tions to: v'"n‘ . i * ' . ’ —

"If you haven’t had a health'
and heart .examination during /
the past year, ape your doc
tor soon,",advised the Assoc-,
iations. "If your* h^jait i*s
sound, and if trc^atfafeirt is
not indicated', ' needless fear
■' tan4 anxiety can be eliminated*
5 If &■ heart, ailment is. reveal- .
ed, suitable treatment can be
begun- dmmed iat o»ly* ’’ ’' *.
2. Avoid overexert ion* *'
"Exercise in moderation,'par-1'
ticularly if ybu arc over 40'
years old," the Associations
i suggested* "Strenuous activi-'
