THE BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY OF CANADA y coh \%} dara gry > Several drugs developed'in the past few years give the 16,000,000 high blood pressure (hyperten- sion) victims in the United States a better chance of living with a condition which, if allowed to go unchecked, can lead to severe heart, brain and kidney damage and even to death. Two of the new drugs have proven particularly valuable in the control 'of this disease. One is a refinement known as reserpine from a crude root used for centu- ries in India for a score of ailments. The second drug is hexamethon- jum chloride, a compound discov- ered in Europe which was admin. istered only by injection until an American , pharmaceutical firm succeeded in producing it in tablet form. Reserpine is believed to lower blood pressure by its calming effect upon the central nervous system. It slowly lowers mildly elevated blood pressure. The drug has few side effects and it has been useful in mild cases or as the initial treat. ment in severe cases--largely be. cause of its tranquilizing effect upon the patient, Hexamethonium chloride, the single most potent drug available now, operates on the "roadblock" concept by preventing the trans- mission of presgwe-raising im- New Drugs For High Blood Pressure pulses across key nerve centers. It lowers blood pressure quickly in most cases and often relieves many of the disturbing symptoms associated with advanced high blood 'pressure. ; Most promising results for the patient are now being reported by physicians using the two drugs together. It appears that the calm- ing effects of reserpine make it possible to obtain the marked re- ductions in blood pressure brought about by hexamethonium with low doses of the latter drug. Physi- cians report that this new minimizes side reactions and per- mits greater comfort for the pa tient. Although the primary eause of high blood pressure is inknown in 90 per cent of cases, when the di- sease is diagnosed early, the pe- tient can often be hel A gen. eral slowing down of activity and. perhaps by diet. In sovere cases,' surgery, in which certain nerves are cut, has helped some patients. Drug treatment, however, is the most widely accepted method once the physician considers the condi. tion a serious medical problem. Not only is this method effective, - but it is less disruptive to orally 3 tient than dieting and considera less drastic than surgery, whic can't be undone even whem i dosn't work, given: A reading "The Bridge Build- er", by Miss Florence Doble; the topic "Bridal Garments" was taken by Mrs. Armstrong; reading "A Child's Plea", by Mrs. Russell Taylor; a reading "The Lost Document", by Mrs. Wm.
