BJLOOD PRE88URE _ Generally speaking, blood pressure In a person of good health should be 100 plus his years. For example, blood presure In a person of 60 should he 160. With advancing years comes hardening of the arteries, and this sends the pressure up. Disease, accompanied with high fever in a person of any age, sends blood pressure down. Pressure should be taken when the person, mentally and physically*. la wholly in a normal condition. Nervous excitement and physical exertion should be absent. Temperature of the feody should be normal. Taken under other conditions, pressure may be misleading. A case history is valuable in learning whether pressure Is high or low. This lacking, pressure may be taken at Intervals of a month or so apart, and averaged. Weight should be noted each time., < If the case history records no disease, the effects of which should affect it, and pressure averages low, the fact need not cause concern. High pressure rather than low requires attention, frequently immediate attention. ?Years ago the nation* was "hind/' but that provided only temporary relief. Today scientific treatment to remove or lessen the cause of pressure is employed. This result in partial or complete cure, depending on age and cause. Rut the point in the whole matter Is that worry tn either ease will not hel pmatters at all. Age certainly cannot be controlled. Physical condition can be brought to par, and thla the patient's chief baatnees while he la under treatment.
