It's Fear is an emotion strong | enough to cnusc fainting; pain, 1 any unusual exertion, or fatigue ! will deprive the brain of blood. During the time when I was a life insurance examiner, I had two experiences which have confirmed my belief that fainting is due to withdrawal of blood from the brain. The first occurred when 1 was examining a healthy young appli cant who was standing at my side while I counted his pulse. My fingers were on his wrist and my eyes were on the watch, so 1 could not see his face. I had counted about a half a minute when the pulse suddenly stopped. It had been a large, rapid, bounding pulse. The transition was so sud den that I thought the artery had rolled from under my fingei. Hut just then I felt a tug from the young man's arm nnd I looked up just in time to see that he was deathly pale, and had to put him down on the floor where he quick ly revived. Another Experience The second experience was sim ilar, except that 1 was taking the blood pressure. Again the subject t.-bs a perfectly healthy. roousc man. He was seated at the side of the tlibit- with blood pressure cutt" in place. Attain my eyes were occupied bv looking at the blood pressure apparatus, so 1 did not see the condition of the applicant. What 1 did notice, however, was that the systolic blood pressure could not be found. The mercury column went down and down, al most to xero, when my observa tions were interrupted by the pa tient toppling over on the desk. Aj;ain, he revived promptly. Here we have two natural ex perimil'ills, showing ill the one ease that I he pulse entirely stops at the moment of fainting and in the sec ond ease that the blood pressure falls to a level mi luw that it means no blond can be pumped to the brain. Some Serious Cases Although 'J'J per cent of eases in i people under UO are not serious, 1 there are a few conditions which . I'iiuse fainting and are serious. One of these is a form of heart trouble called heart block in which the heart becomes very slow—so slow that there are moments when there is no Mood in the brain, so fainting results. Hardening of the arteries in the brain will also lead to faint in); attacks. Onlookers and worried relatives observing a person who has fainted should remember that very fre quently at the end of a faint there is a slight, generalized convulsion; also that it is a tegular thing for breathing to stop entirely during a period ot' fainting. l|l KSTIONS AND ANSWERS B.
