MacLeods organization is an affiliate of the American Heart Association and its main-programs are research, education and clinical services. Diseases of the heart and circulation are the leading cause of death, not only in Delaware, but in the entire United States. A group of doctors and laymen in this state organized the Delaware Heart Association early in 1949 and much good work has been done to combat the disease. Many children and adults have benefited by the functions of the worthy organization and MacLeod has many interesting and informative things to say on the subject.
