The Pace That Kills

The "New York World" tells us that in 1868, in New York City, for every ten thousand population there were 13.5 deaths from heart disease, but in 1901 the percentage had more than doubled, having risen to 29.68. These are figures from the Board of Health. It is known that these diseases are caused by high living, mental stress and strain, undue worry, over-exertion, and especially by stimulants and narcotics. It is a following of the pace that kills.
