John Loudon Macadam, the inventor of the road that bears his name, labored for years to perfect his ideas, and although the parliament voted him it hardly covered his outlay.

Bow Sadden Death I'rom Heart Fallar May Be Prevented. Now the American idea of treating the heart, when it is diseased from overwork, is to stop the bad food and give good food. Nature will then remove from tho blood stream the physl eal causes of obstruction, and the heart will come down in size and be restored, simply because it has no more than its normal work to do. This is a principle of surgery, to-wit, to remove a foreign body from the eye, and the eye gets well of itself; nature will always cure If she has a chunce. This is repetition, but there is need of it Few have any idea how far the blood has to travel in the human body.

If the capillaries, which are 1-SOOOth of an inch in diameter, of the human body could be removed and put into one straight line, it is estimated that this line would reach around the globe; call it 1,000 miles, it is clear that it will take force to project water through such a tube, and that it would take more force to project molasses. Now, if the heart projects normal blood through this tube, it is also clear that it would have to work harder to project abnormally thick blood, and bo doing would grow bigger. The nerves of the heart are automatic, and do their work in their way as the nerves of the head do theirs. They appear to know when there is obstruction to the circulation, and they make the heart beat harder. When I was a medical student a snake was brought to be killed.

It was in a deep, empty glass jar, and a stream of carbonic acid gas was turned on. In a few minutes it was dead. All the gas was not used, but was turned on to the back of my hand; coon the skin was a livid lead color, was devoid of feeling, and paralyzed. Now this gas largely formed in the stomach, becomes absorbed through the heart sue, and paralyzes the heart. Probably this was so with Secretary Windoiu.

He had eaten and then he spoke. The force used in speaking was taken from the work of digestion so that the blood fermented, or he may have been drinking carbonic acid water, and the stomach was full of carbonic acid gas. Thence it exosposed into the heart sac and death followed. I knew a doctor (who knew better) to die from eating food which he knew would ferment, simply because he preferred the taste of his viands to their pathological effects. He is not alone; so long as mankind lives to eat and does not eat to live, just so long will sudden deaths from weak hearts occur.

It is not a wonder that Secretary Windom died; it is a marvel that he lived as long as he did. If his previous history is correctly given, he had symptoms of heart disease for some time. He was liable to die any moment, as Dr. Sims died in bed, Rev. Dr.

Dexter on a lounge, Dr. Cowdcn at the bedside of a patient, Almon W. Griswold on the elevated road, and many others. We should be thankful that Secretary Windom was permitted to read his address and thus splendidly close his life, for, so long as he lived on the conventional diet of starch and sugar in excess, no one could tell how long he could survive. Again Secretary Windom had treatment, but it was neutralized by a too close attention to business and possibly by the late financial, world-wide panic, in which people looked to the government for relief for the evils brought on by speculation.

People forget it is work to live that each person has a limited amount of dynamic energy to expend in doing life work. Ten hours of brain work a day is enough. Longer work than this steals from some other organ. If it is the heart, it will give out. If it is the stomach, it will not digest the food.

If one has a broken bone and works too hard, the bone will not unite. So when people overeat or eat food that is hard to digest, they put a like strain on their system. N. Y. Tribune.
