first from lack of nutri, on which causes
physical weakness-and next from a cor.
ruption of the blood which is made from
food, because undigested substances arc
received into it and poison it. Symp-
toms OF this condition may appear in
heart, liver, lungs, kidneys or any organ,
while the cause is in the diseased stoin.
