George didn't know it either
He left his car at the garage on the way to
the Office Friday morning. He was a fuss
budget about his car. Any little knock in the
engine turned him off the highway into the
nearest service station.
mo use letting thing like that go, he'd
say Another hundred miles and it might be

So George turned his car over to the
mechanic Friday morning even though he
didn't feel much like walking the six blocks
down to the Office He had a full day ahead:
Board of Directors meeting that morn
ing, business lunch date, and golf that
afternoon with couple of clients.
He wished the nagging little pain in his
chest would let up. 1t had spread down into
his left hand and arm. He'd been bothered
with it every once in while, though it
usually went away when he got chance to
rest. George promised himself that this sum-
mer he'd take vacation. He hadn't thought
he could take time off these last few years.

list of those who died too young
A generation or so ago, fear was justified.
In our grandfathers day. diagnosis of heart
disease equalled a sentence of early death.
With present knowledge, such fear is
out of date. We know now that heart dis
ease is not single aiIment. Many troubles
can affict the heart, some less serious than
others. More important none of them needs
to shorten life if the condition is diagnosed
early enough and subjected to proper treat
ment
An excellent case in point is angina bectorts,
most familiar and dreaded form of heart dis
ease. Literally, angina pectoris means simply
'strangling in the chest" In an angina attack,
the arteries around the crown of the heart
are unable to carry the load of blood pumped
into them, and the heart muscle "chokes"
for lack of oxygen.
angina pectoris is not disease in itself but
merely symptom which may result from

With an effort, George smiled and scribbled
back, mo thanks III make it."
He did make it, too - through lunch and
up to the fourth hole on the golf course. Then
he whacked his ball into sand trap and on
the first swing to get it out. the pain hit him
violently. George collapsed. His name was
added - unnecessarily - to the roster of
more than half million Americans who die
of diseases of the heart and blood vessels
every year.
Here Are the Statistics
AT FIRST glance, present-day statistics are
frightening:
Four million Americans have heart disease
-Four million more have high blood pressure
or other diseases of the circulation
Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart dis
ease claim more than 100000 sufferers

A Wish Comes True

fatal. Here's what medical science is doing to

of the next five leading causes of death, more
than five times as great as the annual accident
toll.
1t all adds up to this: Heart disease is our
biggest national health and medical problem.
Fortunately, it is not an insoluble problem
The bugaboo of heart statistics loses some
of its terror when we understand the figures
thoroughly Part of the increase in sheer
numbers is explained by modern methods of
medical bookkeeping. As scientists have
learned more about the heart, many deaths
which might have been attributed genera
ton ago to old age. kidney disease, cerebral
hemorrhage or acute indigestion are now
properly classified as heart fatalities
Also, we discover that more than two
thirds of the current increase in heart deaths
occur among the elderly. People live longer
now that medical science controls many of
the infectious diseases Many persons who
have escaped these former hazards finally
die of heart disease.
