Promiscuous Use of Drugs for
High Blood Pressure Attacked
Br DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Drugs
are being used too promiscuous
ly for high blood pressure, ac
cording to Dr. Francis D. 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.

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."
