14 THE SAN F ADVEETISEMENTS. HEART DISEASE. Some Pacts Regarding the Bapid In- crease of Heart Trouble. Heart troubles, at least. among the Americans, are certain]y increasing, and while this may be largely due to the ex- citement and worry of American business lite. it is more often the result of weak stomachs, of poor digestion. Real organic disease is incurable, but not one case in a hundred of heart trouble | is organic. The clgge relation between heart trouble { and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric. In another way, also the heart is af- fected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, interfer- ing with their action, hence arises pal- pitation and short breath. Poor digestion alsé poisons the blood, mcking it thin and watery, which irri- tctes and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment-for heart troubie is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can be -done by the regular use atter meals of some safe, pleasant and ef- fective digestive prepgration, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores, and which contain valuable, & pleasant, convenient form. It is safe to say that the regular, per- | ent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets meal time will cure any form of tomach trouble except cancer of the mach. ull sized package of these tablets sold by druggists at 50 cents.

The cause of death | is thus stated: “Gangrene of both walle | of the stomach and pancreas, following | gunshot wound.” p The report itself is remarkable for its | exhibition in the closest possible detail of mortal illness. It is in the shape of a ship's log, almost, showing at intervals | of & very few minutes, sometimes a single minute, rarely more than an hour, the | patient’s progress toward the end. But | perhaps the most valuable data contained from a medical point of view is.the ac- curate registering of the medication of | the case—not a single morsel of food nor a dose of medicine or bath is omitted in this account. ¥Jgcluded in the running story | at the pm\r intervals are the bulletins | which were 'given to the public as e | case progressed. | The report begins with an account of the first operation at the Emergency Hos- pital September 6, the two wounds being described exactly as they have been treated In the preceding medical reports, Dr. Rixey stating that all the physiclans present agreed to immediate laparotomy, makes his first entry at 5:30 p. m., when Dr. Mann made a vertical incision passing through the wound, and found at the very | beginning a plece of cloth carried in by the bullet. - Eight minutes later strych- nine was administered hypodermicall Some time after that brandy was admin- istered in the same manner and then mor- phine likewise was administered. ~This same appiication became necessary five minutes after the patient arrived at the Milburn house, the result being an un- proved pulse, but slight nausea.

Specfal Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGELES, Oct. ‘To-day’s rainstorm, the total precipitation ~of which amounted to 1.74 inches, though not unprecedented is unusual, for the average rainfall for October during the past twenty-three years has been less than one inch. - To-day's rain, ~which started at 1:30 o'clock this morning and continued Intermittently till § o’clock this cvening, was a steady, even fall, a “warm rain,” such as the farmers love. The usual trouble in the streets oc- curred, miniature rivers presenting them- elves for the passenger to ford. A fail- cr's shop on Broadway was the only building that suffered severely. Its defec- tive skylight and a stopped waste pipe Jet the water through and damaged $i000 worth of goods. The storm will be of benefit in starting grass, as well as putting -the ground into £ood shape for plowing. Some damage will be done to grain that is not properly housed, and there is still consjderable un- threshed in the south, where/it has been difficult to handle the crop. Raisins and grapes are mostly out of the way, but fruit drying will be retarded. San Luis Obispo_had a heavy soaking, the figure up to 5 o'clock this morning being 1.08 inches. Beans will suffer most | as much_ harvesting still remains to be done in Ventura County. BSuch beets as are still in the ground will derive benelit from the rain. SAN DIEGO, Oct. 26.—After two days of overclouded’ skles, a light rain began falling here at 7:30 o'clock this morning, which has continued with intermissions during the day. But slight precipitation has been recorded at the local weather office and no heavy rains have fallen in the interior. There is a'steady south wind, with heavy rain clouds, and there is every prospect for a downpour to-night. PASADENA, Oct. 26.—A soaking rain began at 1:30 o'clock this morning, contin- uing without a break all day. About three inches of rain fell in the past twen- ty-four hours. The fruit crop is all in and the downpour will do lotg of good. MONTEREY, Oct. 2.—Rain has becn falling here and throughout this district at intervals since dawn, with every indi- cation of a heavy downpour during ihe night. SANTA ANA, Oct. 26.—Rain began de- scending at 5 o'clock this morning and continued steadily throughout the day. This is the first rain of the season and the benefits will be far-reaching in agri- cultural pursuits, though threshing and walnut gathering will be considerably de- layed. SAN MIGUEL, Oct. 2%.—The first rain of the season is now falling. Much grain is stiil in the fields and will be somewhat damaged. GILROY, Oct. 26.—Light showers fell here yesterday afternoon and last night, amounting to 0.18 of an inch. A MARIA, Oct. 26.—Nearly one and a half inches of rain had fallen up to noon to-day. Thousands of acres of white beans are unthreshed, and the damaze will be considerable. BAKERSFIELD, Oct. 2.—Following a high wind, whiéh blew down fences and filled the air with dust, rain began falling at 11 o’clock last night and continued at intervals until 10 o’clock this morning.

One railroad man shot another to death, and was exonerated by the Coroner’s jury sev- eral hours later. Brakeman J. W. Newby was the victim, and Conductor William Page his slayer. The tragedy occurred at noon on Thursday, as the crowds of men from the McCloud lumber camp mifls were moving about. There were many wit- nesses. Page and Newby were upon a Tumber train of the McCloud Railroad. On Thurs- day morning, while their train was mov- ing through the woods, Page and Newby quarreled.

A man who has suffered for years and ' years with kidmey trouble and nervous disorders, has tried doctor after doctor without benefit, and finally tries Peruna and receives a permanent cure, such g mar ought to recommend Peruna. He certainly would be a curious individual it he did not do so. Yet the fear of notoriety and the preju- dice against proprietary remedies keep many men from recommending Peruna, even when they have been practically snatched from the grave by using it. Yet in spite of all these things, men of high and low station are enthusiastically prais- ing Peruna in public print and private conversation. Hon. Edward G. Wade, of the United States Census Department, is one of the men in high station who belleves that the whole world ought to know the tues of Peruna. Having been cured him- self his gratitude is so great that he is willing to use every honorable means to let others know it. No other remedy n the world is making such a multitude of different cures. ‘W. C. Hamilton, Sergeant Thirty-sev- enth U. S.

I considered myself a wreck for life. and as I have seen so many soldiers whose health was forever ruined, life looked pretty dark to me. Our colonel had in the meantime been using Peruna for a similar trouble and as it seemed to help him advised me to try it. Thank God that I did. It slowly brought me back to life and health.

OLD MINER’S BEQUEST BRINGS THEM RICHES Three Trinity County Men Sell a Gold Producer That Was Willed to Them. REDDING, Oct. 26.—The sale of a well known Trinity County gold mine was ac- complished in Redding this morning. The Lappin mine was sold for $110,000. The purchasers are coal and iron capitalists of Pittsburg, represented by J. K. Flem- ing. The mine is sold by Ernest Dozler, who procured an option on it from the owners, Jesse F. Tourtellote, Deputy Sherift of Trinity County, and R. E. Cochran and M. A. Brady of Weaver- ville. Five tunnels have been run into the mine. It has been worked for five years by the three young men, who inherited it from a friend, and has paid well. It was discovered years ago by an old prospec- tor named Lappin. He did not believe in tunnels, having a fear of working under- ground, but he kept himself supplied with gold by digging it loose at the surface with a crowbar and scraping it out with a hoe, Lappin had no relatives. When his death was near he willed the mine to the three young men, who now sell for a handsome sum. Signal Service for Santa Barbara.
