HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE.
It Causes Hardening of the Arteries
and Other Grave Troubles, 2


Physicians have always studiea tire
pulse. because it gives valuable infor-
nation concerning the bodys condh
ton of health or disease. But it lis
only recently that they have begun ia
use the term blood pressure FREE
quently and 10 regard the amount os
that pressure as of great Importance.
That is because they now have instru-
ments for accurately measuring the
pressure. which previously they confd
only estimate by feeling the pulse.
Blood pressure or the degree OF ten
sion Of the blood current within the
arteries is chiefly significant because
a permanent increase in il is quit>
sure TO be followed in time by harden
ing of the arteries and by the degenef-
alton or disease of important organs,
especially the kidneys.
The blood pressure is increased by
a number of causes that Increase the
force of the heart beat or that con-
tract the smaller blood vessels. Any
excitement-anger joy. fear, nervous.
Ress"-raises 1t temporarily. But that
II IF little Importance unless the emo
ton is frequently repeated or unless
the person already has diseased arte-
ries. The blood pressure that is per-
manently high is more serious. That
comes from long continued mental ex-
element, such as worry. business anx-
iety or political strife or from the &C.
ton of certain poisons that are formed
in the system and not properly eI-
creted. wee
These poisous come from the waste
products of digestion. especially in
large meat eaters. They raise the
blood pressure by causing the smaller
arteries to contract.
In small amounts these poisons are
eXcreted at once. but in persons who
eat large quantities of meat, especially
of beef and mutton-poultry and fish
are less harmful-they are sometimes
formed in amounts so large that the
kidneys cannot dispose of them prompt
~. When this happens, especially IL 1t
occurs in a person who is under n cog
slant mental strain, like the politician,
the financier or the chronic worrier,
there is grave danger Of a permanent
~ high blood pressure and, following
that. of hardening OF the arteries and
of kidney disease, mental disturbance
or apoplexy.
IL you must worry be a vegetarian;
if you must eat meat do so only onc0
day or. better still. every other day.
