THE person who is suddenly told he has high blood pressure is frightened and bewildered. Even physicians discovering the disease in themselves are nearly as bewildered and rather more frightened. And so in this book I have attempted to give the patient an insight into his illness that he may be spared some of the dismay and alarm and avoid the quackery that will assail him from every side. Clearly, it is not intended to exhaust either its subject (of which it gives only a meager outline)or the hypertensive who reads it. ___ Of course no book can replace the human warmth, understanding and counsel of the physician. For this reason, among the many, it is vital that the patient consult his physician regularly. But at those times when such a visit is impossible, this book may provide the needed assistance. A book can sum up much that the physician may wish to impress on the patient and call to mind questions needing discussion with him. ___ In writing it, the author have tried to explain: FIRSTLY ..................................what hypertension is. SECONDLY,the purpose of the various examinations given to persons with high blood pres-sure; and THIRDLY .......................what can be done about it. Learn how to live, have an active sex life, eat well, and enjoy life.
