A cure has been found ror heart disease.
No drugs arc used In this treatment. All
that Is renulrod of thp patient Is that he
Hhall take frequent baths , followed by cer
tain exercises , as In a gymnasium Persons
who were unable to walk have been cured
by thla simple treatment. It Is known ns
the "resisted movement1 euro and It has
made n town famous Had Nouhclm , which
is situated about twenty miles from Prank-
fort , In German ) , Is full of heart dlsiviBe
patients nnil It ii the mecca toward which
thousand * of sufferers nro getting ready to
travel. This , howexcr , is merely because
these pcoplo can afford to go to headquar
ters , but It Is a fact that an ) one can learn
the treatment and ha\o It administered nt
home.
Thcso facts are reasonably Important , for
it Is calculated that the majority of persons
In the Unltl-d States nt least have some form
of heart disuse. This In due to the high
pressure tinder which we ll\e The result
is because the condition has been suddcnl )

commingling which has brought about the
Mottling and development of America. It

Kraph , the railroad , the telephone , the tpe-
wrlter anil all of the other quickening In-
ventlons of the ago. Sliced became the ono
Krcat necessity. The days of slow JournejH ,
long letter writing , etc , were past. Men
now began to rush Into the cities on fast
tmlns. They made fortunes In stock ex
changes by methods which depended for
success on the difference In tlmo between
the east and the -nest. They rushed out /o

placed K number of flat plrcf of gutti

chests of men , women and children HP
piled these chips one above the other Just

of the heart could not be heard through
the pile. Vcrordt removed the chlr * from

be heard. In this waj he got T compirlson
of the Intensity of the sounds He con-
flrmcd the Idea .that different parts of the
heart made different sounds. There were
two distinct sounds one a low-pitched vi
brating sound of about forty vibrations a.
second , the other a s und In the ba. e clef
cf between 100 and 200 vibrations n sec

other Investigators They were enabled to
detect differences In hearts which before
that were not known to exist The treat
ment of heart dlscaso by sound became
an Important matter In the medical profes
sion. However , physicians knew more of
the existence of the condition than they
did of mcann of alleviating It

"Prof Schott of Had Nauhelm. German ) ,
began some jcars ago to treat heart dis
ease , not as most physicians had treated
It that Is , with the fear that any exertion
might prove fatal but with the Idea that
P.S a phvslcal organ the heart was susceptible
of the same clmnges as would be any other
phjelcal organ If surrounded b ) a like con
dition. Schott and his brother were led to
these conclusions by an accident. It ap
pears that these men , while treating neu
rasthenics some years ago , found that In
forcing the blood to the nerve centers the
volume of the pulse was Increased , while at
the Bamc tlmo KB rate was diminished As
this result was desirable when treating loss
of compensation In heart disease , they ap
plied the method In chronic cases , with
such satisfactory results that It has been
recognized and emplovcd b ) many of the
bent practitioners In Europe.
"Prof. George Oliver of England had
shown that n healthy arm , after being exer
cised , displaced more water In a vessel than
It did before It was exercised. This was
attributed to the fact that the blood had
thickened during exertion. Prof. Schott at
Nauhclm knew that walking smartly across
a room would often diminish the rapldltj
and Increase the force , for the tlmo being ,
of n weakly jachtlng heart. He decided to
treat the heart for its development as ho
cxcrclncd him lightly , Increasing the resist
ant e and IL.C work JU the days went on.
His dully routine was about ns follows
He arose at S breakfasted on soft boiled
eggs , weak coffee and Zwttnlk at 8 30 ;
bathed at t 30 slept at 10 for an hour ;
exercised at 11 rested from 12 until 1 ,
when he dined , rested an hour , * ent to walk
at 3. returned and rested until f , when he
dined , retired at t p m He was allowed
but ono cigar a dav In deference to his de
mands ( although no tobacco should be Al
lowed In any forml and enl > the sour wines.
At the end of four months he could walk
five miles n dnv , and he wan discharged

