cautious in regard to beginning active

Early Diagnosis Important.
For the treatment Of heart dis

Physical examination Of children
would result in the early diagnosis of
many cases Of organic disease Of the
heart that might otherwise go undis-

Distinguishable from heart disease
as discussed above in which there is
disease Of the hearts structure, there
are certain disorders Of the hearts

palpitation te the most common, are
usually not serious. Digestive dis

by palpitation and pain near the heart

mistaken for serious heart disease,
Once diagnosed, care as to general
