Ninety-nine of every one hundred people who have heart trouble can remember when it was simple indigestion. It is a scientific fact that all cases of heart disease, not organic, are not only traceable to, but are the direct result of indigestion. All food taken into the stomach which faHs of perfect digestion ferments and swells the stomach, puffing it up against the heart. This interferes with the action of the heart, and in (he course of time that delicate but vital organ becomes diseased. Mr. D. Kauble, of Nevada, O , says: I had stomach trouble and was in a . state as I had heart trouble with k.
