cold attacks the surface of the body
the blood Is set into more free circula-

is through the circulation of the blood
that the human anatomy is kept In a
state OF repair. When the food has
been digested and converted into
liquid form. it is taken up by the
blood and carried the rounds OF the
system for the purpose of repairing
the waste places. When the cold
