SOME FACTS REGARDING THE RAPID INCREASE OF HEART TROUBLES. Do Not be Alarmed. Rue Look for the Caute. Heart troubles, at least among the Americans, are certainly increasing, and, while this may be largely due to the excitement and worry of American business life, 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 close relation between heart trouble and poor diges tion is because both organs are con trolled by the same great nerves, the sympathetic and pneumogastric. In another way, also, the heart is affected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of op pression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stomach on the heart and lungs, inter fering with their action; hence arises palpitation and short breath. Poor di gestion also poisons the blood, making It thin and watery, which irritates and weakens the heart. The most sensible treatment of heart trouble is to improve the digestion and to insure the prompt assimilation of food. This can be done by the regu lar use after meals of some safe, pleas ant, and effective digestive preparation, like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at most drug stores and which contains valuable, harmless di gestive elements in a pleasant, conven ient form. It is safe to say that the regular, persistent use of Stuart’s Dys pepsia Tablets at meal time will cure any form of stomach trouble except cancer of the stomach. Full sized package of these tablets sold by drug gists at 50c. Little book on stomach troubles mailed free. Address F. A. Stuart Company, Marshall, Mich.—adv. THE SAVANNAH PKEsfe: FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 24. 1899. FAURE’S BURIAL WAS ORDERLY. i No Disturbance at Funeral of Late President. France Has That Much to be Thankful For. Funeral Procession Was an Imposing Sight. Many American Flags Seen Along the Line. German Emperor’s Envoys Veritable Giants. New York, Feb. 24.— A. dispatch toq The Tribune from Paris says: "Perfect order, if not reverence,! marked the passage of Felix Faure's ; funeral procession, not only along the ; Place de la Concorde and the fashiona- I ble thoroughfares, but especially in the ' turbulent district skirting Belleville and extending from the Boulevard Se bastopol to Pere la Chaise cemetery. “President Loubet, in plain evening ' dress, with the broad ribbon of the Le-1 glon of Honor, and wearing a silk hat, I attended by the prime minister, thel president of the chamber, and the vice president of the senate, walked behind the hearse from the Elysce palace to Notre Dame, and thence to Pere la Chaise, a distance of Ave and a half miles. “At no point in this long route was j there a solitary derisive shout or Jeer. I "It was the most Imposing sight seen in Paris in many years. “The sun shone bright from a cloud less blue sky upon the brilliant uni forms of the troops, upon the dazzling scarlet robes and ermine of the magis trates. upon the superb black and sil ver hearse, drawn by six jet black horses caparisoned in silver and black and decked with Jet ostrich plumes. “Each horse was led by a groom In black and silver. “The street lamps, burning beneath graceful festoons of crepe gauze, gave to the city, the appearance of a vast chaps lie ardente. "Wreaths from foreign sovereigns and heads of' state were each borne upon silver anaj black chariots drawn by black by sllverlaced grooms. rlx yards in diameter, the handsomest , of all being that of the queen regent of Spain, consisting of Parma violets and I orchids. “Emperor William’s wreath of dark violets and orchids was already halt : faded. "The wreath of the president of the United States, composed of white lilies i and roses, was much admired. “Flora! wreaths from associations ' and from cities and towns throughout . France, each borne by six firemen in brass helmets, were so numerous and profuse as literally to perfume the air , as they passed along the Place de la , Concorde. 1 “A prominent Parisian Aorist esti- ■ mates that the cost of the Aowers in , the cortege exceeded 3,000,000 francs. : “After the French tri-colOr, the Hags 1 which were most numerous and con spicuous were those of Russia and the < United States. “Seldom have so many American j flags been displayed in Paris and sei- | dom, Indeed, on such a public occasion have so few British Hags been seen. 1 ‘The German emperor's special en voys to represent him received mark ed attention, for they were veritable i giants, one of them, Major Pluskow of the First regiment of footguards, be- | ing nearly seven feet tall. "He is reputed to be the tallest offl- ; ccr in the German army. “They marched abreast and, with i white plumed helmets, threw all other officers Into the shade, not excepting the Russian military envoys in scarlet ( and gold. I "Another feature of the pageant widely cemented upon was the promi nence accorded to the magistrature ; and judiciary, not only of Lyons, Mar- : seilles, and other cities, all of whom;: were resplendant in their long. flowing I; scarlet robes, with broad bands of er- |: mine. ■ “Sixty thousand troops -were massed j ■ in and around Paris and the police were;: present in overwhelming force, fully : determined to nip in the bud the Arst; * sign of disorder. “Not since the stormy days when ! l * I - Constans killed Boulangerism has,: there been such a thorough and irre- I j sistable array of police, backed by a ■ military force and directed by such a i i masterly hand. “President »Loubet's firmness and I courage are universally commended. ! i "The new police regulations inforced | today and tonight were essentially his ■ own personal work. "He evidently has a firm grasp of the ; handle of the broom. ; "The day being a national holiday : the streets were thronged with gen- ; uine workmen and real people, whose : attitude toward the republic and its ; new president was that of unmistaka- : ble devotion and respect. s "Professional patriots, the paid row- j dies of the Nationalist demonstrations, : were completely overawed, as was also | the fashionable groups of Bonapartists, ■ j New Springs for Old Buggies ; g and the best springs for new buggies—any side-bar 1 s vehicles.

"A few Insignificant brawls in the Place des Nations and also at the Libre Parole office and elsawhere tonight, under the auspices of Deroulede and Millevoye, which promptly ended In their being arrested, are regarded as exceptions which prove the rule that President lyoubet's firmness has given to the republic an unexpected vitality, even In Paris, where, however, It is ad mitted that the president lacks that prestige and panache of which the Pa risians are so fond.” GLORIOUS NEWS comes from Dr..D.
