How to
STOP KILLING

Forget About Your Blood Pressure!''
8, DR.. PETER j sTEINcRoHN

Iguish so many people expert
ence when they are having
their blood pressure readings
made.
If your doctor has diagnosed
high blood pressure. never
press him to tell you Just ''how
high" 1t lis. # he says 1t is be-
having. take his word for It.
Don't insist on specific figures

Let Doctor Decide
Please. Mr.. j. b., do not think
that I am trying to minimize
the Importance of high blood
pressure All am trying to do
is to take your eyes of the
column Of mercury when it
rises and falls in the blood
pressure machine. Leave the
mechanics of 1t all to your doc
tor. It is for him to eyaluate
the reading and decide on
proper medication and advice.
That brings up your ques-
ton regarding the value Of
lemon juice. rice and garlic In
the treatment Of high blood
pressure. ! hope you will not
think me presumptuous, I'M
feeling and unfair If I give you
the answer in one word.

became intimate. He told me he
was very unhappy with his wife
and he finally left her and we
went to live together.
At last his wife agreed to q
divorce and things should be-
come final very soon. But now
Jerry and I don't know whether
we want to get married. We
have not gotten along well and
I am beginning to see that

everyone says I'd be a fool II
I didn't marry him for the sake
of my own reputation.
Gerald d. left my wife and
baby for Helen's sake and now
she talks about walking out and
leaving me high and dry. She
tells me to 60 back to my wife
But my wife has found some-
one else and doesn't want me
any more.
It's true that Helen and ]
have fought like cats and dogs,
but I think that's because we've
been so nervous not knowing
whether or not the divorce was
going through and what our
status was going to be. Once
we are really man and wife
things will straighten out.
The way things are now,
everyone knows what happened
and blames me for the way ]
treated my wife. If Helen and
I don't get married I'll be

In reality, 1t is doubtful
whether anyone outside OF
Helen's family cares whether or
not she marries Gerald. Those
who bother to condemn her
conduct will not respect her the
minute she flashes a marriage
license.
1t is most unlikely that the
breakup Of the relationship
would make a laughing stock

That leaves this childish
self seeking pair without much
reason for getting married. BY
their own admission they
merely wish to use each other
for temporary expedience.
The question Of whether OF
not they can ever find a worth
while relationship and a decent
life still rests with them. This
depends on whether or not
they are ready to make drastic
changes in their outlook, their
view of marriage, their view
of each other. They would have
to learn to think in terms OF
contributing to another's hap
piness and of building a last
ing, meaningful relationship.
They badly need guidance
toward that end from a clergy
man or trained social worker.
