WILDWOOD, N. 1.-THE out
standing attraction at Wildwood
by-the-Sea is its long, gently slop-
ing beach, known among the hum
dreds of thousands Of visitors as
the worlds finest and safest.
Free from gulleys and under-cur-
rents, the beach is safe for small
children. Its smooth, warm sands
extending 1000 feet from high
water mark to the boardwalk, make
bathing soothing, health giving
luxury.
Rivaling the popularity of the
beach Is Wildwood's Smile board
walk, lined with seemingly endless
array of shops, theaters, good res.
taurants, piers and other places ol
amusement. Rest pavilions, rest
rooms and drinking fountains are
conveniently located for the throngs
that are daily drawn to the wide
spacious structure.

DHYSIOLOGISTS have found
i a few vulnerable places in
the body that are really threads,
and il they are seriously ais
turbed. life does flicker out or
get pretty much mixed UP.
One Of these is the carotid
sinus. II is a small mass OF
nerve cells lying over the
carotid artery in the neck.
1t is an insignificant set of
nerve cells and nobody paid
much attention TO IL for a long
time, but Of late IL has been
found that il sends connections
TO the heart, TO the nerves Of
blood vessels all over the body,
TO nerves that have 10 do with
the heart rate, the blood pres

blood to the brain.
A case occurred of a man who
began 10 have dizzy spells. They
came on in the morning, just as
soon as he was dressed, and
every once in a while he would
do a complete faint just as he
sat down TO the breakfast table.
He was examined carefully all
over, but none of his doctors
could find anything wrong with
him.
His heart. bis blood pressure
| were all right, his nervous re-
|. flexes normal, all the chemiS-
try of the blood was within
natural limits.
Finally he just happened 10
mention TO the doctor that he
had recently had 10 purchase
some new coll lars, and he
though they were too tight for
him.
This gave the doctor a hint,
and he found that by making
pressure on the neck of this
man in the region Of the caro-
It'd artery, he could reproduce
the dizzy and fainting spells.
BY simply getting some larger
collars that did not press on
this carotid sinus, the condition
entirely cleared up.
