Enlarged
Heart Has
Rare Peril
Worry Should Not Be
Aroused if Hard
Work Is Cause.
BY JAMES w. BARTON, NJ. D.

IF YOUR physician tells you that
= your heart is slightly enlarged, it
Is only natural that you should won
der about 1t and perhaps worry
The heart en.arges because it is
doing more work than usual, either
due to working and exercising or be-
cause there may be some obstruction
to the blood flow somewhere IN the
body-the kidneys. for example.
Now q heart that increases IN size
from hard work or exercise Is usually
a strong, slow heart 1t has been
called on to do extra work regularly
and 1t increases in size up to a certain
point.
However. a heart that increases in
size due to the blood vessels not having
enough elastic tissue to open widely
when blood Is pumped through them
gradually loses some Of its power de-
spite its increase in size. 1t becomes
larger on the left side. because this is
the part of the heart that has to pump
the blood to all parts Of the body-to
the very farthest points, the hands
and feet, whereas the right side Of
the heart has to pump the blood to
the lungs only.
Now the heart may be gradually
enlarging for years without the indi-
vidual realizing it, as there may be
no symptoms whatever Should he
find himself getting out of breath
easily and decide to take things more
easily, the enlargement may increase
very slowly and no symptoms occur.
The natural question Is just how
much larger a heart can become be-
fore there is real danger. Your doctor
viii tell you that If the blood pressure
is not too high and no complications
are present, the heart may actually
increase to half as much or even to
twice its natural size and the body
is able to do the usual amount of
work safely.
The average weight Of the normal
heart in man Is about ga ounces and
of a woman about 8 to 8l2 ounces

From the very beginning it was ap-

Read this voluntary letter from

due to insufficient "bulk" in
meals.
Kellogg's ALL-BRAN provides
"bulk" to aid elimination. 1t also
furnishes vitamin B and iron.
The "bulk" in ALL-BRAN is gen.
tie and safe for normal individ-
uals. Often more effective than

does not break down within the body.

But Jessica said: we'll don't
know"
But that was enough for Everard.
as 1t would have been for any man.
Everard took Myrtle home. and the
next evening he came back to see
JeSSica alone. She was wearing a
dress of white satin that clung to
her and Swayed with her when she
moved. and seemed to make her every
gesture a thing of beauty.
Everard and Jessica had very good
time together that night. Everard
found JeSsica so beautiful. and Jes-
sica found Everard so different. 1t
wasn't his handsomenesS alone; there
was a clean healthiness about him.
He was part of the earth. as men
should be-he bore about him an aura
reminiscent of tall trees and swiftly
running rivers.
1t seemed to Jessica and Everard
that one good time deserved another.
1t kept on seeming that way to them.
And after six months Myrtle learned
that Jessica and Everard were en-
gagged to be married in the Spring.

exclaimed when she saw Myrtle, and
1t was a fact. She was happy and
glad to see anybody.
