D. Exercise and Blood Pressure. | This is the fourth and positively the | Tast chapter in a little story I have been | trying to tell folks who have high blood | pressure or a distinct desire to avoid having it. Really such a story should | be told in one installment, but much experience has taught me that con- densation is fatal if the purpose is to get the idea over to the reader. If con- densation were practiced in the print- ing of news maybe we'd have more room here for printing health stuff. At that it would be exceedingly inter- esting to know how readers feel about this. As a reader would you prefer to see a little more space devoted to a department such as this—or maybe less? If more, would you like to see more queries answered in this column or longer daily articles? It is difficult to select just the right questions to answer here when there is room to answer only three or four a day, and there are perhaps three to four hundred queries to be answered in one way or another. In short, it would be interesting to learn Whether the paper devotes as much space to the subject of health as readers think this subject deserves. ' These four talks about high blood pressure were inspired by a scientific contribution recently published by Dr. Israel Rappaport in one of the medical journals. I shall now quote from Dr. Rappaport’s highly instructive articl “In relating my own clinical experi- ences I can be brief. For nearly two years I have been observing a number of h sive patients and have ‘been . struck with the fact that they were all poor breathers. They showed what I came to call ‘the low breathing habit.’ ‘The features of this phenomenon are a markedly reduced respiratory rate, pul- | monary expansion far below the aver- age, and diaphragmatic excursions of a very restricted type without any evidence of pulmonary disease to ac- count for it. These patients gave the impression of having established them- selves at a pulmonary capacity—prob- ably the mean of their already reduced respiratory need—so that their respira- tory functions could take place within a narrow range of respiratory excur- sions, and even at this point they need only a reduced number of respiratory cycles. I found, however, that it was possible to corect this anomaly by a concentrated effort at deep breathing exercise carried out repeatedly daily over a period of several months. Con- siderable increase of spontaneous pul- monary expansion could be obtained in some cases after several week$ of con- scientious breathing exercises. Reduc- tions of blood pressure levels—an aver- age of 30 per cent of the pathologic surplus—were thus obtained and main- tained. in_some cases_for_mearly two Despots of an_earlier day would | But Henry had a| vet hood.

But I think this suggestion of Dr. Rappaport is quite as sound as is the iG=a of exercise for the prevention and relief of distention of the veins of the legs when the veins are enlarged or varicose. It is virtually a bleeding, this maneuver recommended by Dr. Rappa- port—a bleeding of a pint or so of blood into the patient’s lesser circula- tion. The patient derives the benefit of the relief of pressure in the general circulation, vet loses none of his blood. It is exceedingly difficult to carry out any such breathing exercise; it demands a great deal of perseverance on the part of the patient to do it regularly and faithfully. Dr. Rappaport gives no detailed directions for the exercise in this scientific paper. I think one may well have three or four daily seances holding the watch on the breathing, breathing more deeply and not to exceed 20 times in the minute, and not longer than one minutes at a seance; twenty contractions and expansions of the diaphragm. 1t's a fine remedy if you don’t weaken.

Housewives locked the doors, even when they were hanging clothes in the back yard, fearing that circus hangers- on might make unannounced business calls. ‘Then, of course, there was the after- noon’s parade, with beautiful women astride dancing horses and a half dozen clowns, one of whom rode on a tiny black donkey. There were bare-back riders, wire walkers, tumblers and ani- mal trainers. Before the afternoon show a free performance was given by a high diver who, after moments of suspense, finally leaped into space from a ladder and landed in a net. The circus as an institution still re- mains, but the atmosphere of the early days is but a memory. Ak The present generation will not miss what it hasn't experienced. The travel- ing minstrel troupe, for example, is gone. One doesn’t have to be gray to recall the minstrel parade. The band, playing “A Hot Time in the Old Town,” was followed by the entire com- pany dressed in swagger long coats and silver-gray top hats.