"Hut It Is not necessary to go to Ger

ment There was Dr. Quernse ) , editor of Hie
Medlral Times , who some months ago could
not walk half a block He weighed 37C
pounds nnd was Tit vears old. Ho had been

suffered from subncute rheumatism His
pulse was feeble. Intermittent and usually

along with other drugs , tincture of digitalis ,

put on the modified Natlhelm resistance ex

The latter Is violent , while the Nauhclm

Dr. Thomas C. Sattcrthwalto of New York ,
who Is on the staff of the Post Rraduatc and

"Tho heart , toeing the central pumping
ntatlon for all the rapidly moving currents
of the human ibody , Is naturally very sus
ceptible of changes that may take place In
those currents. It mny vary greatly In
bulk during twenty-four hours. Its bent
may go down to fifty and up to three hun

in this organ may mean to the body at

place In a "healthy " man , In a dlsc.uicd man
the difference becomes much greater. It

There is no argument so good ns an ab-

There is nothing so interesting as fact.
In the true happen

people are materials

novels. There are
every day stories of
heroism , buffering
and the final tn-

finally crow ning en-

case in point :
In the county of Kscambia in Alabama
is the little town of Fjomaton and there
lives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She \vas a
good wife nnd mother hut several jears
ngo she found her health slipping nway
from her. She realized that tins meant
the inevitable nervousness and irritability
that would surely lose for her the affec
tion of her children and husband , and
that as her health declined discord and
miser'would appear in her home. She
was filled with the loving motherly in
stinct , but two miscarriages in succession
almost broke her heart. She had almost
lost liojx ; when the clouds rolled nwny
and the light of health and happiness
returned.
She tells her story in these words ;

