Health Talks Blood And Its Prewuc How many times have you heard the remark "Oh, my blood pressure?" If you've studied the body and its problems, you know that the expression in itself means nothing. Medically, there are two pressures of the blood that need consideration -- high and low blood pressure. High blood pressure, known to doctors of medicine as hypertension, is among the most widespread of all conditions which cause disability among people in the United States, according to Health Talk ifesued by the educational committee of the Illinois State Medical society. d u r i n g e v e r y t w e n t y - f o u r hours, Ihe human heart pumps 8,000 gallons of blood through 12,000 miles of blood vessels and every pound of fat adds more blood vessels for the heart to pump through. The blood pressure resulting, measured as to its highest point and as to its lowest point, is found to depend on age, sex, body weight and constitution. * The constitution includes the condition of the blood vessels. It is normal for one's blood pressure to vary from day to day, even from hour to hour. It is affected by all sorts of environmental factors such as dbld or heat, by emotional states, such as anger or anxiety and by exertion. However, when the blood pressure remains at an abnormally high level, even during rest, special attention must be directed to it. One of the serious complications is rupture of the blood vessels ill the brain or •ther organs, often due to the high pressure combined with loss ol elasticity in blood vessel walls, known as arteriosclerosis Or hardening of the arteries. Since rising blood pressure is a part of the physiologic process of growing old, it is a condition that must be expected and understood by the individual, and treated wisely if necessary by a competent physician. Of court mental attitudes play an import ant part in thf care of high blood pressure. There are two courses, particularly, that should not be followed--one to ignore the condition ' completely and continue to live at breakneck speed until the heart collapses under pressure, the other is to be forever worrying and fretting about a condition that is a part of growing old. Persons with high blood pressure should avoid excitement and anger as well as exercises calling for heavy lifting or running or any type of activity that produces shortness of breath. Since high blood pressure is not a_ disease but a , condition that results f*om the processes of change. in the body, the wise person will place himself under the care of a physician. With his mental and physical attitudes carefuUy controlled, there is no reason why most persons with high blood pressure cannot. five a long and interesting life.

Yoer IacosM Tat By Ernest J. Sauber Director of Internal Revenue Changes affecting the 1952 tax were enacted by the 1951 Revenue Act, passed by Congress in October of 1960, and. involved business as well as the individual taxpayer. % In this article, attention is focused on the individual taxpayer and provisions applicable to filing of the 1952 return.
