HEALTH NOTES
AUSTIN, TEXAS—-Heart disease
is the number one killer in Texas.
“What kind of a heart have you?”,
asks Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health
Officer. The periodic check-up with
your physician will tell you. The
Tuberculosis X-Ray Survey in the
state conducted by the Texas State
Department of Health has brought
to light many non-tuberculous
abnormalities, some of these have
been heart conditions.
The three present major forms
of heart trouble are: rheumatic
heart disease, high blood pressure
and coronary heart disease. Rheu-
matic heart disease, the most com-
mon type of early life, occurs as the
result of one or more attacks of
rheumatic fever. It is a public
health problem for which very lit-
tle has been done, yet with early
diagnosis and proper medical care
during the acute and convalescent
stages, children who develop rheu-
matic fever can be largely spared
from rheumatic heart disease in
later life.
Another major cause of heart
trouble is high blood pressure or
hypertension. This is the most com-
mon heart disease, but we do know
that it is most common in people
who are overweight, and that it is
associated with long, continuous
nervous strain, high tension and
constant worry. Treatment of high
blood pressure is fairly successful
in the majority of cases.
Coronary heart disease is a dis-
ease of the arteries which supply
the heart muscle itself with blood.
A majority of persons survive the
first attack, and with good medical
care, rest and common sense precau-
tions, may even live a normal life
span. Syphilitic heart disease can
be prevented by early and adequate
care of the systemic disease, a
problem which has been simplified
by the use of penicillin.
Research in the medical sciences
is constantly improving the ou*
look for the cardiac patient, yet
each individual must assume the
responsibility for obtaining the
benefits of this knowledge from
his physician for himself and fam-
ily-

—GREETING:
You are hereby commanded to

trict Court of Matagorda County

fendant were married on or about
the 20th day of March, 1947, and
