' 6 TAKE NOTE OF HEART BEATS j qui Wlwn That Organ Says "Luff-Duff" It jjna Is Full Time to Take a Vacation. Do you know what a doctor hears ; ^ when he sounds your chest and listens _ue| to your heart beating? c'lai Your heart, if It Is quite sound Ara( makes a noise very like "lub-dup, lnb- dlin, dap, lub-dup" all the time. Pearson's ej Weekly says. The two sylylables come (.h)] very quickly together and between 1 yea| aa n V\ "luK Ihnrn nnmno d n q nun - ?, , wor the short period when the heart Is trU( resting. as it were. | tjm< The "lub" sound is due to the blood w flowing out of the heart and the "dup" ^ Is the closing of the heart's valves. q Just by the loudness of tbeHe two sylla- ord blea the doctor knows if your heart is . working as it should be. , t Supposing the "dup" is very loud, j . .. for Instance; that tells hiin that the ., ' ' leri valves are being "slammed to." just ^ as a door is, and that the pressure Is greater than It should be. The cause ^ of this Is generally what Is Known as r .. ; may an aneurism. I . * If the valves are not closing prop- ^ erly the doctor hears a sound like *v?1 "dufT" Instead of "dup." The heart is e then said to have a "murmur," and ? the physician knows what steps to take to correct it. * y When the first sound, "lub," is soft- ?? ened into "luff" It warns the doctor * e that his patient has something wrong na * with the mitral valve. The "lub" sound Is always very much weaker when n one 1b suffering from fever, and It is this weakness, due to the weakness of HA1 the heart muscles, which makes the doctor so anxious at those times. When the heart says "luff-duff" ho i ^ tellB you to knock off work for a time i anr1 hnvn n rnmnlpfn rpst for vour i heart is in a bad way. | fj 1 stur LIKE SO MUCH "DEAD HORSE" ma" ! mim Man Who Paid Debt With Check Will tho Die In the Belief That He Has an fl Settled Twice. mal tion A man made a bet with his wife? cu'a which was indiscreet. ^ The wife won?which was foreor- lunf datned.
