about Is pounds OF blood.
The blood has as its most important ele-
ments, small round corpuscies, red and
white, in proportion of about 800 red to
white one.
II the number Of red corpuscles becomes
diminished and the white ones increased
the blood is impure, thin, lacking in the
nutrition necessary TO sustain the health

Then That Tired Feeling, Nervousness,
