HEART NEEDS ESPECIAL CARE
Strain on the Vital Organ Must Be
Avoided When Middle Life Has
Been Passed.

THE death by heart failure Of Gen.
Frederick D. Grant," says the Medical
Record, "emphasizes the repeated
warnings of the medical profession
that we should treat a senile heart
with respect. AS far as We know
there is not the slightest disagreement
on this one point-every human heart
over fifty, and perhaps over forty-five.
cannot stand much internal pressure
without being ruined or at least dam
aged. A very slight man may go
through severe muscular exertion with
but little damage, but a heavy man.
like the general, places on the heart
and arteries a hydrostatic pressure be-
yond the safety point, and it never re-
covers.
"The pitiful feature of this deplor-
able death is the fact that Gen.
Grant in his last annual report had
called attention to the opinion of life
insurance examiners that army off,
GERS were becoming poor risks on &C
count of the increasing strain on their
profession. 1t is safe to predict more
deaths like Gen. Grants, unless we
treat the heart of a mar over forty
five with more ~gentleness.
