The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
HEART AND MENTAL STRAIN
Some men endure mental strain
and worry better than others; but
it still remains a fact that the over
taxed brain, in any man, affords one
of the most certain routes to "death
from a heart attack."
The case of former President Wil
son may be cited. His was a bril
liant mentality which was worked
to more than capacity limit. I nev
er have known of a man who en
dured greater strain, till the collapse
and the crash. His circulation gave
way to cerebral hemorrhage. The
strain was the real cause of death.
Then Warren Harding. A man
not fitted for bearing heavy mental
burdens that were his. He stimu
lated, laughed, struggled, and stead
ily weakened. It was the heart. He
dropped almost as from a gun-shot.
President Coolidge. I could not
call him either a physical or mental
giant, rather a plain, honest little
fellow, capable within certain limits.
The big fellows did his figuring,
while he wondered what it was all
about. Sensing catastrophe he an
nounced, "I do not choose to run."
Self-preservation warned—he heeded
the message, maybe not knowing ex
actly why. At least he never ex
plained. His heart, it was—and the
end.
I could name many others, if space
permitted, where men simply
strained themselves into the most
certain of deaths from heart disease.
Yet men keep on doing it. My ob
ject in this letter is, to urge YOU
to avoid worrying over affairs that
you cannot alter to suit yourself.
An old farmer neax me has lived
to 105; I never knew him to worry
over anything.
MANAGEMENT OF FEVERS
Probably four-fifths of our human
ailments exhibit at one time or an
other a rising temperature above the
normal. It is called "fever." "The
elevation may vary from a barely
detectable increase to a raging flame
that menaces life itself. There are
certain principles here that most of
us should know.
To attempt to demolish every fe
ver the moment we encounter it
must never be attempted. We have
remedies for reducing temperature,
but they must be used with the ut
most care and watchfulness. The
fever may be kept within safe lim
its, but just that, while the CAUSE
of the disturbance is being eradi
cated.
Take the case of mcaseles, scarlet,
feaver, small-pox, or any other self
limited disease. To rush the tempera
ture to normal my first visit would
be utterly stupid and maybe cost a
life! These eruptive diseases must
have fever, if they are to pursue
a safe course to recovery. They are
"self-limited" diseases that run a
definite course. They must be man
aged and nursed to recovery.
The protracted Severs, pneu
monia, typhoid, and the like, have
a temperature which is an index to
the amount of infection. To attempt
to maintain anything like a normal
temperature from drugs may bring
about a weakened heart-muscle
from which the victim cannot rally.
To keep the temperature within
SAFE limits is the art of the good
physician and nurse.
Too many drugs lower tempera
ture at the expense of the heart.
How careful we must be! To lay low
on the acetanellde or the aconite the
heart must be saved at all hazards.
Bathing reduces temperature with
out harm to the vita.l organs In the
