Your Health How To Keep It. Causes of Illness
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and Of Hy-
 gcia, the Health Magazine

kCJd, ute flCIltn 1l0&dZInC During 1924 one in five of the persons who died in the United States died as a result of one of the complications of high blood pres sure, either heart failure, brain hemorrhage or uremia.
 Of persons dying after 45 years of age, approximately one in three dies ! of one of the terminal complications of high blood pressure. Methods of recording the blood pressure accu- rately have been used only during the last twenty-five years. During that time many attempts have been made to determine the cause of high blood pressure. but without success.
 Cause or Result: There has been much discussion as to whether chronic inflammations of the kidneys caused the high blood pressure or resulted from it. Even today there are many adherents on both sides of this question. However, there is q vast amount of evidence to indicate that high blood pressure is not always associ- ated with chronic inflammations of the kidneys. and the great number of cases in which the blood pressure is high without any apparent in- 1 flammation of the kidneys is suffi- cient to cancel the kidney disease as the universal cause.
 It is known that persons who are l considerably overweight after mid- dle age also tend to have high blood pressure. At least 8 reduction of weight in such persons is frequently accompanied by drop in the blood pressure. Many other conditions are l likely to be associated with the in- creased blood pressure. Current views tend to the belief that the ex- citing cause is some substance cir culating in the blood and associated with changes in the tissue struc- | lures.
 High blood pressure is one of the things which seems to occur in fam- lilies, so that either the structure of 1 the body, the nature of the chem ical reaction, or some other heredi- tary factor may be said to play some part.
 The most common method of treating the condition is by dimin- ishing body activities. including ex- ercise and mental activities. and lowering the diet so that less stress will be placed upon the tissues,
 High blood pressure is one of the conditions which comes on insidious- ly, but is found frequently for the first time during the course of a life insurance examination or by a periodic physical examination.
 Correcting Defccts
 The physician who discovers the presence of an increased blood pres sure is likely to make a complete physical examination of the patient to determine any other defect which may exist in the body, and his first step will be 10 correct such defects.
 Attention is paid particularly to infections of the teeth. of the ton- siLs. and of various organs in the body which may be the source of chronic irritation or for the dissem- ination of infection to other portions Of the body.
 Today the aphorism in the treat mcnt of high blood pressure is reg ular hours of work. regular hours of play properly supervised, regular hours of rest and plenty of rest, and a low diet.
