An infusion made from the woody partitions inside the walnut is excellent in cases where the coronary vessels have become hardened, and for cardiac pains and fever. A narrowing of the coronary vessels can often be attributed to chronic nicotine poisoning. The doctor and knowledgeable friends may have encouraged the patient on more than one occasion to quit smoking because of his heart trouble, the so-called angina pectoris. Unfortunately, the nicotine addiction often triumphs over health considerations, and severe chest pains will continue to plague the smoker. Would he continue to smoke if he knew that every severe attack of angina pectoris leaves a small scar in the muscle tissue of the heart? I wonder. Still, his unreasonableness may compel him to carry on smoking and the final result will be a myocardial infarction, death of the tissues in the myocardium. Many weeks resting in bed may bring about an improvement in his condition, but it is not to be mistaken for a cure. For once again, instead of healthy pink muscle tissue, the patient will be left with yet another white scar on the heart. Even so he must consider himself fortunate, as a ‘heart attack’ can sometimes lead to a rupture of the heart, which would be fatal.
