"In the
first place that put me on what seems to be a clear trail. The
most dreaded of all the ills of the cardiac and vascular systems
nowadays seems to be arterio-sclerosis, or hardening of the
arteries. It is possible for a man of forty-odd, like Mr. Pitts,
to have arteries in a condition which would not be encountered
normally in persons under seventy years of age.
"The hard or hardening artery means increased blood pressure, with
a consequent increased strain on the heart. This may lead, has led
in this case, to a long train of distressing symptoms, and, of
course, to ultimate death. Heart disease, according to statistics,
is carrying off a greater percentage of persons than formerly.
This fact cannot be denied, and it is attributed largely to worry,
the abnormal rush of the life of to-day, and sometimes to faulty
methods of eating and bad nutrition. On the surface, these natural
causes might seem to be at work with Mr. Pitts. But, Walter, I do
not believe it, I do not believe it. There is more than that,
here.
