Show "WEAK HEART" A BUGBEAR. Physician Gives Some Plain Talk on the Subject. It is a harmful till'"; for any one to coddle his heart when there is no disease, and I think wo (tho medical profession) are far too Instrumental In aiding an'! abetting t Is. Wo do far more goou by pronouncing pronoun-cing people sound, even if out of health, and thus sending them forth with renewed hope, than by keeping them in tho chains of uncertainty nnd nervous dread, than which nothing can bo moro crushing to the utility of a llfo or moro harmful to tho chanco of regaining health. I know of no sympton'3 of a "weak heart." Yet the use of t' o term leads cither to a p to of ncrvo- 3 dread from which recovery Is most difficult, or else to a l."o of luxurious idleness, which, by the enervation It causes, Is likely soonr or later to bo precedent to tho end It would soMc to avoid.
