Farmers Versus Bovine TB Testing Law Debate
Herbert Mathes and John Hospers weigh in on the TB testing law. Mathes denounces the law as graft that condemns farmers, slaughters cattle at low prices, and lets meatpackers profit. Hospers calls for comprehensive enforcement and more laws to protect taxpayers. They frame the issue as a clash between farmers and meatpackers with public costs at stake.

Age Based Estimate Of Normal Blood Pressure
The text explains normal systolic pressure for a 20 year old around 120 mm Hg and suggests adding one point for every two extra years of age to estimate normal pressure beyond 20. It notes blood pressure rises with age, influenced by emotions, exercise, and eating, and links higher pressure with arterial hardening and diseases of heart arteries and kidneys.
