So far we have dealt with what may
be fifty termed the automatic checks 10
overexercise. Interference with digestion
so lowers nutrition, while accumulation OF
waste products so pOisons the system that
in either case further exertion becomes
impossible-the very will TO make il passes
away. But it is different in regard 10 the
heart The heart although strained, may
yet be driven on to its own destruction.
Every muscular eftort-pot only demands
from the heart an increased flow OF blood
but also drives an 'increased quantity to-
ward It. So long as the heart can pass
this forward all is we'll. but when ii fails
not merely is the circulation of the bood
rendered imperfect but serious damage is
done to the heart itself. If when the heart
was overdriven it merely struck the en-
feebled circulation would soon pat stop
to further effort. The willing heart how
ever, taking at each beat wider sweep
and driving into the vessels larger guam
tity Of blood, SO meets the call that the
athlete can struggle on, perhaps to win
his race. But the strained heart suffers
the stretched muscle does not quite come
back, the dilated cavity does not quite
close at each contraction, and permanent
mischief is set up. Thus il is that exsr-
else driven to the limit imposed by the
heart is overexercise in the most serious
sense OF the word. Ii it is the heart that
stops ii, the chances are that il has al

Exercise and Overexercise,
From the Hospital.)

tffOfn lDe hoSpltdi.J
IL we accept the broad fact that eXer-
else is good and that its effect is to in
crease muscular strength and bodily de-
velopment we have to ask, @Why does
still further exercise cease to be good, and
what do we mean by overexercise?" First,
We must draw a broad distinction between
the effect of constantly maintained exer-
tion which is required in certain trades,
and the alternating contraction and relax
alton of all the muscles of the body, which
is the characteristic of games and athlet-
les of all kinds. That constantly maintain
ed effort or monotonous repetition of the
same movement tends to exhaustion rath-
er than nutrition goes without saying; but
taking ordinary so-called healthy exercise,
by what is its limit set? The limit ap-
pears to be set by three factors: First,
the capacity of the digestive organs to
keep up the quality of blood; second, the
capacity of the excretory organs to get rid
of the waste products which result from
muscular action. and third. the power Of
the heart to drive a constant stream of
blood through every corner of the organ
ism.
Interference with digestion is a by no
means uncommon effect of excessive ex-
ercise. and SO far as training is concerned
ii is one of the most destructive. The blood
at once. AS Dr. Lauder Brunton says,
Everyone knows that while moderate ex-
ercise tends to produce appetite, long
and exhausting eXertion tends to destroy
the appetite, and even to produce actual
sickness, as one finds in mountain climb
ing" People differ greatly in this respect,
but In some-great, ponderous men as they
may seem-the digestion is SO easily up
set by muscular exercise that, although
they may be giants for a momentary ex-
ertion. anything like sustained effort dis
turbs digestion, and cuts at the very root
of their nutrition. In many cases, how
ever the limit to exercise lies in dimin-
ished excretion.
Unless the excretory organs are thor
0ughly efficient the tissues become
