"ALARM BELLS OF THE HEART"
MEDICAL RESEARCH AT ST ANDREWS.
A great work is going forward at quiet St. Andrews (says the London 'Evening News'). U may almost be said that the ancient art of medicine is there being reborn. The story of this work is the story of a great Sir James Mackenzie, the famous heart specialist of Harley street, was at the very height of his fame when he abandoned his position and went to St. Andrews, there to study,-* not the full development of disease as it is presented to the Harley street specialist, but its insidious origins—the faint alarm bells that are rung in the body when something begins to be amiss. These warning notes are so slight that they are often neglected. A man finds that he feels "rather tired" at the end of the day, and thinks no more about it. But the researches which Sir James Mackenzie has set on foot have proved that this tired feeling is often an alarm bell—a warning thai serious disease is impending, and may be arrested. The method is a door into a new world of medicine —the medicine that does not cure disease, but prevents it.
