A Resource About Stroke


------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The tragedy of stroke is known to all as it strikes suddenly, usually
without warning, causing disability and death.  Also known as "cerebrovascular
accident," it is the most common cause or neurologic disability and the third
leading cause of death in the United States.  Stroke may be the result of a
sudden rupture of a blood vessel in the brain or a clot in an artery that
blocks the circulation of vital blood flow to the sensitive brain tissue,
bringing about the death of these cells.  The more you know about stroke, the
better able you will be to do something about it, preventing it from occurring
and saving a most important life, your own.  Two informative pamphlets are
available, "Know The Warning Signs of Stroke", and "Stroke Risk Reduction".
They are available without charge upon request.  Write to:  Stroke Brochures,
Syntex Labs, 3401 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94303 for your copies.  Then
take the time to study them carefully and put their recommendations to work
for you.  It could save your life.
