North had the club A or not.
What interested him most was

not have attempted had East kept

EVEN WITH

ACE SHOWING conventions
like the BlackWood arc fine on
most hands, but even if your pair
is employing such a convention,
there are times when you should
use some other way to invite a
slam, That is especially true if
YOU have a blank suit, SC that pos
session Of its ace by your partner
would be Of little value to you. At
these times. if you have already
learned that your partner has an
emphatic fit for your major suit,
it may be better to invite slam
by eue-bidding some sult.in which
you have the ace, or by bidding
five Of your major, unless you feel
strong enough to bid slam your

the largest experience with high
blood pressure patients. have
Just looked over a group Of pa
tientS treated by one form Of sur
gerry or another for high blood
pressure: not one Of them was
benefited; most Of them were
worse.
In the first place. what is high
blood pressure? DR.. Irvine Il.
Page. Of Indianapolis. has pub
lished a classification showing
there are 81 kinds of high blood
pressure.
High blood pressure is a raise in
pressure by the heart because 1t
Is working against increased ten
sion in the blood yesselS--the ar
teries. Some Of DR.. Pages forms
Of high blood pressure are due to
spaSm Of the arteries and here the
surgeon might do some good by
removing the cause Of the spasms.
But most Of them are due TO hAr-
dening OF the arteries, loss OF
elasticity, and this is a condition
all over the body.
The surgeons 90 on the theory
that this hardening and loss Of
elasticity is due first TO spasm
brought on by some gland or
nerves. But the men who know
most about it think the organic
change comes first.
One surgeon believes the thyroid
gland causes the spasm. There is
really little, if any. reason to be-
lieve there is any truth in this.
Others believe the sympathetic
nerves get disordered and cause
the spasm, so they recommend
taking out the nerves. ! heard
surgeon read paper on this. In
the back of the hall the internal
medical man who worked in the
same hospital with him said, He
never heard Of high blood pres
sure till two years ago. And two
years from now. when he's tried
all this out, he won't remember
what it is
Another theory is that the ad-
renal gland gives out extra secre-
tion and causes the spasm. We
know the adrenal gland secretes
Observation-Disclosures does
raise blood pressure. But is this
the mechanism Of the condition!
The adrenal glands are not en-
larged in high blood pressure;
they are actually smaller than
normal.

Still another theory is that the
kidney causes high blood pres
sure. II was shown in experimental
work on animals that If a clamp is
put on the artery going to the kid
ney, 1t causes blanched (ischemic)
areas without blood and results in
high blood pressure. So ischemic
kidneys must come out. But what

some experienced doctors say.
I'VE studied one hundred and fifty

blood pressure in this group"
And as final consideration.
Under medical management the
treatment Of high blood pressure
gives quite good results-better
than surgery In the benign group,
patients live twenty to forty years.
In the malignant group, the sur.
geons do more harm than good.
