So the sudden appearance of a Navy frogman from the depths of frigid waters easily explains their startled looks.

New Booklet On Blood Pressure Is Now Available Common Misconcep tion Cleared Up In Booklet Some common misconceptions about the danger of high blood pressure are cleared up in a book let issued by the American Heart Association and available through local chapters of the North Caro lina Heart Assoc : ation, or its statr office in Chapel Hill. Tn( pamph let also reviews modern methods of treating hypertension and states that the outlook for high blood pressure patients is now more fav orable than ever before. The author of “High Blood Pres sure” is Dr. Edgar V. Allen, sen ior consultant in Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. Minne sota, and president of the Ameri can Heart Association. One of the popular beliefs Dr. Allen shows to be faise is that the height of a person’s blood pressure alone tells how serious the condition is. Wha*- is important, says Dr. Allen, is how the person’s heart and arteries car take high blood pressure. In gen eral, women seeru to he able t « withstand high blood pressure bet ter than men, and for pome indi viduals qf both sexes, hypertension may be tolerated comfortably for years with little or no treatment. Another common misconception is that high blood pressure inevita bly leads to a stroke or apojflexy. “it does not,” says Dr. Allen. “Strokes are a possible complica tion of hypertension, but only a .small percentage of persons with hypertension have serious strokes.

High blood pressure i symptoms, such as headaches, shortness of breath and dizziness, are also symptoms of many other causes and sometimes a person can have hypertension with none of these symptoms at all. The only way to make sure, Dr. Alien ad vises, is to let your doctor be the judge. “It takes two to treat your hy pertension your physician and t ’ you,” writes Dr. Allen. “You can play your part best,” he continued, “by following your doctor’s in- • -.rto-u i pi —^ NOTICE TO THE VOIDS OF IK TUN OF EDENTON ‘ I am a candidate for the Board of Pub lic Works in the local election Tuesday, May 7th. i If elected I will try to serve the people of Edenton in a fair and impartial man ner. your vote and support will be appreciated! _, * Sidney S. Campen structions carefully, being patient during trial periods of new medi cines, and easing—as much as you can—your approach to life and its demands.” He pbints out that pa tience is indeed a virtue in dealing with high blood pressure, for each person reacts differently to the modem drugs which can help bring blood pressure down and sometimes it is necessary to try various drugs, or combinations of several, to get results. Special diets recommenda tions for daily living and even sur gical procedures are other methods jthe doctor uses to treat hyperten sion.

Among them he lists hiyedity, emotions which are “wrapped up somehow in the whole business” and changes in body chemistry —for example, into the blood stream of preset*re raising chemical substances by the kidney under certain conditions. Since it is estimated that at least 1 five million people in this country suffer from high blood pressure, it is important that .this research,in to .causes and cures go on. The booklet, “High Blood Pres sure,” was written primarily for the person with hypertension and for members of his family. It ex plains what high blood pressure is, what the physician can do about it and, perhaps most important of all. how the patient can help his doc- r* « - N 1 [ANNOUNCING THE APPOINTMENT OF ’ Edenton Furniture Co.
