The Causes and Meaning
of BaRgy Eyelids.

Another group Of diseases which show
themselves in the face are those of the
heart and OF the kidneys. These are
often accompanied by anemia and pale
ness or poor face color, because the
blood naturally cannot be kept in a pure
and wholesome condition when the body
filters are blocked or the pump breaking
down.
But the main changes in the face
are due to waterlosging OF the tissues
from blocking OF failure Of the circula,
ton. This gives rise to a puffy and
swollen condition of the tissues. and as
