EVERYBODY HAS BLOOD
 PRESSURE

one groumpy old boy summoned mo Go his office and told me I'd have to change my teachings about catching cold. He didn't know aay- thing about the scientific medical points of the question but he knew from many years of experience that if he walked the few blocks from his office to his club for lunch without his overshoes on, when the pavement was even little damp, he was practically certain to :.
 The only reason for these talks about blood pressure is that now I'm having trouble with another great man in another large city. He has a mad on about my constant harplng on the importance of save ing the teeth, supplementing the everyday deficient diet with the csc sential vitamlns and being on guard against mouth spray aS the usual mode of infection with "colds." The great man even asserts that n1otl1s CTS of small children are come plaining about the demorali2ing inc fiuence of my teachings - for in- stance, when I assure youngsters 10 makes no difference whether you get your feet wet or not, 80 far aS health is concerned. Being presum. ably 0 person of common ordinary intelligence I ought to know better than that. Etc, etc.
 So the question is, shall I bee come Q mere memory or shall pipe down, pull in my horns, and make all my teachings conform to the conventions or standards ofs say, l8902
 Take this blood pressure thing. shall never tell anybody what his blood pressure should be or what causes 1t to be too high or too low or what he should do, take or eao or not eat If some busybody has convinced him he is suffering from high or low blood pressure,
 I could as well determine from the handwriting and c lock of hair whether Q correspondents or read. CTS pulse or heart beat Is too rapid or too slow and tell what will eor- rect 1t.
 I've said scores of times here that if you are wise you'll leave blood pressure to your doctor. Tn any case your own doctor Is the only one who can advise you intelli- gently about it.
