Then
consider
the
heart
itself.
One
cannot
underestimate
the
functional
importance
of
this
organ.
It
is
commonly
regarded
as
the
most
vital
spot
in
the
body,
the
very
center
of
life-indeed
the
poets
have
made
it
the
seat
of
love
and
the
emotions
in
general.
If
anything,
the
brain
and
nervous
system
should
be
regarded
as
the
real
center
of
life,
but
the
function
of
the
heart,
the
marvelous
muscle-pump,
is
so
vital
and
indispensable
that
the
world
is
accustomed
to
thinking
of
it
as
the
organ
of
first
importance.
And
so
it
is.
Should
it
cease
its
efforts
for
a
few
moments
even,
life
becomes
extinct,
and
you
are
no
longer
an
animate
being.
A
strong
heart,
therefore,
is
if
anything
even
more
important
than
a
strong
stomach.
But
you
must
remember
that
the
strength
of
the
heart
to
a
large
extent
depends
upon
the
cooperation
of
a
strong
stomach,
or
at
least
upon
the
proper
digestion
of
food.
For
the
muscles
and
tissues
of
the
heart,
like
those
of
all
other
organs
of
the
body,
are
fed
by
the
blood,
which
depends
for
its
life-giving
and
life-
sustaining
qualities
upon
the
food,
which
is
first
acted
upon
by
the
stomach
and
thus
made
available
for
use
by
the
cell
structures
in
all
parts
of
the
body.
The
heart
is
truly
a
wonderful
organ,
the
one
set
of
muscles
which
apparently
never
rest,
but
work
on
night
and
day,
year
after
year,
throughout
our
entire
life.
