Driving The Heart to Death,

In New York last week there were
l23 deaths from heart disease.
Could there be any more clear and
startling indication of the high and
killing tension at which the people of
the nations metropolis are living?
And New York is typical in this re-.
spect of the whole country.
DO you know the tremendous mean
ing Of this record?
The heart has the most enduring
vitality of any organ. Removed from
frogs body it will beat for hours.
1t is the first human organ to show
signs of life and under normal oondi-
tlons the last to lose those signs. In
the hands of modern surgery the heart
OF living man is massaged, removed,
cleansed and replaced, and it faith
fully beats on.
The heart will stand anything with
in reason. But it will not stand the
terrible strain that is put upon it by
the life that is becoming more and
more characteristic Of the people Of
this country.
A record Of 125 deaths from heart
failure in one city in one week con-
talns story that means far more than
shows on the surface of dry stats
tics.
1t tells of living that is all but vol.
UNFAIRLY suicidal, for it is little less
than willful suicide to drive to fatal
speed an organ so wonderfully devised
for strength, vigor and power of re-
oovery.
The average American would not
drive horse as hard as he drives him.
sell. The laws would not permit it;
his owc sense Of humanity would not
permit it.
If your horse drops dead of heart
disease induced by overworl- there is
raised a great hue and cry and the
whole community is aroused. If you
drop dead yourself from the same cause
nobody cares anything about it. You
contribute just little to dull death
statistics and are forgotten.
Is it worth the strain and stress?
| Are your ambitions or indulgenoes
worth such cost as thie?
Is your aim-wealth, position, fame,
or whatever ellsworth the wearing
out of your health or the straining of
your heartstrings until they suddenly

tables in the well.lighted operating
room.
We can be proud of our operat-
Ing rooms, continued the surgeon;
they contain everything that is best
and up.to-date.' In each of the very
roomy wards | saw forty men on beds
arranged on European methods, and
with the remarks written in German
on the cards hanging at the head of
every bed; even the daily reports of
all cases are written in German.
oald the surgeon, with smile: Ger
man IS the language Of su rgery ip ia
pan, for in medicine and surgery we
are the pupils Of Germany. Until
lately our hospitals were full of G erman
surgeons, but now you will not find q
single one, Although the entire hos.
pital staff is japanese, yet we continue
to write the notes Of cases in German.
That is better, for neither the wouu-
ded man nor his friends can know the
| worst
MANY Of the wounded were lying
unconscious; others were chatting,
laughing or trying to make then, selves
understood by mimicry to such
friends as happened to be far away.
What surprised me was the great
number of visitors, especially of wo.
men; hundreds of women came and
vent silently between the beds; ali Of
them brought presents for the SOL
dlers, and many Of them had their
children with them. I saw many q
sorrow stricken face, but did not
hear one sob. There is no crying in
hospitals, said the surgeon, and that
set me thinking once more upon the
iron discipline of people which has
produced the proverb: Sorrow, like a
torn garment, must be left at home.
| The wounded Russian prisoners,
whom 1 saw at Osaka, had for the
most part wounds in the head and
shoulder from the shrapnel shells, as
| was told; as most of the Japanese
were wounded in the feet and body,
especially in the abdomen, I asked
the surgeon to explain the differ.
ence. He said: Most of those whom
you see here are the victims of srtil.
lery fire, and were wounded by
splinters. | asked him about the
death rate, and he answered me with
the eternal Japanese smile, The
foreign press has had o great deal to
say about the horrors of this wa,
making future wars impossible. Ger.
tainly wprfare has been developed to
q terrible degree, but surgery and
medicine have also been greatly de.
veloped, and the number of deaths
from wounds is very small, as com.
pared with former wars. Enormous
numbers are killed, but never befc.

chances Of recovery. unless thei,
