AUSTIN, Tex., Jan. 12.—Last
week a strong and vigorous 50-
year-old Central Texas dairy-
man suddenly crumpled uncon-
scious to the floor of his dairy
barn while going about his
routine chores. The doctor's
diagnosis was quick and sure:
Stroke. That's one of the mostj
ominous words in the language!
today. What does it roally
mean? z
The medical term is "cere-
bral vascular accident", because
it is caused by a cerebral vas-
cular disease. The body's cere-
bral vascular system is the
brain's network of blood ves-
sels. Thus, cerebral vascular
disease refers to diseases of
blood vessels in the brain.
Brain cells require a good
blood supply in order to work
properly—more so than most
other body cells. When some-
thing hapens to that blood sup-
ply, the brain itself is impair-
ed.
That something could be a
hemorrhage, thrombosis, embol-
ism, compression, or a spasm.
Each one of those key words
is a major cause of strokes.
A hemorrhage (bleeding) is
the result of a break in a brain
artery which allows blood to
escape and damage surrounding
brain tissue, Apoplexy is this

type of stroke.
A thrombosis is caused by a
clot of blood forming in a brain
plies. Hut when a clot is form-
ed by a diseased heart or else-
where in the body and pumped
to the brain to plug up an ar-
tery, it is called an embolism.
A tumor, swollen brain tis-
sue, or a large clot in another
vessel may press upon a brain
vessel to stop the flow of blood.
This is called compression. A
spasm is caused when a brain
artery constricts or tightens up,
reducing the flow of blood to a
particular brain area.
With present medical know-
ledge it is not possible to pre-
vent the majority of strokes, ex
cept insofar as some conditions
causing cerebral vascular dis-
eases—high blood pressure, for
example—can often be helped
by modern treatment.
Too, several conditions asso-
ciated with blood clot forma-
tion respond to anti-clotting
drugs, and blood vessel defects
with which some children are
born can sometimes be correct-
ed by surgery, thereby eliminat-
ing the danger of strokes.

ENTER-PHOBIA. This new ailment beeet* you when
you try to get into other '50 cars. Do you back in''
Crawl in? Fall in? It's hard to tell which. But
Mercurv han the right remedy: door openings are 6
inch* •/tier. There's up to 2 inches more head

BACK-SEAT BOUNCE. The only cushion-
ing many '59 cars could squeeae in
over their high floor hump is a layer of
spring and a jute pad. But Mercury's
lowered hump made space for full
cushioning.

T
CLOK-TOh i HERNESS. Other '59 cars
make friendships too clote. But
Mercury moved the dashboard for-
ward for 9' more knee room. There's
more leg room, more elbow room__
more ueabie room all around.
DOOR-ITIS or THE KMK. Other '59
cars have jutting windshield poet*
that threaten to de-cap your knesel
But Mercury moved that windshield
poet forward 2 inches. It's easy to
atop in without hitting your knee.
STORm (-WEATHER TWITCH. Wipers in other
cars do not clear the center of the wind-
shield, so you have to peek through 2 fan-
ahaped sections. But Mercury's wiper*
have an overlapping pattern—clear a five-
foot swath_ including the center. You
drive relaxed in all kinds of weethsr.
MIDDLE-MAN CROUCH. That hump
in the floor of other '69 can is now
larger than ever. It makes the man
in the middle ait with his knees at
his chin. But Mercury cut the
hump in half! Now the
■en has room to stretch out.
