Fighters Against Heart Disease
by LOUIS N. KATZ, M.D.
President, American Heart Association
Investigators in the field of heart
research are faced with the greatest
medical challenge of our time. Their
urgent task is the development of
new, improved methods for the pre¬
vention, care and treatment of
diseases which lead all others, in
this country as a cause of death
and disability. The health, the very
lives of millions of Americans de¬
pend on how successfully our re¬
search fighters agalhst heart dis¬
ease reach their vitally important
objectives.
In 1950, 745,000 Americans died
of diseases of
the heart and
blood vessels. It
is estimated that
at least 10,000,
000 men, women
and children are
crippled In Vary¬
ing degrees by
some form of
these diseases.
90
cent of all heart disease is the re¬
sult of either high blood pressure,
rheumatic fever or hardening of the
coronary arteries. And science has
not yet found the basic cause of
any one of these three.
So the first and greatest chal¬
lenge confronting heart research is
the challenge of the unknown. But
even though our research investi¬
gators have not yet been able
solve this vast problem of the un
known causes of the three
types of heart disease, they
made significant progress on
fronts.
Operations on the heart are
tainly among the wonders of
ern surgery. They have
now life to the most pathetic of
heart disease sufferers,

Started down the street on their
first date. “Wherfe I come from,”
chided the young man, stuffily,
“people would as soon see a wom¬
an put on her stockings in public,
as her gloves.”
“Where I come from,” retorted
the young lady, “they'd rather!"
Careful Scot
Jock MacGregor was a shy young
Scot, anxious to get married but
hardly knowing how to go about it.
At length he thought he saw his op¬
portunity in a dispatch printed in
the local newspaper. It told of a
comely young woman who had
agreed to marry any man who would
pay her father’s debts.
Jock called on the money-minded
lady, found her to be the pampered
daughter of an indulgent widowed
father, very pretty and most agree¬
able. A match seemed very much in
prospect, until Jock’s native caution
moved him to ask a question the
young woman dared not answer.
“Lassie,” the cagey suitor re¬
marked, "before I marry you, and
pay your father’s debts, tell me this:
“Who got your old man in debt in
tha first place?”
Hold That Temper

for a dining-room set she doted on,

market. She returned to find her
small son seated under the new ta¬

disease has been striking. For ex¬
ample, the antibiotics such as peni¬
cillin have given physicians power¬ infec¬
ful weapons against “strep”
tions winch precede attacks of
rheumatic fever. The antibiotics
have made It possible to prevent
the.onset of this disease which is a
leading disabler of children. Again,,
drugs which slow blood clotting,,
when used under proper controls,,
have opened the way to reduction
in deaths following heart attacks.*
These and many other advances
have changed the concept of two
decades ago that nothing could be
done about -heart disease. Tpday we
know that heart patients can be
rehabilitated. Because of these ad¬
vances we are confident that there
will be greater, far greater hope for
hearts tomorrow.
Yes, hope for millions of hearts
lies primarily in our research
laboratories, in the hands of the
scientists who man those labora¬
tories. I can assure you that the
research men fighting heart disease
are of high calibre. Their lives are
dominated by a determination to
conquer the unknown. Our scien¬
tists are the front-line fighters
against disease. They need your
Bupport. They depend on you, on
the home front, to give them more
weapons, more ammunition and
more courage.
You can give them your support,
so urgently needed, by contributing
to the 1952 Heart Fund. A con¬
siderable part of your gift will be
used to increase knowledge of the
heart and blood vessels and the
diseases which attack them and to
disseminate our accumulated knowl¬
edge to every physician and pa¬
tient in the land. In contributing
to the Heart Fund you will be mak¬
ing an Investment in heart research.
And you can expect that your in¬
vestment will bring you returns in
the form of increased protection for
your heart and for the hearts of

Deaths From Cancer
Cancer yvill strike 514,000 men. women and children now living in
Georgia at some time during their lifetime, Dr. Enoch Callaway
of LaGrange, President of the Georgia Division, American Can¬
cer Society has announced.
The lives of more than 250,000 of those whom cancer strikes can
be saved provided they are treated early. Early cancer usually
can be cured. Advanced cancer is usually fatal. Doctors estimate
that approximatlv 1,500 of the 3,016 men, women and children
who died of cancer in Georgia last year could have been saved
by eariy treatment.
Since pain is not usually a symptom of early cancer, it is highly
important that everyone know cancer’s 7 danger signals. They
are:
1. Any sore that does not heal. 4. Any change in a wart or
lump thickening, in mole.
2. Any or elsewhere. 5. Persistent indigestion or dif¬
the breast or ficulty in swallowing.
S. Unusual bleeding or dis¬ 6. Persistent hoarseness or
charge. coughing.
7. Any change in normal bowel habits.
If one of these symptoms occurs it MAY, OR MAY NOT BE can¬
cer. The onlv safe way is to go to a doctor for an examination.
Further information can be ol rained by writing a postal card to
“Cancer" in care of any post office. The Postmasters will forward
these to the State Headquarters through a special arrangement
by the U. S. Postmaster General.
