It matters not how blood

and one which the doctors find

the slightest impurity in the
blood, any accident which pro-
duces even q trivial bruise or
confusion of the flesh, is likely
to result seriously. Chronic
sores and ulcers often result
from such causes, and in many
cases they are so obstinate that
it takes years to get nd of them.

such cases because potash and
