In spite of encouraging influences it

About 16 months ago DR.. Ralph II.
Major Of Kansas City. reporting upon
the effects OF hypodermic injections
of liver extract in reducing high
blood pressure. said: Conclusions as
to the therapeutic value or such
preparation can be drawn only after a
study OF a large number OF patients
over a long period Of time. AT the
same time DR.. Major gave his expert
ence with the use of the treatment
in ~ cases, the patients ranging from
to y years, and averaging 50 years
Of age, 80 women, 10 men. and most
Of them had been under ordinary
treatment for over two years with no
marked change in blood pressure
They received one or two injections
a day, or two or three week. or
some of them only one injection
week.
Within an hour after the injection
there was O. uniform fall OF 20 to
so milimeters of mercury in the
blood pressure, In some cases fall
of so or 20 milimeters. The fall Is
gradual. and rarely accompanied by
any discomfort, though one or two
patients experienced slight dizziness:
it persists from - hours to several
days, in some cases for a whole week,
after an injection.
Well, the liver treatment has been
pretty widely tested in practice since
then, and I have the general impress
sion. from the various reports that
have been made. that 1t is just as
effcacious as a meal of fried liver
and bacon with French fried potatoes.
A good many other tissue sub
stances or extracts, when administer
ed by injection. or when fed as meat,
tend to reduce high blood pressure.
That isn't Of much importance.
Mere high blood pressure in itself
Is rarely harmful. In some instances
1t is really unwise to reduce 1t. The
important thing is to find out what
ails the patient whose blood pressure
Is above the normal or usual bounds
and then to treat the patient wisely
and without much regard for the
exact altitude of the blood pressure.
1t would be folly to use liver extract
or any other remedy to lower blood
pressure without regard for what ails
the patient.
High blood pressure is not danger
Gus thing in itself. | repeat that
for the sake of emphasis. AS often
