<p>Attention:</p>=20
<p>Right now, there is a silent killer sweeping our great Nation at an ev=
er-increasing speed.</p>=20
<p>And if you are over 60 years old, you' re a prime target, and in immed=
iate danger of becoming the next victim.</p>=20
<p>WARNING: Don' t think for a minute that feeling fine now means you can=
shrug this off until tomorrow.</p>=20
<p>There are absolutely no symptoms.</p>=20
<p>No warning signs.</p>=20
<p>No chance to say goodbye.</p>=20
<p>This is a <strong>serious threat</strong>, and is being ignored by mos=
t mainstream media outlets.</p>=20
<p>So to learn how to protect yourself and those you love, <a href=3D"=

<p>Four Things Happen Before A Heart Attack<br /> There is scarcely, per=
haps, a spectacle on the surface of the globe more remarkable, either in a =
geological or picturesque point of view than that presented by the petrifie=
d forest, near Cairo. The traveller, having passed the tombs of the caliphs=
, just beyond the gates of the city, proceeds to the southward, nearly at r=
ight angles to the road across the desert to Suez, and after having travell=
ed some ten miles up a low barren valley, covered with sand, gravel, and se=
a shells, fresh as if the tide had retired but yesterday, crosses a low ran=
ge of sandhills, which has for some distance run parallel to his path. The =
scene now presented to him is beyond conception singular and desolate. A ma=
ss of fragments of trees, all converted into stone, and when struck by his =
horse's hoof ringing like cast iron, is seen to extend itself for miles and=
miles around him, in the form of a decayed and prostrate forest. The wood =
is of a dark brown hue, but retains its form in perfection, the pieces bein=
g from one to fifteen feet in length, and from half a foot to three feet in=
thickness, strewed so closely together, as far as the eye can reach, that =
an Egyptian donkey can scarcely thread its way through amongst them, and so=
natural that, were it in Scotland or Ireland, it might pass without remark=
for some enormous drained bog, on which the exhumed trees lay rotting in t=
he sun. The roots and rudiments of the branches are, in many cases, nearly =
perfect, and in some the worm-holes eaten under the bark are readily recogn=
izable. The most delicate of the sap vessels, and all the finer portions of=
the centre of the wood, are perfectly entire, and bear to be examined with=
the strongest magnifiers. The whole are so thoroughly silicified as to scr=
atch glass and are capable of receiving the highest polish.-- _Asiatic Maga=
zine_. {*3} The Mammoth Cave of Kentucky. {*4} In Iceland, 1783. {*5} "=
;During the eruption of Hecla, in 1766, clouds of this kind produced such a=
degree of darkness that, at Glaumba, which is more than fifty leagues from=
the mountain, people could only find their way by groping. During the erup=
tion of Vesuvius, in 1794, at Caserta, four leagues distant, people could o=
nly walk by the light of torches. On the first of May, 1812, a cloud of vol=
canic ashes and sand, coming from a volcano in the island of St. Vincent, c=
overed the whole of Barbadoes, spreading over it so intense a darkness that=
, at mid-day, in the open air, one could not perceive the trees or other ob=
jects near him, or even a white handkerchief placed at the distance of six =
inches from the eye._" -- Murray, p. 215, Phil. edit._ {*6} In the yea=
r 1790, in the Caraccas during an earthquake a portion of the granite soil =
sank and left a lake eight hundred yards in diameter, and from eighty to a =
hundred feet deep. It was a part of the forest of Aripao which sank, and th=
e trees remained green for several months under the water." -- _Murray=
_, p. 221 {*7} The hardest steel ever manufactured may, under the action of=
a blowpipe, be reduced to an impalpable powder, which will float readily i=
n the atmospheric air. {*8} The region of the Niger. See Simmona's _Colonia=
l Magazine_ . {*9} The Myrmeleon-lion-ant. The term "monster" is =
equally applicable to small abnormal things and to great, while such epithe=
ts as "vast" are merely comparative. The cavern of the myrmeleon =
is vast in comparison with the hole of the common red ant. A grain of silex=
is also a "rock." {*10} The _Epidendron, Flos Aeris,_ of the fam=
ily of the _Orchideae_, grows with merely the surface of its roots attached=
