The nature of essential hypertension.

When Hamilton, Pickering, Fraser Roberts and Sowry published their four papers in 1954 I accepted the authority of Pickering and was blinded by the treatment of mathematical data to 8 places of decimals. It never occurred to me to question either the reliability of their data or the validity of their treatment of them, and I accepted for several years their theory of the continuous distribution of hypertension with the corollary that what we call essential hypertension is no more than the tail end of a distribution curve.
