"I suffered intense pain

thine escapes him. even his
thoughts. They vanish, he cannot
control, but is controlled by them,
and especially by the thought tha'
he cannot sleep.
• Primarily, sleeplessness is the re
sult of the fear of not sleeping. It Is}
very difficult to rid oneself of thisi
fear, but it is possible by concentrate i
ing one's mind on something else, as j
on the work of the day to come, to [
divert one's thoughts. 1
“But why suffer on account of j
sleeplessness? Rather should not one '
thank Ood that one Is thus able to j
double the length of lire, instead oi
sleeping away half of It?”
Elaborating on the high-blood -
pressure bogey and giving soma
sound advice regarding it for those
anxious ones who are afflicted .With
this particular disease fear. Dr
Lobel says.
Product of Civilization.
“Like luxuries, a high blood pres
sure Is one of the products of civil
isation. It Is almost unknown to the
colored races, and It is not the ath
lete and hard-working laborer who
arc subject to it as much as the
)'ar#1-driven speculator, the po'it.i
clan, the merchant and the physi
cian.
“We pretend to Know exactly what
'too high’ a blood' pressure is. No
doubt it is a pressure which exceeds
the normal pressure. But what is
the normal pressure?
"The conception or excessive
bloc a pressure varies and the pres -!
sure Itself varies still mare.”
"High blood pressure often drops
by merely going to bed, by reducing
one’s consumption of meat or by
eating smaller meals. Strong cigars,
the dangerous age,, or excitement oi
any kind may cause .an increase
which later entirely disappears.
Simply avoid anythin* which might
cause It to raise, take life calmly and
do not wear yourself out.
"Do not eat much at a time, but
rather eat five small meals a day:
the last, two or three hours before
rethement. Be temperate,
" Above all, do not worry about
your blood pressure. If you do you
will drive it Up"
The "nervous-heart" superstitition
Dr, Dobel routs in this fashion:
"In cases of ‘neurosis of the heart
one is not justified tn clinging to the
idea or the heart being diseased in
stead of the nerves. Tire nervous
heart Is a healthy heart in the body
of a person with irritable, super sen
sitive nerves. Therefore, when such
patients are treated the treatment
should be directed upon the nerves."

Fear of obesity must surely van

tively easy It- Is to keep thin:
"Corpulence, whether partial or
general, can only be attacked at its

household of the body is caused by
the absence of the secretion of some

"When corpulence is caused by

Dr. Lobel says of the ghosts of
fear and the gloomy shadows which
he spends his life trying to vanquisn
for others:

threat umouonai strain ntw a
tinct relationship to heart action.
Without warning, a terrible strain
is put upon the emotions and heart
by news of sicltness or death or
disaster. Keen everyday living has
a Rood deal of a strain associated
with It.
Dr. William 1. Mayo, that eml
nant physician known from one end
of the country to the other, recently
spoke to the members of the Amer
ican Mndtcal Association. In his ad
dress ho said that man has de
veloped a brain at the expense of his
body. Lon* eons a*o man learned
to control bis emotions. Dr. Mayo
appears to think this hms thrown a
tremendous strain on the heart, eo
that It may account for deteriorsr
tlon of the heart In civilised times.
He spoke, too, of the *reat strain
a surgeon is under In his work. He
must control hie emotions In order
to be successful In hlg work. There
Is no doubt but that there Is much
heart disease among doctors. And
tt Is so In other walks of life.
The heart Is a maas of rousclee.
It must beat seventy times or so,
every minute. No matter bow quiet
you may be, the powerful heart
muscles contract strongly every
time there is s heartbeat. When
you are hurried or excited, these
contractione are quite violent.
For many persons, safety de
mands moderation and caution
against thosa experiences which ex
cite the heart. But for the moat of
us It la Important to train the heart
so that it is accustomed to hard but
reasonable work.
wnen you realise me owri
largely muscle, you know that It
iftuot be treated like other muscles If
it Is to be strong. There must be
systematic ezerclee, during which
the heart mueclee are made to work
somewhat harder than they usually
do. This strengthens the heart.
It Is the height of folly for people
to go through life, too lasy, or too
negligent, to get the amount of ex
ercise needed dally for good health.
Keep a reserve of strength, not only
of the heart muscles, but of all the
body muscles. This can be done by
vigorous exercise, and exercise that
la regular, not spasmodic.
When a person has a weak heart,
that ie a different matter. Such a
person should he guided by the
physician in all such matters as ex

health. But tor most of ue regular
and moderate exercise, freedom from
worry and emotional strain, and
right living In general, kesp us fit
