WHY COLD TURNS HANDS BLUE
Veins Become Filled With Blood That
10 Impure, Its Color Being
Purpllsh.

The hands or other parts of the body
appear blue because the veins which
are near the surface are filled with
impure blood, which is purplish In
color. A normal. healthful circula'
ton means that warm red blood flows
freely through the arteries. and this
is returned to the heart through the
lungs by way Of the veins. which carry
only ased-up blood. or what is left OF
the good, red blood when the arteries
are through with 1t. The color is a
purplish blue.
Full, uninterrupted circulation OF
the warm red blood is what keeps the
body warm. When the hands are blue
1t means that circulation of good, red
blood has practically stopped-that 1t
is not flowing from the heart through
the arteries in sufficient quantity, and
there is no color in the arteries, as the
blood from them has gone into the
veins. Then the hands will look blue
because the veins are full of pur
plish blue blood, and there are a great
many veins in the hands close to the
surface.
