that God-given love
that rules the savage breast
“Her loving heart told her that Ortez
would be safe In M ucoso ’ b keeping. At
the dead hour of night she accompan
ied him beyond danger and placed in
bis hand such token as Mucoso would
recognize.
“She acted none too soon. As the sun
rose over this sjxit, its rays fell upon
the maddened chief calling In vain for
the Intended victim of his vengeance.
His rag » was such that It dried up the
wellsprlngs of parental affection and
he refused the marriage of his daugh
ter unless Ortez was surrendere»L But
that Indian girl, although it broke the
heartstrings of hope, sacrifice*! her love
to humanity, and Mucoso sacrificed his
bride upon the altar of honor.
“Ortez lived to welcome De Soto. Tell
ne—aye, tell the world—where a bright
er example of nobler virtue was ev«>r
record« d! Where in history do you find
more genuine aad more touching illus
tration of love, charity and forgive
ness’—the very trinity of earthly vir
tues. and the brightest Jewels of the
Christian heavtn?

The 0-year-old son of a newspaper
man occasionally goes to the matinee
with his mother, but the trouble with
him is that ho becomes greatly excited,
and is apt to express his feelings in
words, to the amusement of the audi
ence, but somewhat to the annoyance
of the actors. At a recent play one of
the actors was in the act of choking
another whom he suspected of being
guilty of a crime. As the actor went
toward the supposed villain with his
hands outstretched, the boy became
greatly excited, and as the men clinch
ed the boy Btood up and called out:
“Say, let him alone, he didn’t do It"
There was a laugh from the audience
and a surprised look from the stage.
At another time. In a play where a
husband suspected his wife, and she
was pleading to be taken home and
given an opportunity to prove her In
nocence, the boy could not stand the
woman’s pleas and the husband’s cold
reception of her entreaties, and he
called out: “Please, mister, take her
back.”
The boy has not been taken to the
theater recently.—Pittsburg Chronicle-

If by proper selection and breeding one
