DISEASE OF HEART
MORE DEADLY HERE
THAN TUBERCULOSIS
1910 Death List of 1902
Alarms Doctors, Who Seek
Prevention and Cure.

Heart disease has become - great a
menace In this city that the Depar-
ment OF Health has decided to wage
a campaign against II. In this work
Ii will cooperate with the Associa-
top for the Prevention and Relief OF
Heart Disease, OF which DR.. Lewis A.
Common Is Chairman.
Examination shows that there are
more than 10000 school children in
tho public schools alone who are soon
TO face the struggle for existence
badly handicapped by permanently
u Hospital 1.4lS patients were
treated for this ailmcnt. All wero
sufferers in the advanced stage.
The year 1916 shows a death toll
from heart disease in this city OF TO-
So. This record is larger than either
those OF tuberculosis or cancer. the
other major maladles. There were
1922 deaths from tuberculosis In all
forms in 1916 and but 400 from can
Ger during the same period.
Health Department officials say the
prevention of heart disease presents
both medical and social problems. be-
aus the causes are due to certain
diseases. various intoXications aud
unsuitable modes OF life and dietary
habits.
An exhaustive investigation Just
completed shows that rheumatism Is
the chief cause OF heart disease in
early life. In II report submitted to
the Health Department asking its CO.
operation, the Association for the Pre-
vontion and Relief Of Heart Disease
says:
Although we do not know the
causes OF acute rheumatism or how
IL invades the body, II Is quite certain
that We are dealing with a germ dis
cas- in which the Infection probably
enters through diseased tonsils, ade-
noids or dccayed teeth. The removal
" such tonsils and adcnoids II the
proper care OF the teeth seem to be
the most direct and preventive meas
ures against rheumatism Also the
value OF outdoor exercise and sum
Client sleep in well ventilated rooms
as preventive measures cannot be-
over-estimated."
IL la also claimed in the report that
the leading OF sedentary lives by
adults whose activities are chiefly
mental and who eat more and sleep
less than they should. brings on heart
diseases.
THE exact effect on the heart of
poisons developed by this nod OF
life. as well as derived from tho
habitual and Incorporate use OF alco-
hol. tobacco, tea and coffee. cannot
be precisely stated admits the re-
port. II adds. however: but II Is
evident that they play "A definite role
In causing degenerate diseases Of the
heart"
What the campaign against heart
disease aims at IL TO follow up all
cases from the schools and to en-
dcavor to exercise influence in sug-
costing the best possible vocations
for the sufferers. IL is hoped that in
time the heart disease victims in
schools viii he induced 10 select their
future occupations from a list OF the
least harmful to them.
