Mur phy, professor of medicine . at Marquette .university. He re-J minded doctors that "many hy persensitive patients require lit tle or no treatment and live sat is factorily for many years." Doctors have "forgotten" that, he said. They have "half forgot ten" that there are other meth ods of dealing with high blood pressure besides drugs, he added, and coptinued: 'The failure of physicians to to take adequate time to discuss fully the significance of the in dividual's problems, the decreas ing emphasis placed on the pa tient's habits, and the diminish ing role of the diet in the control of hypertension are to be deplor ed.. Middle Course Needed "Some physicians have become so drug-conscious that every pa tient with any degree or type of high blood pressure receives so called 'benefits' of hypotensive drugs, but in some instances in stead of being beneficial the re sults are detrimental. The ecstasy with which these drugs are reported, sold and used re quires considerable modifica tion." ' " But he underscored that he was no advocate of a "do-nothing policy" he felt "there, must be a middle course between the ex tremes of the bid and the excess es of the new." His remarks are in the technical journal "Post graduate Medicine" and this re porter volunteers the comment that self-criticism is a common and reassuring occurrence inside medical science. Doctors can't come to unani mous agreement as to the nature of most hypertension because its cause is unknown. And "since the cause is not known," it can't be treated rationally by remov ing the cause, he said. There now is a "tendency to consider all high blood pressure as equally significant." Yet in many cases a relatively high blood pressure "May be compatible with good health, vigorous life and old age. A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W.

WILKES LYNN COLBY 133 South Central Phons 2-9322 surras But he thought it wise to "at tempt to control excessive hy pertension when it exists." The attempt can begin with "an in quiry into the patient's mode of living, daily habits and diet. These measures may prove ben eficial, especially if performed in conjunction with a careful, sympathetic understanding of the patient's troubles. Many tim es a blood pressure falls to nor mal after some emotional factor is removed." He was not at all against the high blood pressure drugs. In deed, he and his associate, Dr. Earl C. Schulz, had found them to be effective in many cases, but with "side effects." He cer tainly wasn't suggesting that they shouldn't be used, he said, but he was recommending "cau tion" and suggesting that they be used only after careful atten tion to the patient's diet and his "mode of living and habit."
