Tnis type is quite different from the paiior and ghastly paleness that needs in- quiring into. If you are pale and washed-out looking. with pallor that somewhat resembles the sickly look Of the in- side of washerwomans hands; if your lips are pale or blue and your gums and the inside of your eyelids lack the tints of health. something is wrong with you physically
 Often such paleness means anemia, or a lack of red corpuscles in the blood. This means the blood cannot take up enough oxygen for your needs and before long you will be getting puffy, headachey, and generally lack adaisical looking.
 It behooves' the anemic person to get built up at once. Take tonic with good, blood making qualities. Drink a little claret with your meals. if you take wines. Eat plenty Of hour fshing food and drink all the milk you can. Raw eggs are also good. Tn addition to diet, live in the sun- shine, exercise daily, and go in for deep breathing.
