DIED SUDDENLY OF HEART DISEASE.

How frequently does a head line similar to the above greet us in the newspapers. The rush, push arid strenuousness of the American people has a strong tendency to lead up to valvular and other affections of tho heart, attended by irregular action, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distressing symptoms. Three of the prominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is made are recommended by some of the leading writers on Materia Medica for tho cure of just such cases. Golden Seal root, for instance, is said by the United States Dispensatory, a standard authority, "to impart tone and increased power to the heart’s action." Numerous other leading authorities represent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system in general,* and as the heart is almost wholly composed of muscular tissue, it naturally follows that it must be greatly strengthened by this superb, general tonic. But probably the most important ingredient of " Golden Medical Discovery,” so far as its marvelous cures- of valvular and other affections of the heart are concerned, is Stone root, or Colllnsonia Can., Prof. Wm. Paine, author of Paine’s Kpitomy of Medicine, says of it: "I. not Jong .since. had a patient who was ■o much oppressed with valvular disease of the heart that his friends were obliged to carry him up-stairs, lie, however, gradually recovered under the influence of Colllnsonin (medicinal principle extracted from Stone root), and is now attending to his. business. Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy for the removal of so distressing and so dangerous a malady. With them it was all guess-work, and it fearfully warned the afflicted that death was near at hand. Collinsontn unquestionably affords relief in such cases, aud in most Instances effects a cure.” Stone root is also recommended by Drs. Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for valvular and other diseases of the heart. The latter says: "It is a heart tonic of direct and permanent influence.* "Golden Medical Discovery,” not only cures serious heart affections, but is a most efficient general tonic and invigorator, strengthening the stomach, invigorating tho liver, regulating the bowels and curing catarrhal affections In all parts of tho system. Dr. Pierce’s Pellets cure Constipation.
