During the past few weeks
I have received q number Of
inquiries from readers about
one Of the newer drugs used
in the treatment of high
blood pressure and heart
disease. It is called Hydro
ehlorothiazide.
PATIENTS who have had
high blood pressure for years
probably recall that at first

to taking the drugs In the
barbital family. During the
past few years great advances
have been made in drug ther-
apy. We can do more than
tell patients TO ''learn TO live
with their high blood pres

We have drugs that can
help In lowering the pressure
In at least 50 per cent Of pa
tients. Undoubtedly we thus
help prolong lives.
Patients who have been
helped by such newer RENE
dies as reserpine, Apresoline
and now the chiorothiazide
drugs-will attest to their
effectiveness.
True they sometimes COM

the overall improvement Is

drug companies keep coming

these drugs which lessen the

complications.
The other day. ! met a man
who had been unaccountably

GomingR Raids
Arrest SO
In 7 Cities
By the Associated Press

Synchronized gambling raids
by Treasury agents in seven
cities have Melted SO arrests.
The Internal Revenue Serv-
ice said large amounts of cash,
gambling equipment and rec
ords were conf1scated yesterday
in what it called a co-ordinated
breakdown on a Nationwide
gambling combination.
Arrests reported were New
York City, 6; Los Angeles, 16;
San Francisco, 6; Middletown
Ohio. 4: Lexington. KY, Q;
Niagara Falls, N. Y, /, and
Toledo, Ohio, /.
IRIS officials said the raids
were aimed at a combination
of independent gamblers who
laid off, bets with one an
other. Bookmakers often use
this system. When one accepts
more bets than he can safely
handle financially, he lays off,
part of the risk with another
gambler.
The IRIS said the arrested

requires gamblers to pay $50
