Brains Luck of Blood
Still, fainting scldoln indicates
any very serious disease. In every
case it is due, Lclic,.,, to "A with
drawal Of circulation from the
BRAIN. The blood vessels of the
brain are constantly changing
their caliber and under nervous
stress they may 90 into spasm so
that no blood is able to circulate
through them and reach the brain
structure. Thus any emotion in Il
susceptible subject can produce a
brain without blood. 1t takes 4
somewhat severe emotion to pro-
duce it in a modern. unlike Sir
Walters young ladies.
'S'Fear is an emotion strong

any unusual exertion, or fatigue

During the time when | WAS n

experiences which have confirmed
my belief that fainting is due to
withdrawal of blood from the

eyes were on the watch. so could

about half minute when the
pulse suddenly stopped. 1t had
been a large, rapid, bounding
pulse. The transition was so sud

rolled from under my finger. But
just then I felt tug from the
young mans arm and l looked up
just in time to see that he was
deathly pale, and had to put him
down on the floor where he quick
ly revived.

What | did notice. however, was
that the systolic blood pressure

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Is. o.-ls spastic paralysis
hereditary? Does it result from
any sort q: injection the doctor
gives woman during childbirth
pains? If not, what causes spastic
paralysis,
Answer: Srastic paralysis is
not due TO anything that the doctor
does to the mother. II is probably
due to hcmorrhagc in the brain,
which occurs during childbirth,
but has never been known to be
the doctors fault.
A. B.:-A certain boy and l
have been contemplating marriage
but have hestitated due to the
fact that in tracing our ancestry
We find that his father and my
grandfather were -ousirs. Do YOU
think that this factor will lave
too much bearing on our offspring?
Answer: No. you have men
