A-Indeed I do. She had a

ried and living in Seattle. Wash.
Miss Dennis did some remark
able forecasting of future events

Q-Why do you persist in
claiming a springer spaniel is
better dog than a cocker
spaniel?
Al don't remember persist
ing that claim although l may

springer has everything a cocker
has and more. That is,
springer makes as good a pet
and companion as a cocker but
is a better hunting dog.

as many times as he did when
/ had the measles.
THERE was Doctor Thomp-
l. son. It was hard 10 figure
out whether he studied at Johns
Hopkins or learned his medicine
under Dale carnegie. He
beamed and smiled. chortled
and laughed. and acted as if
your particular ailment was
just about the funniest ailment
he had ever encountered in his
life.
He always entered the room
with a happy step. swinging his
little black bag as If II were a
tennis racket, and he were off
for a fast set OF singles at the
country club.
He told innumerable jokes, all
Of which you had heard before.
and always took a seat on the
edge of the bed, so he could be
real chubby.
There was Doctor Coburn. He
was an "m-m-m-mm-er' and a
foot-tapper. He would listen TO
your heart and 90 "m-m-m-m"
as If he had never heard such a
sound before.
He would take your pulse and
then tap his foot and then gaze
az you as if he were undecided
whether 10 hurry back 10 his Of
flee and write your case up for
the medical journal or try TO do
something for you.
Doctor Coburn was very
gloomy. He somehow gave YOU
the impression when he said he
would drop in tomorrow that he
never would-that il would be
too late for him 10 do anything
for you.
THE doctor l had today was
Il young and CHEEKY.
I don't know when l have ever
disliked a man so much. It's
probably part of modern medi-
cine, but he wanted 10 know
everything about me from the
time I could remember.
He seemed to regard my cold
as the result of something had
done in early childhood.
Before he got through I didn't
know whether he was a doctor
or man who was thinking Of
doing a biography of me.
got only one satisfaction out
OF his whole visit-that is, that
he never got one word Of truth
out Of me. He left believing
that l was born of millionaire
parents in a villa in Cape Anti
hes, and that l felt no symptoms
of cold whatsoever.

Better Health
BY DIR. LOGAN CLENDENING

A THOUGH I am frequently
"A asked TO say something
about low blood pressure, 1 have
been compelled to refrain be-
cause there has been nothing to
say.
Lately, however. simple
treatment for certain forms of
low blood pressure has been
proved successful, so 1 will de-
scribe it today.
Blood pressure is measured by
encircling the arm with rub
Der bag attached to a mercury
pressure column.
When the arm band is inflated
until the pressure just obliter-
ates the pulse, the height of the
mercury column measures the
blood pressure.
TAKING the pressures of
l. many thousands of people.
this has been found on the aver
age to be 100 millimeters of
mercury. recorded as 120.
This is the systolic pressure.
or the pressure in the arteries
when the heart is contracting.
The diastolic preSsure-when
the heart is relaxing-can also
be measured. and is on the aver
age so; a diastolic pressure of
90 is high, and Of 100, very high.
The upper limit OF normal
systolic pressure is considered
TO be $50.
These averages are, however,
quite arbitrary.
One out of every three per-
sons over the age of As has a
blood pressure of 80 or over.
1t is almost normal rather
than a disease in that age
period. OF the other Sc persons
per 100 in that age period,
about 25 have preSsures from
120 to 40, about 80 have pres
sures from 10 to 100 and the
rest are below ITO. ,N
