As it turned out, he did bring home a souvenir. A perfectly spectacular, absolutely authentic case of athlete's foot.

Severe high blood pressure was found to occur three to fpur times more often among blacks than whites. Only 23 per cent of black men and 36 per cent of black women with hypertension were being adequately treated, the report states, compared to 38 per cent of white men and 53 per cent of white women.

There was also a high rate of undiagnosed, untreated or Inadequately treated hypertension among persons under age 40, an age group in which high blood pressure is especially ominous as a possible cause of incapacitating or fatal disease. In this age group, only 22 per cent of those with hypertension were receiving adequate treatment 16 per cent of men and 29 per cent of women. The report, prepared by a medical team headed by Dr. Jeremiah Stamler of Northwestern University medical school in Chicago, states that compared to surveys in the 1960s 4nd early 1970s, the control of hypertension is now two to four times better. Since 1971, according to the report, there has been a 40 per cent increase in the number of visits to physicians by patients with hypertension or hypertensive heart disease, and the number of prescriptions written for antihypertensive drugs rose from 46 million In 1965 to 96 million In 1975.
