SHE WAS POISONEDl

Not by anything she drank or took, but
by bad blood. Is it any wonder she
feels "blue?" In most cases blues are
only another name for bad blood. A man
or woman feels unhappy. Life seems
dark. The heart is heavy. Bad blood is
carrying its poison all over the body, and
we call it "blues."
