MECHANISM oFTHE HEART.
Sudden Death Like That Of Secre-
tary Window May be Prevented.


Now the American idea of treating
the heart when it is diseasedfrom over
work is to stop the bad food and give
good food. Nature will then remove
from the blood-stream the physical
causes of obstruction, and the heart
will come down in size and be restored,
simply because it has NJ more than
it's normal work to do. This is a
principle of surgery, to wit, to remove
a foreign body from the eye, and the
eye gets well of itself; nature will
always cure if she has a chance. This
is REPETITION, but there is need OF it.
Few have any idea howfarth the blood
has to travel i'll the human body. If
the capillaries, which are 1-3,0OOth OF
an inch in diameter, of the human
body could be removed and put into
one straight line, it is estimated that
this line would reach round the globe;
call it 1000 miles, it is clear that it
will takeforcet to project water through
such a tube, and that it would take
more force to project molasses. Now,
if the heart projects normal blood
through this tube, it is also clear that
it would have to work harder to pro-
iect abnormally thick blood, and so
doing would grow bigger. The nerves
OF the heart are automatic, and do
their work in their way as the nerves
of the head do theirs. They appearto
know when there is obstructionto the
circulation, and they make the heart
beat harder.
When l was a medical student a snake
was brought to be killed. 1t was in a
deep glass jar, and q stream of car
bonic acid gas was turned on. In a
few minutes it was dead. All the gas
was not used, but vas turned on to
the back OF my hand; soon the skin
was a livid lead color, was devoid Of
feeling, and paralyzed. Now this gas
largely formed in the stomach becomes
absorbed through the heart sac, and
paralyzes The heart. Probably this
was so with Secretary Window. He
had eaten and then he spoke. The
force used in speaking was taken from
the work of digestion so that the
blood fermented, or he may have been
drinking carbonic acid water, and the
stomach was full of carbonic acid gas.
Thence it exosposed into the heart
sax and death followed. l knew a
doctor, who knew better, to die from
eating food which he knew would fer
ment, simply because he perferred the
taste OF his viands to their pathology
cal effects. He is not alone; so long as
mankind lives to eat and does eat to
live, just SO long will sudden deaths
from weak hearts occur.
Secretary Window had treatment,
but it was n~eutralized by a too close
attention to business and possibly by
the late financial, worldwide panic. il
which people looked to government
for relief brought on by speculation.
People forget that it is work to live
that eachperson;h asa limited amount
of dynamic energy to expend in doing
life work. Ten hours of brain work a
day is enough. Longer work than
this steals from some other organ. II
it is the stomach, it will not digest the
food. If one has a broken bone and
works too hard, the bone will not
unite. So when people overeat or eat
food that is hard to digest, they put a
like strain on their system.-New

Skin Grating by Machinery.

On Saturday morning, at the Mas
sachusetts General Hospital, a little
instrument, invented by DIR. Mixter
wonderful in its simplicity, construct.
ed sc as to separate quite large por
tions of epidermis from the subcutan'
eOus tissue, was used for the first
time. The patient had been etherized
and had undergone operations for the
removal OF a generous growth from
the left breast, and the wound thus
made was quite an extensive one. The
instrument was applied to the anter.
ior portion ofthe right thigh and three
straps, about an inch wideb by six inch.
es long, were taken off and transplant.
ed to the exposed surface of the breast.
The operation of removing the skin
and transplanting it to its new quar-
tiers did not occupy more than about
six minutes. A very fewdays will sui.
flee to restore the denuded surface OF
the thigh to its normal condition,
leaving few traces of the reparative
process to which it has contributed
and, other things being equal, the sur
face from which the cancerous tumor
has been excised will heal over by first
intention, thus saving the patient
from a prolonged and painful period
of convalesence. Of course every pre-
caution is taken, by the use of sterili-
zing processes and antiseptic solutions
to render the operation thoroughly
aseptic, so that the chance of infam-
matory disturbances from bacterial
sources are reducedto the lowest min
imum.
The thickness of these delicate hui
man plasters probably does not exceed
one-sixtieth OF an inch, and the result
ing hemorrhage isnot more than what
one sees on q slight abrasion of the
skin, or it may be compared to the
sangnineous oozing one gets from too
earnest %tonsorial attention..
The advantages of the new over the
old method of epidermic detachment
are obvious. 1t is expeditions, the
sections of shaved cutlcle are larger
and OF a more uniform thickness than
can be obtained by the most dexter
Gus manipulation, and the chances of
successful graftings are enhanced by
the fact that'the skin is tr~ansplanted
while the cellular elements are in their
full vital activity.-Boston Herald.

Why Big Men Have Little Wives.

There is a very general and ancient
impression that big men, in choosing
wives, prefer small women. At first
glance this would appear to be true,
because the number of big men with
little wives is certainly in an over
whelmning majority as we see them.
In the five years l have held my Office
l have learned q thing or two through
the medium of the marriage license Of
fee, and it is my impression that it is
not that big men prefer little women,
but that little women prefer big men,
and it is the experience OF the world
wise that what q woman wants and
starts out to get she generally capt
ures.-Globe Democrat.
