A care for palpitation of the ' heart
has been given to tho world by a med
ical correspondent, an account of which
we take from tho Medical Times of
London. As a great many people are
subject to "tho disease, it would be well
for them tu takd a note ot what the
correspondent; advises. ' Palpitation,
when not depending upon organic dis

adds that ' the effact is more rapidly
produced by holding the breath for " a
lew seconds, while the bady is in this .
bent position. The above has been
tried by a- medical friend. of urs, 'who
is subject to the disease, and he says
the effect is wonderful. As soon as he
placed himself in tho position describ
ed, the palpitation was immediately
stooped, i ' '
