- 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".

- 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.
