HEART DISEASES TO BE STUDIED It is interesting to learn that the life insurance companies of the United States and Canada have created a medical research fund which will spend $3,500,000 in the next six years. The first problem of medicine that will be attacked concerns heart and arterial diseases which cause some 400,000 deaths annually, an-nually, or about forty per cent of the total in this country. Thus far, the amount expended for research in this field is far less than for cancer, tuberculosis and other major diseases.
