to relax all his groups Of skeletoi
muscles, one after the other. Firs+
the frown on his forehead is ro
laxed, then the face, then the nocl
muscles. Then the arms and cbegt
and back, and then the legs. The
blood pressure is taken automatical
ly every few minutes.
With normal subjects there is ~
initial drop in pressure whicS
reaches it's height in about 80 min
utes; it consists in a fall OF 10 IN
Is points.
1t frequently takes some trajniro
and patience to teach a patient t@
relax. And some, in fact, of ne,yo,,s
temperament never learn to Co r.
completely. In those who can lear,
and have high blood pressure ro,.
mally, the results are almost uni.
versally good. The reduction ~

citement and exertion.
The reported cases would confirm
the belief that everyone has lonp
had, that rest is the only thing cal.
culated to treat high blood pressure
sensibly. While the word cure
cannot be scientifically used in con.
nection with increased blood pres
sure, proper relaxation certainly
lengthens life and makes for COM
fort.
It should be augmented by the
use of a mild diet, rich in vitamins,
especially fresh fruit vitamins. The
diet should also include buttermilk
several glasses day.

row their size, the blood pressure
will have to go up. 1t would be the
same principle with water faucet.
Assuming that the water pressure
at the source is the same, if you put
a smaller tube on the faucet, the
water will come out of that tube
with more force.
Exercise One Cause
One of the things that cause the
blood vessels to contract and thus
raise blood pressure is exercise, or
the contraction of'muscles. A brief
bit of fairly strenuous exercise will
raise blood pressure. Any doctor
knows that a patients pressure is
higher when he first walks into the
office than it will be a little later.
When a patient is put in hospital,
the pressure is higher the first few
days than on subsequent days,
especially if the patient stays in
bed. That the blood pressure is
lowered in sleep is common OBJ
servation.
In fact, about the only sure-fre
way to lower blood pressure is to
put the patient at rest. Therefore,
the relaxation treatment would
seem to be sensible.
To relax, it is not necessary to
lie down. Relaxation in the sitting
neaition for half an hour was seen
to reduce the blood pressure "a
points in one person under observa-
tion.

patient lie down in quiet room free

FOR SOME years Or. Edmund
Jacobson, of Chicago, has been ad-
vocating the value of relaxation.
His little book, You Must Rela1, has
helped a great many nervous people.
Now he advocates it for high blood
pressure.
Whatever else may be said for or
against the treatment, certainly the
gospel of relaxation is one which
seems to fit into the needs OF our
present world.
So far as relaxation is applied to
high blood pressure, we can start
with the certainty that blood pres
sure varies directly with the size
and spasm of certain of the blood
vessels. Thus, if all the large ar
teries in the abdomen suddenly mar

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

C. E. G.: "Will you please tell me
if there is medicinal value in alfalfa
tea? If so, why does not the medical
fraternity recognize it?"
Answer-There was no known
medicinal value to alfalfa tea until
a very short time ago when it was
discovered that alfalfa was a good
source of vitamin K, which aids in
blood coagulation.
