Very high blood pressure causes
dizziness under which conditions
the vertigo may be accomplished
with slight paralysis due to rup-

brain.
When such ruptures occur they
are generally associated with a
slight local paralysis which may
or may not disappear in e. short
time.
But in the absence Of paralysis.
even when associated with falling,

sure, dizziness does not necessarily
imply a rupture or a blood vessel.
AS a matter Of fact, a sudden
change Of position, like quickly
rising from prolonged STOPPING
posture, or as often occurs in the
sudden change Of position in an
aeroplane, or as occurs In rapid
turning as children do in play,

Indigestion causing a sudden
withdrawal of blood from the
brain to the stomach, may dis.

actual vertigo.
One of the most FREQUENT
causes of persistent dizziness is
disease Of the internal ear.
This is because, through the
internal ear, We to an important
degree acquire a sense of posi-
ton and motion-in fact, it is
through the combined influence
of our eyes and our ears that we
derive our guidance in practically
. all our voluntary movements.

Larry knew she must have been;
for Astor she would be only one
who had sought by false pre-

These were stern days. The
country and the city still were
young; majesty was coming only
slowly to attend upon the laws

whose success stability was ut
terly essential. were merciless in
their dealings with evildoers.

out to those who stole, that

others permanent.
The most familiar examples Of
dizziness are those due to the pol

paralysis of the nerve centers by
