The American Heart,

We have heard much about the
American stomach and the American
nerves, but we are just awakening to
a discovery that there is being rapidly
developed form of heart disease
which, if not peculiar to America. may
at least be said to be more prevalent
in this country than In any other part
of the world. The heart weakness re-
sulting from the use of tobacco and
alcohol and from sedentary life on
the one hand, and extremely violent
exertion on the other hand, is no long
er rare condition, but has come to
be one of the most common affections
with which the physician has to deal.
A large proportion of the men reject
ed in the army examinations are re-
fused on account Of heart weakness.
A large proportion of the public men
who die suddenly die as a result OF
may be said also of many of the
cases in which the cause of death is
reported to be pneumonia, typhoid fe-
yer and other affections in which spe-
cial strain is brought to bear upon the
heart, and in which the failure Of the
organ to meet the emergency is one of
the most common causes of death. The
cigar, the cigarette and the pipe are
probably the most common cause of
this growing frequency of cardiac af-
fections; but the neglect of physical
exercise, overeating, the use of condi-
mentS and eXcesseS of all sorts are
also to large degree responsible for
the rapid increase of this grave NAL
ady.
