al York Evening ——— E Adviceto People Who > Have Weak Hearts. The following letter and reply is an extract from the editorial page of the New SDictieal of December 28, 1899: . “T have an ailment of the heart—i. e., it beats heavily after every meal, no matter how light a meal, thereby causing much worry and expense. I have been to eight doctors, who all say ‘it is simply a functional disorder of the stomach.’ Still they cannot give me any relief with their medicines. Please do not advise me to row, box, swim, or exercise in any form, as the least exercise will set my heart abeating hard, heavily and rap- idiy. Iam anxiously awaiting your advice.” “We think we can give this man with his weak heart some good advice. First, let him rest absolutely, lying down for at least thirty minutes before he eats any-— thing, and let him rest—but NOT go to sleep—another half hour after eating. Let him try eating about 50 | er cent. of the amount which he eats now—even less, if possible. Let him take NO solids for breakfast. Let him, above all, eat very slowly, chewing every mouth- ful at least twenty times—as did Gladstone—and swal- lowing nothing without first reducing it to almost ime palpable pulp, no matter how long that may take.” “Good advice, every word of it. In addition to _ the above, the man should take a Ripaus Tabule after each meal. It will benefit him. It will benefit anybody having a like trouble. Some people think they have heart trouble when it is really only a digestive disarrangement. A Ripans Tabule, taken after eating, materially aids diges- - tion, drives away that full feeling, puts the stom- ach in prime condition, stimulates the action of the liver, and relieves the depressed and suffo- cating sensation in the chest and around the heart. There are thousands of people in all parts of the country who stoutly attest that Ripans hey - _ banish pain and prolong life. One gives relief. benefit them in many other ways also. * 10 for 5 cents, at all druggists. ™ | _ ™ 5 > OO com (e(o) [boo
