YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE.
People attach far too much importance to the question of blood pressure. It is not the fact that the blood pressure being 'high that is important, hut the trouble which is causing the high pressure. This is usually toxic.

Blood pressure -means nothing more or less than the resistance
the heart Ijas to work against. The important thing is to find the muse of the toxic condition and get rid of it, if possible.
