Rtheuimatic fever is child's great- ,est enemy. as an attack often ‘damages the heart fnm which it {never fully recovers; and further ‘attacks frequently occur which cause so many deatihs from heart_ ‘disease before the age of 40. ~ i Unfortunately , an attack of irhewmatic fever may attack a child ‘or young adult in such a quiet way ‘that it may be considered as noth- ‘ill; serious. The patient remains on ‘his feet for loo long a period, thus i luriihrr damaging the heart. y‘ Another unfortunate factor in gheiunatie fever is that the poison fin the blood. from various known and unknown sources. not only damages the heart ‘muscle but the valves of the heart also, so that a "crippled" heart. remains after an attack has passed. Among the in- fections beiieved causes of heart disease are those of tonsils. teeth. gums. sinuses and gall bladder. Any disease may leave the heart damaged - influenza. pneumonia. bronchopneuimonla. scarlet fever, diphtheria and gonorrhoea. An overactive thyroid gland can tire the heart till exhaustion occurs. i By preventing sore throats and other infections and living on a lower level of mental and physical activity’, the majority of heart pot- ients can prolong their lives for many years.
