A nervous wreck from the excitement and strain of London's gay life, she is taken by her aunt, Mrs. Gladwyn, to a famous specialist's office. The physician or- ders her to the country for a long rest. She rebels, but the doctor is handsome and sympathetic. She learns that he is not the great man himself but an assistant, Dr. Rath- bone.

Heart disease of children and of young people is very often due to an infection of. the heart during rheum- atic fever. Rheumatic fever may oc- cur in young people, without painful joints, and yet' at the same time, damage the heart.. So it is that there are many individuals with. damaged hearts, due to rheumatic fever, who never knew that they had the disease. It is because of such possibilities that parents should regard seriously the sore throat, growing pains, fev- erishness, or even the state of just through lacy boughs, sound inthe house, and with a little not feeling we11, of their young child- "Where is this place?" she asked elfish smile she put the bed clothes ren.

She some moments, then Diana asked: trnade an effort to rise but checked is the foundation to prevent Or .tot rnimtze heart conditions growing out of rheumatic fever. The most important point in con- nection with heart disease in adult life is that 'it be detected in its early stages. Those ,individuals who make: it e practice to have a periodic health 'examination will have any abnormal' heart condition discovered in ' good: time. Otherwise; its detection ,de- pends upon each individual's going; to his doctor when there is any sense of a lack of his usual well-being. It must be understood that, in the ear- ly stages of heart disease, the symp- toms may be very slight. In general, when heart disease has developed, the first thing to be done. is to give the heart a rest, and allow- it llowitto regain its strength. This means• complete rest in bed, and it can 'be - said that there is no medicine which. takes tle' place of rest. Medicine is useful inits proper place, but it is secondary to rest. The next point is that persons who have developed heart disease must, regulate their future lives to the cap- acity of their hearts. This is not an eney thing 'to do for the mother of young children or the man who earns his living by manual labor. There is, however, no known means where- by . the heart 'can be protected from further breakdowns other than ,by° not calling upon it to do more than. it is capable of doing in its damaged. condi tion.
