An aneurlsm is tunlor formed by the
dustion of An artery, as the result Of the
bursting of its iuner and middle coats 1t Is
more liable TO occur in persons in whom de
generativc changes in the arteries arc tak
ing place. 1t may be directly caused ky
great mental excitement, violent e1crtioh,
lftlng, etc, or local injury. The larger tns
artery in which the ancurism forms shs
more serious it is. II within tho chest ar

The progress OF aneurism is slow; death IL

Is true, and yet if tho subject be of q deli
cate and sensitive constitution, and move
especially If he labors under any complaint
or tho heart, the consequences on the nerv-
ous system of sudden and immediate Joy
will always be attended with hazard. Many
instances of fatal effects from that passion
arc recorded, and the assertion has been
made by some able writer's on mental
hygiene that sudden Joy is even more
hazardous to life than sudden grief. When
extravagant Joy follows unexpectedly
| terror or grief, the danger from the shock
to the nervous system is heightened! That
/ fact has been illustrated by the sudden
| deatn Of CRIMINALS who have been pardonsn
AT the point Of exec0t. 81. That terror, grief
at once paralyzing the nervous system and
stopping the action Of the heart-ara wei
known, for the instances have been many.

In all forms of heart diae.ae death is ho-

proportion of cases the evil comes after
violent Uycrryertion. Heart trouble :"
may exist in person for a long time--evsn

suffered from what IL known as fatty degen-

thereby. Such an action rarely occurs III
persons under the age Of forty.
| " Is II a quick death, painless deathf'
is question which Is frequently asked oi
physicians. We believe that in the major
| " Of cases where death comes on the tn
stant-as by a stroke of lightning--it n
painless. AS has been said, pain is the
product of time. To experience pain the
impre ssion producing it must be transmit
