Heart trouble linked to poor digestion via nerves
A 1910s style health advisory claims heart disease rises with American stress and weak digestion. It asserts most heart trouble is not organic, links digestion to heart via the sympathetic and pneumogastric nerves, and promotes Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets as a cure for stomach issues with a bold caveat against stomach cancer.
