how, as result of the spread of

DR.. Northrup declared that the

in general. "Of the 90 national
unions which habitually discrimi-

WARTIME HEALTH COLUMN ---
Warns High Blood Pressure
Is Symptom OF Disturbance

years have led to the concept that
a reduction In the blood supply to
the kidney causes the elaboration
OF a substance which constructs the
arterial vessels.
BIOLOGICAL EXPLANATION
The mechanism Of the circulation
can be visualized BY considering the
heart as a pump and the blood yes
sells as a gradually narrowing series
Of pipes. The blood Is forced
through these pipes by the heart,
and nutriment is carried TO the It's
sues by this means. The demands
of the cells for nutriment Is fairly
constant. CONSTRUCTION Of the small
arteries hinders the circulation of
the blood from reaching the tissue.
To compensate for the narrowed
blood vessels, the force behind the
blood must be increased. 1t Is this
increased force that Is measured by
q blood pressure apparatus and Is
called apprehension. A burden Is
carried by the heart when 1t must
maintain this increased pressure,
and like any heavily worked muscle,
1t enlarges. The arteries are also
called upon to contain this increas-
er force. and must become thicker In
order to do so. In other words, the
attempt to compensate for the initial
change. |. e. the narrowing of the
small arteries, leads to changes
which subsequently cause other
troubles with the heart and arteries
generally. The increased blood pres
sure alone Is not so bad, but the
changes that ultimately come from
1t are serious. .
CONTRIBUTIVE CAUSES
These concepts Of the cause Of
apprehension must be fused with
an inherited constitutional predis-
position for which there Is abund-
ant evidence In the majority Of
cases. There Is also considerable
reason to believe that emotional
stress, diet, and other factors
peculiar to the so-called civilized
environment play some kind Of role
in the causation Of the disease.
The outlook for given case OF
apprehension Is impossible to give