to a tree or other object, from which it derives no nutriment -- subsistin=
g altogether upon air. {*11} The _Parasites,_ such as the wonderful _Raffle=
sia Arnaldii_. {*12} _Schouw_ advocates a class of plants that grow upon li=
ving animals -- the _Plantae_ _Epizoae_. Of this class are the _Fuci_ and _=
Algae_. _Mr. J. B. Williams, of Salem, Mass._, presented the "National=
Institute" with an insect from New Zealand, with the following descri=
ption: " '_The Hotte_,a decided caterpillar, or worm, is found gnawing=
at the root of the _Rota_ tree, with a plant growing out of its head. This=
most peculiar and extraordinary insect travels up both the _Rota_ and _Fer=
riri_ trees, and entering into the top, eats its way, perforating the trunk=
of the trees until it reaches the root, and dies, or remains dormant, and =
the plant propagates out of its head; the body remains perfect and entire, =
of a harder substance than when alive. From this insect the natives make a =
coloring for tattooing. {*13} In mines and natural caves we find a species =
of cryptogamous _fungus_ that emits an intense phosphorescence. {*14} The o=
rchis, scabius and valisneria. {*15} The corolla of this flower (_Aristoloc=
hia Clematitis_), which is tubular, but terminating upwards in a ligulate l=
imb, is inflated into a globular figure at the base. The tubular part is in=
ternally beset with stiff hairs, pointing downwards. The globular part cont=
ains the pistil, which consists merely of a germen and stigma, together wit=
h the surrounding stamens. But the stamens, being shorter than the germen, =
cannot discharge the pollen so as to throw it upon the stigma, as the flowe=
r stands always upright till after impregnation. And hence, without some ad=
ditional and peculiar aid, the pollen must necessarily fan down to the bott=
om of the flower. Now, the aid that nature has furnished in this case, is t=
hat of the _Tiputa Pennicornis_, a small insect, which entering the tube of=
the corrolla in quest of honey, descends to the bottom, and rummages about=
till it becomes quite covered with pollen; but not being able to force its=
way out again, owing to the downward position of the hairs, which converge=
to a point like the wires of a mouse-trap, and being somewhat impatient of=
its confinement it brushes backwards and forwards, trying every corner, ti=
ll, after repeatedly traversing the stigma, it covers it with pollen suffic=
ient for its impregnation, in consequence of which the flower soon begins t=
o droop, and the hairs to shrink to the sides of the tube, effecting an eas=
y passage for the escape of the insect." --_Rev. P. Keith-System of Ph=
ysiological Botany_. {*16} The bees -- ever since bees were -- have been co=
nstructing their cells with just such sides, in just such number, and at ju=
st such inclinations, as it has been demonstrated (in a problem involving t=
he profoundest mathematical principles) are the very sides, in the very num=
ber, and at the very angles, which will afford the creatures the most room =
that is compatible with the greatest stability of structure. During the lat=
ter part of the last century, the question arose among mathematicians--&quo=
t;to determine the best form that can be given to the sails of a windmill, =
according to their varying distances from the revolving vanes , and likewis=
e from the centres of the revoloution." This is an excessively complex=
problem, for it is, in other words, to find the best possible position at =
an infinity of varied distances and at an infinity of points on the arm.The=
re were a thousand futile attempts to answer the query on the part of the m=
ost illustrious mathematicians, and when at length, an undeniable solution =
was discovered, men found that the wings of a bird had given it with absolu=
te precision ever since the first bird had traversed the air. {*17} He obse=
rved a flock of pigeons passing betwixt Frankfort and the Indian territory,=
one mile at least in breadth; it took up four hours in passing, which, at =
the rate of one mile per minute, gives a length of 240 miles; and, supposin=
g three pigeons to each square yard, gives 2,230,272,000 Pigeons. -- "=
_Travels in Canada and the United States," by Lieut. F. Hall._ {*18} T=
he earth is upheld by a cow of a blue color, having horns four hundred in n=
umber." -- _Sale's Koran_. {*19} "The _Entozoa_, or intestinal wo=
