WITH the eneraid. formal and inclinations under blur sthtulus for action. plus an inner urge for excitement and indulgence, it couldbeeasy to"kiek over the traca"-to act beyond bounds of restraint and discretion. The conventional annual festivity and hilarity could be pitched to regret- table extremes, with aorry react- ions on funds, physical safety. per- haps reputation. All this could pre- cipitate disputes and quarrels with intimates and comrades.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it is are urged to put in some time for elaborating plans and objectives for a particularly lively, construc- tive and enduring program for a progressive and fruitful year. While energies. forces and initia- tive are highly stimulated. the in- ner leads. "hunches" and drives are trustworthy also. Intuitlons are de- pcndable for practical matters. but be discreet in social, romantic or other contacts where feelings may be easily hurt. "Temperament" should be regulated.

A child born on this day. while well endowed with practical and constructiv talents and powers, may be carried into unhappy sit- uations by bursts of "tempera- ment." strange impulses or emo- ticns.

and reducing high blood It It is true that there are -' which will reduce high blood pres- sure temporarily but there is no drug that will reduce high blood pressure permanently.

By reducing the amount of sod- ium (table salt and others) in the diet. less water will be held in the blood vessels and less pressure needed to press blood along through the blood vessels. By reducing the amount of fat eaten, there will not be as much cholesterol in the blood. which substance is believed to be the cause or obstruction in the blood vessels making it necessary for blood to be under higher pres- sure to push its way through the blood vessels.

Another method of keeping blood pressure lowered is by the use of quieting drugs which keep the patient calm amid emotional dis- turbances,

when cutting down on salt and fluids and using 'quieting drugs falls to lower dangerously high blood pressure. surgery is now a last resort.

D12 Reginald I-I. Smithwick. Pro- fessor of Surgery. Boston Univer- sity School of Medicine, Surgeon- ln-Cbief Massachusetts Memorial Hospital in Secomtsymposium. The Clinical Problems of Advanc- ing Years. states that the primary objective or the surgical treatment of hypertensive cardiovascular dis- ease (heart and blood vessels) was to determine whether the prog- nosis or outlook for these patients could be significantly improved.

"High blood pressure is respon- sible for prematureydisabllity and for a great many deaths each year among young and middle-aged in- dividuals. There ls'no more im- portant problem-, including cancer, before the medical profession to- day."

During the past" twelve years. 3,000 patients have been studied from the standpoint of surgical treatment of high blood pressure. About 2,000 have. been operated upon and 1.000 ueated medically. Ninety per cent. of the patients were under 50 ye s of age and so per cent betweemzo and 49.
