The weather alone has not been responsible for
the enormous number OF deaths reported as sudden
People live too fast: they eat and drink too much
and too often and too rapidly. Some smoke too
much. Others whizz through the streets and-coun-
try roads In automobiles. and while they may
escape accidents. die suddenly In bed or elsewhere
from heart disease.
People who up elevated railroad stairwavs
10 catch a train may lose their lives as a result
The men and women who rush subway stairs
die while doing. but they NAV die the
next day suddenly from heart disease though up
90 that time there may have been no disease OF
the heart. II is the same with people walking ra D.
