NTHAT is blood pressure and how
w does the doctor measure II?

w does the doctor measure IL
Blood pressure Is the force with which
the column of blood in the blood vessel
presses against the vessel wall. 1t Is
Just like water pressure In lawn nose.
The higher the pressure the greater
strain on the hose and the sooner the
hose will give out.
In health the degree of blood pressure
varies with age. For all ages 1t aver
ages 127 millimeters-which means that
the pressure of the blood in the artery of
the arm Is enough to raise column of
mercury l27 millimeters above the level
From IL years upward q blood pressure
under 100 degrees is rather too low for
health; and from middle life onward life
insurance companies look with disfavor
upon a pressure above no degrees. How
ever, we often find the blood pressure 100
or more in persons past middle age, yet
they seem to be absolutely well.
There are a dozen types of apparatus
for measuring the blood pressure. The
thing is done in this way: y cuff IS
wrapped lightly about the upper arm;
this cum consists of an intiatable section
of rubber tube, like the inner tube of an
auto tire, covered with a stout layer of
cloth, the whole pinned or tied about the
arm. length of rubber tubing leads
from this cuff to an air-pump and also
to the standard which holds the mer-
curry column in a glass tube. Instead OF
the mercury column a dial manometer
may be used.
The physician now pumps the cuff full
of air, thus gradually squeezing the arm.
while he keeps his fingers or stethoscope
on the pulse at the wrist; at the point
whore the pulse no longer reaches the
wrist he reads what the manometer says
and that is your blood pressure. AS
