Finger Nails nnI Disense

1t is interesting to watch the history
of n ease of disease as recorded upon
the finger nails When We look ut the
patients nails, we see on each of them
distinct ridge, showing that the per
tion of the nail which has grown since
the acute attack is much thinned out
If a person has broken his arm within
eighteen months, the ridges on the
nails OF the hand Of the affected arm
may be seen, while they will be absent
on the other hand The more acute
the illness the sharper will be the
ridge Extreme anxiety and mental
depression have the same effect on
the nails as physical disease
