No! until we read this instructive treatise did we have the true conception of how wonderful is the work of tinhuman heart We quotL by special permission of the author the following from the pre- I face: "Very few people haveiever} given the attention to their hearts that this important | organ warrants. Tills wonderful little ma- ; chine which is not much larger than your ' hand, and only about two and a half inches thick, labors day and night without rest, per- I forming such an enormous amount of work as I to be almost beyond belief. Physiologists say each pulsation, or contraction of the I heart exerts 50 pounds of force,which amount s |

I 3.600 a minute. 216.000 an hour, and the inconceivable number of 5.4M,(M0 in a single day! Now. it is necessary that all this vast amount ' of lal>or should be done, and well done every day. The health will surely suffer in eonsei quence of the least failure on the part of the heart to properly perform its duties. When ; it is weak or deranged it directly affects every organ in the human body and they are unable to perform their duties from lack of- - and nerve force. Those organs that are more intimately associated with the heart are usually first to feel the effects when it is irregular and fails to perform its proper func- ' tions.” i This treatise is very artistically illustrated with colored plates, and although stricttly scientific. It is written in a popular language. . making it very interesting reading for all rhe editor of this paper has made special arrangement with the publishers to have this treatise sent free to any reader who sends a postal card and mentions this paper, to The Miles Company.
