CHICAGO Aprir l6.--"Amerl-canitis"
is causing 240,000 pre
ventable deaths yearly In this
country. Dr. William S. Sadler,
nationally - known physician, ! as
serted today in" condemning ''the
high tension and terrific drive of
our dally life." ! i i -f "
The statement was made in a
report of the Gorgas Memorial in

hitherto only suspected fact." that
more Americans than any other
white people are dying from heart
disease, Brlgnts disease, apoplexy,
and high blood pressure 'between
the ages of 40 and 50. j f'
; "Americanftis" is the name Dr.
Sadler applied to the whole group
of conditions which he believes re
sponsible for needless loss of life.
'"The huTry, bustle and incessant-drive
of the American tem
perament is responsible for this
peculiar and characteristic Ameri
can mortality increase during the
"'dangerous age' period between 4 0
and 50 years," reported Dr. Sad
ler. "This distinctly American
phenomonen can be remedied only
by teaching the public that heart
disease,- Brights' d isease,i apoplexy
and high blood ' pressure can be
checked, and at least 0 per cent
of the 400,0000 such .deaths pre

The first is a yearly health audit.
A second Is a changa in living
