Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:

a drummer oi.
YOUR HEART?
When a march . . . such as "The Stars and Stripes
Forever" . . . is played in standard marching time, the
bass drummer beats his drum around 70 times a minute.
Your heart, however, beats even faster . . . about 72
times a minute or more than 4,000 times an hour. Moreover,
your heart, unlike the drummer, never gets a chance
to rest, save for a fraction of a second between beats. On
and on it beats to pump about 240 gallons of blood
throughout the body every hour, year in and year out.
Multiply the heart's hourly output of work by the days,
months and years that it functions during an average lifetime,
and you will realize how wonderfully sturdy and
efficient the healthy heart is.
The heart also has remarkable reserves of strength and
recuperative powers. Even after it has been seriously impaired,
the heart is often capable of continuing its work
tor years . . . if care is taken not to overburden it.
Yet, despite the strength of the heart, diseases of this
organ lead all other causes of death. There are many reasons
why fatalities from heart disease have mounted. For example,
more and more people are living to older ages
when hearts naturally lose their ability to carry on.
If you would keep your heart working efficiently throughout
life, never wait for symptoms to jolt you into giving
it the consideration it deserves. Indeed, if you are approaching
middle age, now is the time to help your heart by
following such safeguards as these:
I. Have regular, thorough health examinations. These
are important not only for detecting heart trouble
early, but also for detecting other diseases that could
affect the heart.
2. Slow down after 40. Make a determined effort to eliminate
hurry, bustle and over-exertion from your daily
life. If you want to continue sports, don't overdo
them.
3. Don't overeat. Mortality from heart disease occurs
one and one half times more often among overweight
people than among those of normal weight. This is
reason enough for keeping your weight down.
4. Get the rest you need. Plenty of sleep and relaxation
contribute much to both your physical and mental
health. When you relax, so does your heart.
Should heart disease occur, it should not necessarily
mean the end of useful, rewarding activity. In fact, even a
damaged heart may outlast a much stauncher heart that
is abused, providing a person really takes care of his or
her heart and protects it against undue strain.
