tion of health or disease. Hut it is
only recently that they have lirsmi to
use the term "blood i l ess lire" fie
intently and to regard the amount of
that pressure as of reat iuiportaii' e.
That is because they now have instru
ments for accurately tncasiirini; the
pressure, which previously they could
billy estimate hy feelini; the pulse.
Itlood pressure or the decree of ten
sion of the hlood current within the
arteries is cliieliy siniti. ant because
n permanent increase in it is quite
sure to be followed in time by harileu
in;; of the arteries and by the defener
ation or disease of important organs,
especially the kidneys.
The hlood pressure is Increased by
n number of causes that increase the
force of the heart boat or that con
tract the smaller Mood vessels. Any
excitement auger. Joy. fear, "nervous
ness" raises It temporarily. lint that
is of little Importance unless the emo
tion Is frequently repeated or unless
the person already hus diseased arte

manently IiIkIi is more serious. That
comes from long continued mental ex
citement, such ns worry, basinet anx
iety or political strife or from the ac
tion of certain immsoiis that are formed
in the system and not properly ex-1
croted.
These poisons come from the waste I

in small amounts these poisons are
excreted at nn.o, but in persons who
("it larce quantities of meat, especially
of beef and mutton poultry ami tisli
are less harmful- (hoy are sometimes
formed in amounts so lar.;o that the
kidneys cannot dispose of t luun prompt
ly. When this happens, especially if it
occurs in a person who is under a con
stant menial strain. like the politician,
the financier or the enronic worrier,
there is r.-ive ilamrer of a permanent
ly liiiiii biood pressure and, followiiiL'
lli.it. of hanleuiiur of the arteries and
of kidney disease, mental disturbance
or apoplexy.
If you must worry be a vegetarian;
if you must eat meat do so only once
