Milk Diet in Heart Disease

The opinion of DR.. Pecholier, an emin-
ent French physician, is now cited in favor
Of milk diet in the treatment of disease of
the heart. He states that in active hyper
trophy-namely, in those cases where the
consequences of the development of the
muscular fibers prevail over the embar-
rassment of the circulation caused by the
dilatation of the cavities, the contraction
of the orifices, or the iusufflciency of the
valves-and where, in consequence, the
tension of the blood is great in the arteries,
and the radial pulse is full and hard in such
cases, at their commencement, the milk
diet, together with the use of digitalis, and
sometimes without it, will, if continued
long enough, induce at once an amendment
of the symptoms, and even, at last, all abb
sorption of the superabundsnt muscular
tissues, and thus effect cure. 1t is found
that, under the influence of this diet, the
impulses of the heart diminish, together
with the palpitations, also the congested
condition of the face, the brain, and the
lungs. The patient experiences an unex-
pected improvement, and, by the adoption
of this plan, life may be prolonged and
rendered more supportable-a great pal
liation of the symptoms resulting, even
though there be no cure.

panies stables are very complete. Each
stall Is numbered, and full description Of |
the horses occupying them, together with
the cost of each animal, Is entered in the |
office ledger. When horse Is sold, or
from any cause ceases to be its property, q
record Of the transaction lie made by the |
company, and the account closed. The |
average cost of the car horse is about $165, |
and in order to do the work assigned him |
he must weigh at least 1,100 or 1,150 |
pounds. When 1t Is considered that the |
weight OF car Is a, 500 pounds, and that |
fifty passengers, at an average OF lOO
pounds, raise the aggregate weight to over |
four and half tons, the strain of this |
work can be appreciated. The manner of |
dividing the task of each horse varies with |
the different corporations. One of the |
largest and most carefully regulated COM
panies in the city has adopted the follow
ing, which differs from the rest only in
detail Five teams of two horses each
are assigned to n car. Teams Nos. and
make two trips on Monday, while Nos.
Nos. 3 and run two trips, leaving Nos. 5,
1, and 2 to make the Journey once. On
Wednesday Nos. 8 and go over the route
twice, Nos. 2, 3 and going once, and so
on through the week, giving an average of
10 trips, and every sixth week II trips to
each horse. On this line the length of the
double route is II miles. The cars of the
Third avenue line make the longest trip,
covering 10 miles. The arrangement In
these stables is such rs to give to each horse
one days rest in seven.
The companies have their own hospitals
| for disabled animals, with regularly ap-
pointed veterinary surgeons and corps of
| assistants, whose sole duty 1t is to care for
the horses under their charge. In the
large stables there are generally from 20 to
| 30 horses on the sick list, or incapable of
dong work. In the majority of cases, a
| day Or two is sufficient to bring the patients
up again. The car horse can stand the
strain for about three years. When he
gives evidence of breaking down he is put
on half work, and after recuperating
somewhat a price, ranging from $50 TO
800, is set upon his head and he is offered
to farmers, who look to these stables as
regular sources of supply. Not unfre-
quently these horses, after running in pas
ture for some months, regain all their old
vigor and become good as ever, and instan-
ces have been know where the very ami
