The rush, push and netss of the American people has a strong tendency to lead up to valvular and other affections of the heart, attended by Ir regular action, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distress ing svmptoms. Three of the prominent Ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Golden iMedical Dis covery Is made are recommended by somo of the leading writers on Materia Medial for the cure of just such cases. Golden Seal root, for Instance, is said by the UXITKD STATES D I SPICKS ATORY , a stand ard authority, "to impart tone and in creased power to the heart's action." Numerous other leading authorities rep resent Golden Seal as an unsurpassed tonic for the muscular system in general, and as the heart is almost wholly com posed of muscular tissue, it naturally Follows that it must be greatly strength ened by this superb, general tonic. Hut probably the moat important ingredient of " Golden Medical Discovery," so far as Its marvelous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are con cerned. is Stone root, or CallLnsonla Can., Prof. Wm. Paine, author of Paine * Epltomv of Medicine, says of it: *L not lon* since, had a patient who waa so much oppressed with vafvular disease of the heart that Ills Mtoc'ls * Cl '° obllmjd to carry him up-stalrs. Uc. however gradually recovered under the influence of Colllusoiiin (medicinal principle extracted from Stone •■ool). and U now attending to his business. Heretofore physicians knew of no remedy tor the removal of so distressing and so £an srorous a malady. With them It was all guevi- work, and It fearfully warned the afflicted that death was near at hand. Cai lLnsoaln unauestlonably affords relief In such cases, and in most instances effects a CU J§tone root Is also recommended by Drs. Hale and Elllngwood, of Chicago, for valvular and other dlsoases of the heart. The latter savsi lit is a heart tonic ol direct and rynuuient influoncc."
