THE MIDDLE AGE DISEASES
Chronic hearth disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease) are painless, and their onset usually gradual and insidious. If they are discovered early, much can be accomplished in the way of their prevention or arrest before serious damage is done.

Good heredity and robust constitution are no guarantee of long life. The same rule of health must be followed by all, whether robust of frail, to insure health and long life. the desire not to know if anything is wrong and cowardly and stupid.
