of the heart is usually due to the
treachery of some other diseased or
gan.
In the game of life, hearts are
trumps and when you have played
your ace, all hope is gone.
The heart is one of the most won.
derfully and at the same time one OF
the most beautifully constructed or
CANS of the whole body. 1t may be
STYLED four chambered pump occu-
pyine the central position in the cir
culatory system. It's business is to
pump the blood with sufficient force
as to equally distribute it to all parts
of the body. To do this well, the mus
cular condition of the heart must be
good; it must be 100 per cent efficient.
When this efficiency is impaired the
heart must work with a greater effort
than it did before. .a#
No doubt you can readily see why
we should strive to avoid all diseases
that poison the blood; for impure
blood affects the heart unfavorably as
truly as impure food does the stom-
ach.
All acute infections such as rheu-
matism, tonsilitis, smallpox, scarlet
fever, diphtheria, measles. whooping
cough, bronchitis and many others
poison the blood stream and cause the
valves of the heart to become warped.
You know that awarped valve leaks.
The action of warped valve is SIM
liar to the action of an old farm yard
pump when its valves have become
corroded and warped. You must
prime it and use more muscle if you
wish to force the water out. So it is
with leaky heart valve, the heart
has greater task to accomplish
when the valves are not working
right.
We have told you that all acute in
fections tend to produce leaky valves.
You will no doubt agree with US when
we say that it is ignorance to allow
these acute infections to go untreat-
ed. Hundreds of them are being treat
ed by Doctors Tom, Dick and Harry,
which in many cases are worse than
no treatment at all. Many Of these
patients after having been treated by
their free dispensary neighbors, go to
their physician for treatment just too
late. They go complaining of short
ness of breath, dizziness, swollen feet,
legs, etc. The physician upon exam
nation discovers that the patient has
murmur which means that there is a
leaky mitral valve. Had he consulted
physician when he was first taken
sick, he might have been saved from
an untimely grave. Acute infections
generally tend to affect the valves Of
the heart, while chronic infections and
strong drink tend to affect the heart
muscle. Our next issue will deal with
the effect Of alcohol upon the heart
muscle.

For Diseases of the Skin.

Nearly all diseases of the skin, such
as eczema, letter, salt rheum and bar
bers' itch, are characterized by an in
tense itching and smarting, which
often makes life a burden and dis

be had by applying Chamberlain's
