Your Health
How to Keep It.
Causes of Illness
BY DR.. MORRIS EISHBEIN
Editor journal of the American
Medical Association and Of Hy-
gcia, the Health Magazine

On March IS, 1927, Beethoven,
one Of the greatest musicians Of all
time, died in Vienna.
When he was IS years old he
began to complain of increasing
deafness, which had become
worse during the previous three
years. By 1915 he had lost his
hearing entirely.
Nevertheless, many Of his great
est musical compositions were elab-
GRATED during this period and indeed
he was able to conduct an orchestra
oven after 1918, when he became so
deaf that he could not even hear
the sound Of a trumpet.
With the beginning OF his loss
OF hearing he became greatly de-
pressed, suffered constant fear of
IN early death and had difficulties
of digestion. In 1924 and 1925 he
had several attacks Of bleeding
from the nose and from the
mouth, and died In 1927. IT was
found that previous to his death
he suffered with an inflammation
Of the liver, making it difficult for
him to recover from an attack OF
pneumonia which placed an I'M
usual burden on his organs.
