Health Advice Conducted Under Direc- ton of the U s. Public
 Health Service
EFFORT sYNDROME

I was discharged from the army six months ago. The doctor told me was troubled with "effort syn drome." Can you tell me something about this condition?
 N The Answer
 The condition you inquire about is not new, as the same symptoms have been observed in soldiers of all the armies in the late war, as we'll as the Civil War, Franco-P -Prussian War and Boer War, and all others as far back as the campaigns of Napoleon.
 It is not essentially a disease of soldiers, but the life led by soldiers offers favorable conditions towards its development. Previous disease (fevers, diarrhea, influenza, gassing etc.,) are predisposing factors. There arc several names for the condition !; effort syndrome, soldiers heart, car diac neurasthenia, functional cardia irritability, and others. The symp- toms, briefly, are: nervousness, ir- ritability, palpitation of the heart shortncss of breath, giddiness, cold clammy skin, sweating, and blotching of the skin. There may or may not be heart murmur. The heart is us ually enlarged.
 The condition is improved by rest of body and mind, and especially by assuming cheerful state and stick. ing to it, and by removal of any exist ing focus of infection or source o1 irritation. Digitalis is of value when given under the supervision of good physician, and, lastly, graded exer. cises leading towards the perform. ancc of a normal amount of work,
