The President of the Board of Di.
rectors of the Home for Incurables is
making an appeal for financial aid
and is addressing the following letter
to the people ofMaryland:
'In the name of humanity, will you
read it thru and consider it? 1t is not
an appeal for citizens of far-off
country; it is an appeal in behalf of
your neighbors turnout Maryland, of
all denominations, suffering from in
durable diseases.
eve are indeed blessed who know
that in times of illness those near
and dear to us are given every pos
s.ble attention. But let your thoughts
dwell. a moment on the pathetic help
lessness, he infinite misery land the
abject hopelessness of hundreds of in
cuarbles who are denied even the
privilege of comfort and good care.
"There is nothing more crushing
than the thought of being 'Incurable;'
it means that even in this age of pro-
gress there is no avenue of aid to look
to-science admits defeat and room
in the hospitals is withheld in favor
of those for whom there is a chance
for ultimate cure.
"For these poor "Incurables" there
is but one Beacon of Hope-The Home
for Incurables. And even We must
now admit partial defeat. There are
so many "Incurables" in this great
State that daily our list of applica-
tons for admission to the Home in
creases, and all we can do is file these
pathetic applications until vacancy
we have room for only
81.
"It is the desire to double this ca.
pacity and we are asking the people
of Baltimore and Maryland to con-
tribute towards the total of 100000
necessary to remodel the home to
compare favorably with similar homes
in other states and increase the ca
pacity. The Board of Directors and
the Board of Managers and a few
friends who are interested in the
Home have already contributed $780,
300.
"In closing, may we remind you
that time passes slowly to those poor
souls waiting for admission to the
Home. Won't you give this appeal
your immediate consideration and help
Us get under way without any unnec-
sssary loss of time?
Contributions should be directed

STATISTICS SHOW
HEART DISEASES
ARE MOST FATAL
Review Of Series Of Years
Show Number Of Deaths
In Maryland
TUBERCULOSIS DROPS
IN LIST OF FATALITIES

organic heart disease has gradual
ly outdistanced all other causes of
death in the counties of Maryland,
according to figures compiled by DIR.
F. V. Better, Chief of the Bureau OF
Vital Statistics, of the State Depart
ment of Health. Tables giving the
twenty principal causes of death for
a series of years, beginning with 1918
show that in that year which was the
year of the great influenza epidemic,
influenza, pneumonia, organic heart
disease, tuberculosis, and Bright's
disease, occupied first, second, third,
fourth and fifth places, respectively,
as cause of death. In 1919 when con-
ditions were more normal, organic
heart disease with 1106 deaths, or
one-tenth of the total mortality dur
ing the year, exceeded all other single
causes Of death, and gained first place
which it has held ever since. In 1920,
the number of deaths from this cause
was 1928; in 1921 there were 1882
deaths from organic heart disease! in
1922, the number was 1143; in 1923
the last year for which itemized
tables have been prepared-organic
heart disease claimed 1927 persons, or
one-eighth of all who died during the
year.
Other changes that have occurred
during the five year period beginning
with 1919, areequally interesting. Tu-
berculosis, which was the leading
cause of death previous to that time,
has gone down to third place, and
Bright's disease now ranks second a.
mong the causes of death.
Commenting on these changes, DR..
R. H. Riley, chief of the Burau of
Communicable diseases, said "the de-
crease in tuberculosis can justly be
attributed to the educational and pre-
ventive work that has been carried
on for nearly twenty years in connec-
ton with that one disease.
"But when you realize that a single
disease carries off between 800 and
900 people every year in the counties
of Maryland, you have to admit that
we still have huge fight on our
hands before we will get rid of the
dragon of tuberculosis.
"The increase in organic heart dis
ease and in Bright's disease may both
be attributed to the rush and hurry
of our present ways of living and a
warning against such rush and hurry
and likewise worry-could we'll be
issued to each of us.
"But medical science has shown
conclusively that much of the heart
disease and also of the diseases Of the
kidneys which now figure so largely
in the total causes of death, are the
by-products of some infection. Very
often theyhave been found to be the
after effects of some well-known dis
ease, such as typhoid fever, for in
stance; or even of the so-called dis
eases of hildhood-measles, scarlet
fever, diphtheria.
accordingly, outstanding service
is rendered by the forces that are or
ganized to protect the health of the
public, quiet as much by the preven-
ton of the infectious diseases, with
their damaging after effects, as by
the actual saving of human life"
