What are the reasons for these fear
fully increased ravages OF disease? Ac-
cording to Mr. Rittenhouse. they prob
ably are (a). the radical change in the
American way of living (bl, the growth
of luxury (c). the increase of sedentary
occupation: ID, the lack Of proper pre-
caution and preventable action. At least
50 per cent. or nearly 200. 900. of deaths
from the principal degenerative diseases
are preventable or postponable If
precautionary measures are taken early.
The death rate here from these malta
dies far exceeds that in England and
Wales
But one simple remedial suggestion is
offered by Mr.. Rittenhouse to Ameri-
cans of middle age-that they consult
the family physician at regular periods
for general examination. Such course
tends to insure the early discovery OF
disease ssd defective health. and allow
them TO be cured or checked before II
is too late to do anything.
