Grief and the Broken Heart.

From the New York Herald.
Sudden deaths from emotion or grief are,
stock incidents with writers of fiction and
appeal to the reader on account of their
purely dramatic effect. They are not with
out their parallel, however, in actual fact
The broken heart is explained by other
causes than actual rupture of the organ.
In exceptional cases of profound mental
shock weak persons have been known to
expire suddenly with all the symptoms of
heart failure. The disconsolate widow who
fell dead while her husbands body was be-,
ing inferred was evidently an instance In
point. Worn by overpowering sorrow.
crushed in spirit and with firm conviction
that 1t was impossible for her to survive,
her loss, there was only needed final test
of strength to bring about fatal exhaus-
ton.
The powerful emotions at work evidently
affected heart action in q direct manner.
Usually under such circumstances there Isl
some organic trouble or particular physical
weakness that acts as q contrfbptory
cause, but not always Numerous similar
cases are on record in which post-mOrtem
examinations failed to show any other
cause for death. Brouardel. in his work
on Sudden DEATH" gives some examples.
The victims have been known either to die
in faint or expire suddenly with a shrek.
Fortunately the occurrences are very rare
among the daily severe Affections of hui
manity. Religion, duty. philosophy and
resignation strike the other balance. and
thus allow time to do it's beneficent and
healing work The brave facing of the
initiative shock Is the first victory.