! would any other muscular organ of thu
body. He proceeded to treat It from the
standpoint of the iclatlon of exercise to
growth. All bodlfy organs which nre exer
cised grow ; any organ which Is not exer
cised ceases Its development. Prof. Schott
determined to exercise the heart.
1'ltv Ti ontnifiil.
"Tho treatment Involved first a seiles c <
preparatory baths In the waters of the mt-
ural springs which exist In Nauhelm. The
stimulating effect of these waters prepares
the sufferer for the exercise which followh
The exercise Involves ever ) mus-IP In the
body. No apparatus Is u > , pd The patient Is
told to make certain motions which bring
certain muscles Into pla ) , but when he tries
to do It an attendant catches him by the
arm , or the leg , whichever pirt Is to bo
moved and tries to stop the movement The
patient must do It In spite of the attendant ,
the 'resistance' causing him moio exertion
than If he were left unobstructed. In consequence
quence the houses of Nauhelm seem nt time ?
to bo full of men and women wrestling with
ono another. One man will bo seen swinging
his hands over his head llko a human wind
mill , while an attendant stands l.esldo him
on a chair , holding his wrists and tring to
stop him Another man will bo found h and-
Ing on one leg and moving the other violently
lently , while an attendant holds on firlmlj
to his ankle nnd will not be shaken oil.
Still another , Htnndlng with his back to
the wall , seems bent on falling flat on bis
face In spite of the attendant , who persist
ently props him up as he comes forward.
Others around about seem to he Indulging In
sparring matches , the attendants in every
case resisting th'e movements of theli
charges. All of these people are under
treatment for heart dlfease.
"In other parts of the place men , women
and children are being bathed , some of tbem
In brine , others In water which Is hardl )
brackish The new-comer Is given n simple
bath In the water of the springs , which has
been freed frcm carbonic acid and diluted
with fresh , warm water. After n few days
the fresh , warm water Is left out and ho gets
the spring water at normal temperature ,
but with most of the carbonic acid extracted
Next he Is put Into a bathtub , which IH
charged > wlth the salts and carbonic Just as
It emerges from the earth. The fourth and
final stage of tbo bathing sranccs calls for a
bath like the one just mentioned except thnt
the water Is allowed to run In and out of
the tub constantly None but a quite vig
orous person can tnke thin form of bath
without III effect. These baths nro really the
first stage of the exercise treatment and
they are given to diminish the frequency
and to Increase the force of the pulse beat
Irn iv I UK' Oil NnrpliiM Illnuil ,
"When the pitlcnt comes for tieatmcnt
It la usually found that his bean Is clogged
and dilated with blood The ( list thing
to do then , naturally , Is draw this blood
as far away from the central organ ad pos
sible. The heated bath Is the beginning cf
the process of withdrawal The caplllarlra
of the skin nro relieved of their natural
store of 'blood nnd some of the over-supply
in the heart rushes out to supply the lose ,
In the second stage of the bathing the car
bonic gas numbs the skin , "practically It
paralyzes the capillaries and Increases the
rush of blood from the heart. In the third
form of bath the chloildo of calcium bets up
an Irritation which makes the body appear
as It covered with nettle rash. It U the
advanced stage of the process by which the
heart Is relieved of overwork. It prepares
the patient for the exercise that follows.
"Hundreds have been benefited by the
Nauhelm treatment , but there are famous
cases which stand out prominently from
the rest. These cases naturally are the \ i
constant subject of 'talk by the newcouicis
who go to take the baths There was the .
broken down Englishman , 50 years old vvha
was carried Into Naubclm , helpless from
heart disease , gout , d > rpepsla and enlarged '
liver , He could not walk a step They cut
down his food supply at once , allowing him
about half of what he really wanted to cnt
They bathed him In diluted water at ilist ,
gradually Increasing the strength of the
solution. At the end of a week he could
walk a little , and he began to take a con
stitutional of flvc ; ards a day. Then they
nfrnld they could not be thoroughly Im
pressed with the absolute necessity of goIng -
Ing slow. Every movement should be nude
nb slowl ) ns possible , nnd the rests between
each movement nre quite ns Important as
the movement Itself. On the other hand , I
bellevo the cure can be carried on with even
I better effect In America than In German ) .
Schott has no exclusive right to the baths.
Thev are public affairs , under the control
of the government , nnd there are twenty
doctors In Nnuhelm giving the treatment.
The baths , too , are open only during the
summer months. In America our excellent
plumbing arrangements arc wclf adapted to
the purpose In Nauhelm the patients have
to go In the daytime and stand around In the
open , waiting to cool off. Heic v\e give the.
baths at bedtime , with mu"h greater effect ,
j The difficulty of procuring a substitute for
I the Nauhelm salts will have to be bridged by
the family phslclan. I believe the crystal
lized product of the baths con bo Imported ,
but the Ingredients con be produced chem
ically If you can obtain pea salt , chloride
of calcium , bicarbonate of soda , muriatic
acid and n bath tub > on will have all of the
espentla s of the Nauhelm bath , but I should
not cnre to put thcso chemicals Into the
hands of the inexperienced layman. He
might do damage to hlmcelf nnd the tub.
Ilbtter go to a chemist and nava him mix
you up the aeccssar ) Ingredients. Almost
any doctor should be able to give the pre
scription The bath should be only slightly
sallno at flist , gradual ! ) Increasing In
strength as the das go forward. Do not
attempt the strong solution at Hist , or li

There are Indications that n new Interest
has been awakened among the very wealthy
men of the country In the subject of great
philanthropies Men and women arc giving
or preparing to give away , millions to one
great charity or another It looks ns though
Andrew Carnegie's dictum that to die rich
Is to die disgraced , was making a good many
converts among the millionaires.
If It Is a disgrace to die rich , what are
our wealthy men to do with their millions ?
What are the objects and who are the sub
jects likely to profit by well-directed char-
It)7 Are our millionaires ready to glvo
( iway their wealth , or a part of If These
nnd other questions connected with this new
movement now on foot among the wealth )
are answered by some of the most prominent
millionaires and philanthropists In the coun
try John I ) Rockfellcr Is reported to be worth
$300,000,000 or more. He has given away at
least $ JO,000,000. He holds decided views on
the subject of charltabl ) giving and emploS
ftlmoncrs to see that his own beneficences
bring good results .Mr. Rockefeller savs
" 1 hold that It Is ever ) man's duty to
make as much as he can and to glvo nwny
as much as he can to good purpose. True
philanthropy , like charity , begins at home
It the millionaire Invests his money In bus
iness that provides employment for large
numbers of men , If he pavs his cmploves
well , so that they can work out their own
advancement , he Is fulfilling his duty to the
community and doing the greatest amount
of good to the worklngmen.
"As for the surplus wealth which n man
may accumulate beyond his own needs nnd
those of his family , there arc n variety of
useful wajs In which it may be cmplojcd.
1 linvo nlwajs been Interested In church
work , and conceive It to be my first duty to

