at about the age of SO by an in
crease in their blood pressure.
The typical person whose blood
pressure increases at middle age is
not the constitutional neurasthenic
and psychopathic. The nervous
system of these people is the SAT-
ETY. valve which protects them from
stress. Nor is high blood pressure
found among the victims of dys-
pepsia and sagging viscera, for
their organs react by pain or dis
comfort to any undue pressure Of
life.
The person who develops a high
blood pressure is generally rather
fat than thin and has made a
habit of eating move food than he
should have, considering his mode
of life. He has also, as a rule,
taken too much alcohol and
smoked too much tobacco as well.
The cause is probably to be found,
as Prof. e. H. Startling has pointed
out, in the fact that the normal
brain needs to have it's blood pres
sure well maintained, and it, there
fore, takes care to raise the blood
pressure Of the whole body in or
der to compensate for any threat
ened shortage. Chronic toxic con-
ditions, such as are caused by over.
eating, and by excessive drinking
and smoking, cause a degeneration
in the small blood vessels Of the
brain, or bunting of the nervous
centers. A higher blood pressure,
therefore, becomes necessary il the
brain is to receive an adequate
supply.
High blood pressure generally
runs in families, and its subjects
probably never come of stock
with a tendency to low blood pres
sure. AS children they have gen
orally been blessed with a good
appetite.
