It was as though a disease had struck the town like an epidemic.

Then I saw that the disease had also struck the right leg.

The disease strikes about 250,000 Americans a year, 60 percent of them women.

That disease struck this whole family, not just your mother.

The fatal disease has struck more than 100,000 people around the world.

The truth is that this disease can strike anywhere and at any time.

That disease strikes five percent of the human population worldwide.

To know that, if the disease does strike their children, they can do very little but wait, hope and pray.

For one thing, the disease most often strikes people over 40.

Already the disease has struck 85,000 Americans, and more than half have died.
