At 08:20 AM 12/17/99 , Judith Richards included in a press release from
Cleveland Clinic this sentence:

>Parkinson's disease affects 1 in every 250 people over the age of 40 (1
>in 100 over 65) and is the fourth most common disease of older people.

The fourth most common disease of older people?  I had not been aware of
that.  If that statement can be supported, it is one more tool we have to
press for more funding of work on the cure.
