Heart Disease and the Turkish Bath


Perhaps twenty per cent. Of the whole
population Of the United States think
they have heart disease. Everybody who,
under any excitement, feels q little aut
tering 10 the region Of the heart, thinks
it is heart disease. II is taken for grant
ed that a little palpitation is evidence Of
disease, and therefore it is Z" extremely
dangerous TO take the bath. Never
was a greater mistake.
10 cases where there is real disease of
the heart, the danger lies in any sudden
or excessive forcing OF the blood through
the organs, just exactly the opposite
effect from that produced by the hot
rooms which is, p~arsmountly, to produce
ga even circulation, and therefore to re-
lieve the pressure which constitutes the
danger of heart disease. To be sure,
such a person is liable to die anywhere,
aud at any moment, but least Of all in a
Turkish bath, and for the reason jusI
given.
There is absolutely no foundation fol-
fear IN any case, and the public neeC
only study the philosophy Of the Turkist
bath to be convinced Of the soundness 0
our position. We have seen the YER,
worst cases Of valyular diseases Of thI
heart treated in the bath, and that ate
dropsy had set 10 and the case had beer
given over as hopeless. but the result
have always been favorable, and the bes
effects have been obtained from the high
8 est temperatures. Of course the bat
: could no more cure such cases than
! could replace az amputated limb, but

usefulness to lives that we're despaired O
