HARDENING OF ARTERIES.
A Disease of Antiquity and Mystery.

In the Health and Horse Power
department of the American Maya
zine DR.. Woods Hutchinson presents
many new facts about hardening of
the arteries. Following is an extract
from his article:
The important question is What
causes these premature occurrences
of this comparatively natural old age
change?
Ten or fifteen years ago we were
considerably more sure in our reply
to this question than we are today.
1t was almost unanimously taken for
granted that the principal cause Of
this premature stiffening and harden
ing of the arteries was the So called
strains of modern. civilized life. par

andsincessanrsbr brain work. g.
'All of these beliefs have pretty
much vanished into thin air under the
acid test of cold -blooded investigation
and analysis. SO far from arterio-
sclerosis being modern disease,
some of the most perfect and typical
instances of ii on record have been
taken from the blood vessels of
Egyptian m,imnlies embalmed in the
fifteenth century before Christ.
1T was a disease of meat caters
and particularly wine drinkers. solely
because classes able to indulge in
these extravasant tastes also had
