These humors get into the
blood through deranged or inactive
condition of the system. Those
members whose duty it is to collect
and expel the refuse matter of the
body fail to properly do their work,
and this surplus or waste matter is
left in the system to sour and fer
ment and be absorbed into the
blood. There are also certain
other humors which get into the
blood from without. The Juice or
milk from poisonous plants, such
as poison oak, poison ivy, nettle

pores of the skin and takes root in
the blood. This causes breaking
