The thief works silently, being care- ful not to arouse any suspicion of his presence. Silently, often without warning, comes disease. Later, usual- ly in a catastrophic fashion, loss of health is evidenced and the presence of disease recognized. Disease, as it is known to the pub- lic, is often the end result of preced- ing conditions. The damaged heart may come from rheumatic fever that occurred years before. Kidney diseas- es may represent the results of failure to live a reasoriably hygienic life. General paralysis of the insane has its beginnings in a syphilitic infec- tion. Outstanding among our silent foes is that group of diseases to which we refer as the degenerative diseases in- cluding diseases of the heart and the kidneys, and hardening of the arter- ies. Unfortunately, many cases of this group are not seen until the disease is well advanced, and, by that time, the degeneration, or wearing -out of the parts, has progressed to a con- siderable extent. To fight silent sickness, discover it early, It is difficult for most people to grasp the idea that there may be something wrong with their bodies, when they -feel no loss of health or show no signs of disease. Neverthe- less it is true, as many have learned when an insurance examination has !revealed unsuspected disease or some abnormal condition. The human body has great reserves, and, by calling on these reserves, the body is able to meet the demands that are placed up- on it without showing that the re- serves are being exhausted. The only practical way to meet this problem is through the periodic health examination by the family physician. A regular examination which is thor- ough and complete will reveal abnor- malities and disease in their earliest stages, before they are suspected, at a time when proper treatment will likely eradicate or check them. The periodic health examination acts as a burglar alarm, warning of the pres- ence of the thief of health. It acts as a searchlight, revealing the presence of silent, and consequently unsuspect- ed sickness. The older we grow, the more im- portant : becomes to us the periodic health examination, because silent sickness increases with the years. The younger we are, still is most import- ant the periodic health examination, because of the better chance of early detection of disease. This means that the periodic health examination is int- portant at all ages. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College St., Toronto, will be answered personally by Ietter.
