treating High Blood Pressure |

By HERMAN N. BUgDESEN, M.D. MANY people suffering from high blood pressure are being helped by recent advances in treatment These include both surgery and new drugs. The younger person with severe high blood pressure sometimes benefits from an operation known as sympathectomy, in which certain nerves are cut. This usually lowers the blood pressure sufficiently. If a person is over fifty years old, however, a sympathectomy operation, as a rule, holds little L y promise. For these people, the usual treatments have included j rice or low-salt diets, large doses ■ of sedatives ahd the use of cyanate compounds. Better Method Medical scientists have constantly searched for some better method of helping older people with high blood pressure. At present, a few new drugs look fairly V promising. Recent studies have found that a group of drugs known as methonium compounds sharply reduce the blood pressure. In fact, some of these drugs lower the blood pressure so much that in many cases the persons treated could hardly walk because their pressure had dropped go low. By injecting certain forms of these drugs, doctors have been able to lower the blood pressure to normal even in severe caises, aad have maUMnod it at that level for ten days or longer. Thu

Many a fatberwill understand his predicament. Coy hap made an outstanding record his 48 years. Priqr to being appointed to the $15,000 ar ye ar FCC chairmanship, he was an assistant to President Roosevelt and later was . associated with Eugene Meyer, Washington newspaper publisher. Coy’s early training Was in a weekly newspaper tn Carroll county. While many persons would settle for a $15,000 salary, living in Washington ik said to be expensive, plus the deduct for texes.

Second Type of Drug A second type of drugs known as the hydrazinophthalazines, has kept the blood pressure down for weeks at a time. It is belleyed that these drugs work by counteracting a substance known as pherentasin, which is found' in the blood of persons with high blood pressure, b 1 [:l This discqvery may prove to be a new ray of hope for prolonging life and preventing complications of high blood pressure, you should, of course, consult with your physician concerning, the use of these new drugs if there seems to be any need for them.

Her long blonds h*ir was caught in a soft bun at the nape ot her neck. She waved to Seraphine, who was conducting some secret rite with the pots at the stove, and walked over to Liddell. "Hope you haven’t been waiting too long, Johnny. I got tied up at the office.” She bent over him, covered his lips with her soft ones. “You needn’t look so cross. It’s only a few minutes past ten.” 1 “That shopld be my biggest headache, baby.” He helped her out of her coat, draped it over the back of a chair. “I'm not looking Cross. Tm concentrating.

But I hope you may have a clue for me : in there.” He watted while Seraphine came over, ran par for the course in fussing over Muggsy, ' then retired to the stove to dish out two steaming plates full of the blonde’s favorite dish. “Find any- , thing worth while in the Ceria file?” "I*don’t know what you call worth while, but from what 1 did find 1 gather your playmate Ceria is h real juicy character.

' | Muggsyis efforts to grab the envelope back was thwarted by the return of Seraphine with two brim* ming plates of spaghetti and veal and peppers. The blonde took a deep breajth. “Good bye diet tonight,” she murmured. Liddell glanced at her profile in the sweater. “You cajn’t get too much of a good thing.” He sampled the dish in front of him, burned his tongue, swore under his breath. “Look outj for that stuff, it’s red hot.” : “Well, while it’s cooling off, suppose you tell me what this case is all about. ]Where does Ceria fit into “I’ll lell you after you eat,” Liddell tpld her and she had to be satisfied With that.

made him tell where the pacxage was, then came up to my office and picked it up. Now I’m not so sure. A, Now 1 think the kilters probably egme up and tore the place apart looking for it* ■/ J . “Then they may think you still have it?” Muggsy asked. “That's cozy. Skippose they come looking tor it ligam?” , Liddell shrugged. “If I find what I’m looking for, in this envelope, maybe I’ll have it back by then 1 and be waiting for the m." He picked up the manila envelope, un- ’ did the metal clasp, dumped a pile of clippings on the good look at the guys who posed as T-men. If they were Ceria’s boys, chances are they’ve been mugged with him at one time or another.” Clipping by clipping, Liddell traced Ben Ceria’s career from a petty bootlegger to protection czar of New York’s vice. Three murder indictments had failed to produce a conviction; various other charges of corruption and racketeering Were likewise unproven. “Nice character you’re going up r against. Johnny;” , Muggsy shuddered. “Looks lute he has all the protection in thq world sewed up, and. . . ." She broke off, frowned at a yellowed clipping Liddell was studying. “Let ffie see that one a minute, Johnny.? She held it under i the light, frowned at it for a moment. “Weill, what do you know?" Liddell leaned over, looked at the picture of three men she was hold- L ing. "Find Something?” Muggsy indicated a thin, dapper man in the center of the trio. “Thai fellow right jt he r e,” she picked him out with a long, care- i fully shellacked fingernail, “is Hunt i Brin. Until this very minute I never knew Brin was mixed up in that charity gambling swindle nine or ten years ago- what do you know?” ! : '• Liddell took thc clipping, read it. “What’s more interesting is that he was mixed Up with Ceria. The two of them and another guy i named Newkirk rigged a fake charity affair, set up crooked roulette wheels ! and took thc crowd for plenty. Any followups on thia one?” They rummaged through the pile of clippings, came up with a handful, set about reading them carefully. “All three indicted. Newkirk decides to turn state’s evidence, taught' a bad case of lead poisoning ip a parked car on 4 night. Indictment squashed.” He tpssed down the clippings. "What about this’ Hunt Brin character Muggsy?” "Just another case society character.
