Rest Does Not Cure

People suffering from heart trouble should be as quiet as possible and should avoid over-exertion, excitement, and anger. They should not partake of highly-seasoned or fried food, or of food difficult to digest. Foods that are baked, boiled, or steamed are more suitable. Physicians frequently advise that the sufferer stay in bed. This is good advice for a time, but it will bring no permanent relief.
