The Source of Iron In the Blood.
Contrary to the popular idea, one
may have rich, red blood coursing
through his veins" one may be a
"red-blooded man. and still be sick
Iy, weak or physically incompetent in
dividual.
When doctors prescribe iron-we
mean, when they prescribe it iptelH-
gently to meet a definite purpose
they know full well that the iron in
the medicine will not be assimilated
by the blood. They know that the
medicinal forms Of iron, whether Of
organic tmineral origin, must all
undergo certain chemical changes be-
fore it can be absorbed into the blood.
The medicinal iron must be decom-
posed and converted into the precise
combination the body can utilize.
Therefore it is Of little Importance
which form of iron is given as medi-
cine. DIR. Jacob demonstrated years
ago that even when iron is injected
directly into the veins considerable
part Of it was at once eliminated
through the intestine, and the re-
mainder deposited in the liver, spleen
and other tissues, to be slowly elimi-
mated from the body.
Given internally as medicine. iron
! stimulates or irritates the digestive
organs. and also stimulates or irri-
tates certain blood producing organs,
such as the spleen, and the marrow
Of bones.
| II your blood lacks iron, you should
look to your food to supply iron.
Anemja is symptom, always, and
not a distinct disease. In order to
overcome anemia you must learn what
is producing it in your particular case
! and there are a great many different
causes. When the cause has been
found it must be removed Then youl
blood will soon regain normal
strength, provided your food is rea-
sonably varied and not too much re
! strieted to easily digested and arti-
| ficiaily Ienaturized articles. Foods
which supply available iron for the
body are the green garden vegetables
fresh fruits, whole cereals, fresi
meats. eggs, raw milk. The skins o.
1 potatoes tbakedl contain much avail
able iron.
When the number OF red corpuscle:
is reduced in anemia other remedies
than iron give better results. IroI
is more effective for the increase o
the hemoglobin or ooIoring matter %
