controlling preventing and treating heart disease suooesstuliy is the urgent concern not only of use medical pro session but of all Canadians Each heart disease kills about 05000 Canadians approximately hall of the total deaths irons all causes in Canada lt is significant to note that during the period 19301858 the population of Canada increased 577 while the an nual deeth toil increased only 207 During the same period the deaths due in audiovascular disease increased easy This however is only partof larger and more tragic picture By the end of 1956 1250000 Canadians were suffering from some form or heart disease of this number 300000 were seriously dis abled llbus heart disease as well as being Canadas Number one killer is also the most common cause of physical

that the statis tics would be considerably worse Heart researoh has already done much to brighten the prospects for present and future sufferers from heart disease but it is obvious and imperative that much more heart rmearoh must be supported and encouraged The dram atic results or research to date give con crete evidence that still greater efforts are fully Justified Opinions alone NeWspapers