rms, have repeatedly been observed in the muscles, and in the cerebral subs=
tance of men." -- See Wyatt's Physiology, p. 143. {*20} On the Great W=
estern Railway, between London and Exeter, a speed of 71 miles per hour has=
been attained. A train weighing 90 tons was whirled from Paddington to Did=
cot (53 miles) in 51 minutes. {*21} The _Eccalobeion_ {*22} Maelzel's Autom=
aton Chess-player. {*23} Babbage's Calculating Machine. {*24} _Chabert_, an=
d since him, a hundred others. {*25} The Electrotype. {*26} _Wollaston_ mad=
e of platinum for the field of views in a telescope a wire one eighteen-tho=
usandth part of an inch in thickness. It could be seen only by means of the=
microscope. {*27} Newton demonstrated that the retina beneath the influenc=
e of the violet ray of the spectrum, vibrated 900,000,000 of times in a sec=
ond. {*28} Voltaic pile. {*29} The Electro Telegraph Printing Apparatus. {*=
30} The Electro telegraph transmits intelligence instantaneously- at least =
at so far as regards any distance upon the earth. {*31} Common experiments =
in Natural Philosophy. If two red rays from two luminous points be admitted=
into a dark chamber so as to fall on a white surface, and differ in their =
length by 0.0000258 of an inch, their intensity is doubled. So also if the =
difference in length be any whole-number multiple of that fraction. A multi=
ple by 2 1/4, 3 1/4, &c., gives an intensity equal to one ray only; but=
a multiple by 2 1/2, 3 1/2, &c., gives the result of total darkness. I=
n violet rays similar effects arise when the difference in length is 0.0001=
57 of an inch; and with all other rays the results are the same -- the diff=
erence varying with a uniform increase from the violet to the red. {*32} Pl=
ace a platina crucible over a spirit lamp, and keep it a red heat; pour in =
some sulphuric acid, which, though the most volatile of bodies at a common =
temperature, will be found to become completely fixed in a hot crucible, an=
d not a drop evaporates -- being surrounded by an atmosphere of its own, it=
does not, in fact, touch the sides. A few drops of water are now introduce=
d, when the acid, immediately coming in contact with the heated sides of th=
e crucible, flies off in sulphurous acid vapor, and so rapid is its progres=
s, that the caloric of the water passes off with it, which falls a lump of =
ice to the bottom; by taking advantage of the moment before it is allowed t=
o remelt, it may be turned out a lump of ice from a red-hot vessel. {*33} T=
he Daguerreotype. {*34) Although light travels 167,000 miles in a second, t=
he distance of 61 Cygni (the only star whose distance is ascertained) is so=
inconceivably great, that its rays would require more than ten years to re=
ach the earth. For stars beyond this, 20 -- or even 1000 years -- would be =
a moderate estimate. Thus, if they had been annihilated 20, or 1000 years a=
go, we might still see them to-day by the light which started from their su=
rfaces 20 or 1000 years in the past time. That many which we see daily are =
really extinct, is not impossible -- not even improbable. Notes--Maelstrom =
{*1} See Archimedes, "_De Incidentibus in Fluido_." - lib. 2. Not=
es--Island of the Fay {*1} Moraux is here derived from moeurs, and its mean=
ing is "fashionable" or more strictly "of manners." {*2=
} Speaking of the tides, Pomponius Mela, in his treatise "De Situ Orbi=
s," says "either the world is a great animal, or" etc {*3} B=
alzac--in substance--I do not remember the words {*4} Florem putares nare p=
er liquidum aethera. -- P. Commire. Notes-- Domain of Arnheim {*1} An incid=
ent, similar in outline to the one here imagined, occurred, not very long a=
go, in England. The name of the fortunate heir was Thelluson. I first saw a=
n account of this matter in the "Tour" of Prince Puckler Muskau, =
who makes the sum inherited _ninety millions of pounds_, and justly observe=
s that "in the contemplation of so vast a sum, and of the services to =
which it might be applied, there is something even of the sublime." To=
suit the views of this article I have followed the Prince's statement, alt=
hough a grossly exaggerated one. The germ, and in fact, the commencement of=
the present paper was published many years ago -- previous to the issue of=
the first number of Sue's admirable _Juif Errant_, which may possibly have=
been suggested to him by Muskau's account.</p>=20