the cause of educntlon appeals to nio. If i
rich man has any duties beyond those of his
feHows , In n countiy like this , whoso sta
bility depends upon the intelligence and
moral character of Its cltl/cns , It Is to help
toward the moral nnd Intellectual betterment
of those who lack advantages or opportuni
ties. 1 do not believe there Is any man In
the country today with $1,000,000 bejond his
own personal nnd business needs who would
not glvo It to liny object which ho felt per
fectly sure would help the cltbcushlp of the
country In these two rcbpccts. "

Philip D. Armour , who has given away
$10,000,000 , and has not jet stopped , savs
"While I do not pretend to be nn authority
on scientific charity , I have tried to embody
my own Ideas on the subject In the Armour
Institute. "
As th3 Armour Institute Is conducted for
the purpose of giving the poor bojs of Chicago
cage technical and trade education , Mr. Ar
mour evidently agrees with Mr Rockefeller
In holding to the educational idea.
There are o'hcrs ' who believe that there
are better wavs of emplojing wealth ttian
bv giving it awny. C. P. Huntlngton Is one
of these. lie savs1
"Suppose n man who has made $ > 0,000,000
or $100,000,000 In buslncps withdraws that
sum and gives It awny In anj form he may
select. The chances are nine out of ten that
his money will do less real good than It
would If ho had left It where It was. Great
wealth Is desirable only for what It can ac
complish. I think we are coming more and
more to nppi eclat o that. But it can accom
plish more bj slicking to Its legitimate field
than it can bj going out of Its way to pio-
mete Utopian schemrs or by spoiling joung
nien by overeducatlng them.
"It is the duty of great wealth to cany
out great Industrial and commercial enter
prises , which result In cheapened pioduc-
tlon or more opportunities for labor. If
seventy-five millions can so develop our
trade with the east that we can get one of
our i.cccesary ccmmpdltlcfc a cent a pound
cheaper , It will do more good In the c-nd
than lr It is distributed among the people of
thf > countiy , giving them $1 aple'e In direct
cLnrlty. If n man sots a great Industrial

good and the question of what to do v llh
his ii.cney dceh not bother hl'n , because It
Is fully octcupled "
J. Plcrpnnt .Mcrgin . has given monej to
build hospitals , to buy worKf of art for pub
lic museums and to help build a great cathc-
dial. Apparently he thinks the millions
given to the first of these cbjects the best
emplojed , for he says
"When ono looks about and sees the
misery and suffering caused by Hcknens
among those who have not themselves the
means to lelleve It , he cannot help feeling
that to alleviate n little of It Is the duty
of those who have been fortunats or suc
cessful. The care of the sick poor Is , In
my opinion , our most practical charity. "

nu'sell Sage agrees with Mr. Morgan that
to relieve the Ick Is a charity that should
apppcal to wealthy men. l\tr. Sage recently
gave several thousands toward a woman's
hospital. However , he does not agree with
Mr. Carnegie's dictum. He sa)8-
"I do not Bee how It is a dlggiace for n
man to die rich. If It Is , I am afraid thnt
Mr Carnegie will die disgraced. My own
opinion is that a man may toettor employ
his money In productive enterprises that

"Undoubtedly our wealth ) men are com

"I believe that If any man has a million

there are thousands of men in the countr )
all the time who ore willing and anxious to
