The condition mentioned in this letter is very
common among men past the age of forty-five.
This is a case of hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis)
with high blood pressure. An examination
nearly always shows more or less Bright's disease,
and this is generally caused by the excessive pressure,
which forces the albumin through the kidneys.
The pain in the region of the heart is due to the
over-worked condition of the heart, which is often
aggravated by gas in the stomach and the bowels.
The pain in the head is caused partly by the excessive
pressure of the blood, and partly by accumulations
of waste in the body.
Many physicians give nitro-glycerine to lower
the excessive blood pressure, but this is useless, for
though the pressure is temporarily reduced, it returns
again.
The condition described is dangerous because
if allowed to continue the patient will
usually expire from apoplexy of the brain, or
heart failure; sometimes death comes through
Bright's disease, with its accompanying
uremia.
Is the condition curable? It is in the majority
of cases. Nearly everybody believes that hardened
arteries with high blood pressure is a fatal affliction.
And it is, if it is treated in the old way. If it is
treated correctly, that is, in accordance with the
laws of nature, at least four out of five will recover
so completely that they can live to be old—far older
than three score years and ten—and they can be so
healthy that they can't feel anything wrong. And
what more can they ask?
In most of these cases correct treatment will
reduce the blood pressure from twenty to thirty
points the first month. After that the reduction is
slower.
If this is true, why don't most doctors and many
laymen know it? Because both physicians and lay
individuals are looking for cures from pills, powders and
potions, aided by serums and operations. And these

An Educational Lecture
By R. L. ALSAKER, M. D.
(Specialist in Health Conservation)
Dear Doctor Alsaker:
Last week I had two severe shocks. One of my friends had a stroke of
apoplexy and is now in a very serious condition; another one dropped dead.
Both of them are a little past fifty, and both of them have suffered from high
blood pressure for some time. I am anxious because I too am past fifty, and
my blood pressure runs from 190 to over 200. From time to time I have discomfort
in the region of the heart and pains in the head.
A third friend tells me that he followed your directions and recovered. He
is active and looks healthy, but I can hardly believe this, for my physicians—
and they are good ones—have informed me that high blood pressure cannot
be reduced. Please write me frankly by return mail. I want to linger here
a while longer.

means will not work in cases of high blood pressure.
The correct way, which is Nature's way, is
so simple and reasonable that very few have
discovered it to date. It consists of living so
that the hardening process stops immediately,
and then the blood pressure begins to decrease.
Usually the patient is out of danger
in a few weeks.
There are exceptions who can not recover. This is
because they have abused themselves so long that
either the kidneys have failed beyond recovery; or
the heart valves or heart walls have been too much
injured; or the walls of the arteries themselves have
become brittle as chalk in spots. But the vast majority—at
least four out of five on the average—can get
into such good condition that they can truly say that
they are enjoying good health.
I have had patrons who were continually
dizzy; who had surging of the blood to the
head; who had daily headaches; who had oppression
in the region of the heart (pericardial
pain) who were so short of breath that they
could not walk upstairs, nor could they walk
as much as a block without resting—yes, individuals
with as bad symptoms as that have
recovered very good health, after they had
been told by competent physicians that nothing
could be done for their hardened arteries
and high blood pressure.
R. L. Alsaker, M. D., is a new type of physician. He specializes in health
and teaches those who coine to him for advice, how to live so that disease
disappears. He has written a course of instruction that explains the cause of
disease and shows the afflicted how to recover. His course of instructions
on the correct home treatment of Heart Disease, Hardened Arteries, High
Blood Pressure and Apoplexy gives specific advice to effect a cure. Ali forms
ot heart disease are discussed and a correct treatment prescribed. Send $3.00
to the Lowrey-Marden Corporation, Dept. 360, 1133 Broadway, N. Y., Publishers
of the Alsaker Way, for " Curing Diseases of the Heart and Arteries."
Follow the doctor's advice for 30 days. If you are fully satisfied with the good
results obtained keep the book ; otherwise return it and we will refund your
money. G. G. Porter, a prominent business man of Syracuse, N. Y., writes:
" Measured by the usual fees of physicians for a single prescription or consultation,
Dr. Alsaker's health-building hand-books are worth $50 to $100
each." Mr. Porter has purchased and given away to sick people more than
zoo copies of the Alsaker Health-building Hand-books.
