Schnitter (Mnch. Med. Wschr. No. 4, 1929) refutes the established belief that chronic lead poisoning usually causes high blood pressure and insists that it is usually normal or even lower than normal if anemia or toxic-endocrine disorders. The increased blood pressure in chronic. lead poisoning, according to the author, speaks of the simultaneous presence of other causes of it.
