The Strange Conception of Mr.. Dubb
Il have read lately that heart dis
ease is sometimes indicated by swell
ing Of the legs or ankles, due to water
in the tissues. Does this mean that
one with a weak heart should avoid
watery foods and excessive drinking.
Is there any special diet to strengthen
the heart? MISTER PLAIN DUBB.
Answer-Nine times out of ten
swelling about theankles and legs is
due to other causes than heart dis
ease. It would not mean. even in heart
disease, that there is too much fluid
IN the diet or too much water In the
body. Such swelling merely indicates
increased permeability OF the capilIa-
ries and perhaps increased pressure
upon the blood in the small vessels
