Heart Disease and Fast Living
One hundred and sixty-four persons died from heart disease during a recent week in New York City. It is explained by some that the remarkable death-rate from this one malady is greatly accentuated by the financial panic thru which the country is passing. But people would not have so much heart disease if they were not living so fast. The stimulants and drugs that are being used in such large quantities, and the unnatural demands of society place so much extra work upon the heart that it can not stand the strain when extra burdens are thrown upon the system, and this is especially true if the extra burdens come particularly upon the nerves.
