Visual Description:  Cardio care.

TEHET  =  TEETH,  SOKKI  =  KIOSK,  VHIRET  =  THRIVE,  TOTOPA  =  POTATO   —   Giving us:  TETKIOTHROATO

Clue/Question:  The patient was told to lower his blood pressure, and he – – – 

Answer:  TOOK IT TO HEART

(My Cardiologist is always pushing this weight loss plan/scheme that his wife sells!  My numbers and weight may not be ideal, but I’m actually in pretty good shape.  Other than that, he’s a pretty decent sort.  Not mega-arrogant, like so many physicians.  Just a little arrogant.  LOL!  What?  Clue words, and such?  All right.  Keep your shirt on.

THERE WERE NO NEW CLUE WORDS TODAY.  THREE OF THE JUMBLES WERE NEW, WITH ONLY “SOKKI” HAVING BEEN USED PREVIOUSLY.  THE ANSWER LETTER LAYOUT WAS JUST PEACHY KEEN.  A WELL THOUGHT OUT JUMBLE.  THE CARTOON WAS DOC STOCK.

Happy now?  Soave.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 04/28/17

“A rumor will travel fastest to the place where it will cause the greatest harm.”   —   Gustavo Agrait

(One great thing about the Cryptoquote is that it frequently introduces you to new people.  New people is probably not the most appropriate appellation for a man who is either 112, or 113, years old!  You’d think that a published author, of this rare longevity, would garner his own Wikipedia listing.  But, no!  Maybe, he has outlived all his children and grandchildren!  Surely there is a great grandchild, or great grand nephew/niece, out there who could post some kind of a biography for the man.  Even a fan.  Born in 1904, and still kickin’!  That alone should count for something.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
