N.IWS from your’
PHARMACIST J
by
Much is said about Hyper
tension (high blood pres
sure), but the condition
known as Hypotension (low
blood pressure) can also be
quite serious. Persons with
low blood pressure are less
likely to have heart disease
than other individuals, but
Hypotension, even in its
mildest form, can cause a
person to tire very easily.
A physician should be
consulted if you experience
faintness, dizziness or head
aches when you have exerted
yourself very little. Other
signs of Hypotension include
mental depression and gen
eral pains over the entire
body. There are various
types of Hypotension as well
as causes. Only your doctor
is qualified to diagnose this
illness and prescribe medica
tion.
And, w.e are prepared to
compound all prescriptions
with accuracy and depend
ability. Rely on us for the
right medication when your
doctor prescribes it.
Your health is our number
one concern.

Political Rhetoric
In the last campaign, both
parties were heard to say
about the other’s candidate:
They have a “ me-to” can
didate, running on a “yes,
but” platform, being ad
vised by a “has been" staff.
