SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Or. G. "a. L. Reed

YOU are quite unlike others in
4 the matter o. heart power
and breathing CAPACITY. You, il
normal, probably have less than
some and more than others. This
In because OF variation between
people, quite as much In their
internal structures - in faces.
The heart is by no means always
the same size in different people.
The larger the surface area OF the
body the larger the heart. That
Is because larger surface means
great heat loss which demands
an active circulation. 1t Is rea~
sonable to suppose that heart
which has to be above average
size to meet the daily needs of It's
BODY has less margin for enlarg-
ing to meet unusual exigencies Of
stress of disease. The heart muscle
can vary also i'm excitability, In con-.
ductivity, in contractility and in
tonicity--all being physiological
qualities that | need not now stop
to explain.
1t is when the heart is sub
iected to stress and strain that
Unborn variations become mani
fest. A congenital difference in
tonicity accounts for the fact that
one man will pass through q
physical effort with impunity,
while another shows distress.
People who are handicapped by
inefficient hearts instinctively
avoid violent exercise.
Like the heart. the blood Ves-
sells show varying capacity to
stand wear and tear, probably due
to Unborn differences in the quality
of the tubing. We all know the
saying that a man is as old as
his arteries.
The tendency OF some people to
develop high blood pressure in
later life is probably not due to
any popularity of the vessels but
to some inadequacy of the kidney
or some over action of the supra
renal-little vital glands located
Just above the kidneys.
There II considerable difference
in the control OF the blood vessels,
determining the existence OF
good" or bad" circulation.
1t is for this reason that people
vary in their capacity to stand
the effects OF cold and to resist
such disorders az chilblains ana
migraine. When the control Is IN
herentIy defective. the blood pres
sure varies greatly with the po-
Sition of the body, In Such people
fatigue is badly borne and RANT
ness readily induced. Differences
in this control may perhaps De
at the root OF susceptibility to the
weather" /. e., barOmetric pres
sure.
The chief individual differences
in breathing lie in the vital capac-
ity and in the elasticity of the
lungs. The vital capacity of the
lungs lessons fitness for exertlon
and predisposes to asthma and va
rious infections, including phthisis.
A deficiency in elasticity plays
part in the production of the easily
puffed elderly man with the wide
barrel-shaped chest, and may serl-
OusIy interfere with activity and
shorten life.
The practical lesson to be drawn
from these facts is early to deter

live within your limitations. Many
