Almost every one these days is begin- ing to discover that mental health is at least as important as physical health The fact is that the lack of mental health is even more prevalent than physical disease. There are as many people in mental hospitals today as there are in hospitals for all other rea- sons combined. And these figures take no account of the dozens of minor men- tal ailments which we all contract from ' time to time and from which we all re- cover without recourse to science | We don't go to a physician every time we get a blister on the heel. Neither do | we go to an asylum every time we get moody. Minor ailments don't count. They are soon forgotten, and prop- | erly so. | Mental hygiene differs in some re- spects from physical hygiene. In a case | of physical illness we take the doctor's word.” We generally get better, just as | he says we will. The doctor and Nature work together on the case. In the case of mental illness, we stay away from the doctor as leng as pos- sible.

PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. athlete, as in the patient with heart disease, the limit on physical exertion is set by the capacity of the heart to | pump sufficient blood through the lungs to supply the oxygen required by the active tissues. Having given the question a quarter of a century of study, Dr. Henderson has come to the conviction that the return of the blood from the veins to the right side of the heart is de- termined by the “tonus” or elasticity of all the muscles of the body which during contraction squeeze or press upon the veins, but especially the muscles of the front wall of abdomen and the diaphragm. In this conviction of the distin- guished physiologist I find great sat- isfaction. It seems to fit in o well with the breathing exercise which I freely recommend to persons with cold fee, high blocd pressure, pelvic and abdominal troubles. I should think it might give some consolation to Dr. Clelia Duel Mosher of Stanford Uni- versity, and to Dr. I. Rappaport of Breathing and Circulation. An adult at rest breathes about five quarts of air & minute. In the same time about five quarts of blood will be pumped . through _the lungs During physical activity the volume of air breathed: increases much more than does the volume of blood pumped through the lungs. With great exer- tion an adult may breathe as much as 50 quarts of air a minute, but, in the same time only 20 or 25 ‘quarts of blood will pass through the lungs. It is now known that as & rule a given blood corpuscle makes the com- plete circuit of the circulation in & minute, in man. In small animals the speed of the circulation is greater, say half & minute; in large animals it is slower, in the horse two or three minutes.
