How to Keep Your Arteries from Bursting. ONGER life for thousands or human beings de pends upon the prevention of a premature hard enlng of the arteries. Arteries which have be come so Inelaitte and rigid that they are liable to burst under the slightest undue strain, lead to apoplexy, kidney dlsesses. hemorrhages of the brain and en Urged hearts, and they are one of the chief causes of death after middle ago. To find a way of- postponing this hardening Is one of the most difficult problems which science faces to isy. All the greatest minds in the medical profes sion are attacking it. The progress they have already made in discovering the cauaea of this condition and deviates ways of preventing them encourages the be lief that before long toe problem mav be successfully solved. Arterlo-sclerosls Is the nsme by which medicine knows this hardening of the arteries which threat ens all of us as we approach middle age. The tact that hardened arteries are more frequent among men than women led for a long time to the be lief that tbey were caused byover-indulgence in tobacco and alcohol This theory wss exploded largely as a result of the investigations made by Dr. Richard Cabot, of Boston. Responsibility for arterlo-sclerosls was next laid at the door of inactivity and over-eating. But this theory wss abandoned even more quickly than the previous one wben It was discovered that persons who are mus cularly active and eat relatively little are more subject to this disorder than those who eat heavily and lead sedentary lives. The tiulds poured Into the Mood from the little supra renal glands near the kidneys are now generally ac cepted as tbe cause of srterlo-sclerosls. Tbs secretions of these glands have been found to be much more abun dant in athletea and in men who habitually do labor ious work on too little food. In the Isboratorles a quantity of supra-renal extract was injected into the blood of rsbblts and other ani mals. Theae injections raised the blood pressure, made the arteries hard and Inelastic, and created all the cou dl lions found In human beings wben arterlo-sclerosis is present Envy, jeslousy and all violent emotions stimulate the flow of the suprs-renal juices la men end women, and so do overwork, worry and lack of propor teod. Tbe blood pressure usually becomes abnormally high as the arteries grow harder and harder. When this condition is recognised the patient's diet Is the first thing that requlrea attention in order to check the prog ress of tYm disease and prevent tbe weakened arteries from bursting like a length of rotten hose. The proteins eaten should, of course, be or varied character Notwithstanding the bad reputation of "red" meats. Dr. Lewellyn. the distinguished Australasian physician, considers slightly underdone beef the most valuable meat food for sufferers from hardening arter ies. He allows his patients from one to two ounces of meat dally, the amount varying according to its protein contents. The aim should be to select mainly tasty foods which are rctber bulky and of low protein content. Among vegetables and fruits the following are exceptionally useful: Cauliflower, celery (boiled), onions (boiled), vegetable marrow, the atoms of silver beet (boiled), tomatoes, grspes. ripe peaches, bananas Either tolled onload or boiled celery uken dally for a time ap pears to have a value in producing a feeling of well being.' and the aame may be said of grapes. 8oups, broths and meat extracts are absolutely forbidden. The restriction ot the proteins Is sometimes followed: by an abnormal appetite for carbohydrates. The patient' should be enjoined to exercise some self-restraint, evea1 at the expense of some of his surplus fatty tissue and1 the craving will usually diminish after a week or two.' The filling of the stomach to satisfaction is one ot the commonest causes of sudden rise of blood-pressure to-' compsnled by angina. One effect of the new routine is an increased caps- city of the stomach to tolerate fatty foods. If the diet prescribed is too poor in carbohydrates or fats when Ute stomach is not filled to satisfaction the patient will lose weight to an undesirable extent, and less bulky foods of higher caloric value but similar protein con tent must be substituted Jor some articles of the diet. The tsklng of liquids w solids is strictly forbidden. A meal of solids and llquics Is a far more potent fac tor. Dr. Llewellyn believe, in the production of an ginal attacks than one of the solids alone. No liquid should be tskeu until at least an hour after a meaL The total Intake ot liquids even water-should, be re duced steadily to a degree to be determined by the circumstances of the case. A cup ot tea may be uken on arising iu the morning, but the Ukiug of solids spart from meals Is not allowed.- Alcohol la strictly forbidden in every esse. If the patient has been long habituated to Its use, the with drawal is made gradually. The use ot common salt Is restricted, and no article of diet rich in poUeslum should be tsken In Urge quantities. Rice Is preferable to potatoes. The withdrawal of protein ahould usually be effected gradually. In a few cases in relatively good general condition, however. Dr. Llewellyn reports thst he has mad a big reduction at once end with no unfavorable, results. , Copyrlsbt, Uli, by the Btar Company. Great ErlUIn Eight IWstrYcd." A
