Why2
DO WHITE MARKS APVEAR on
THE FINGERNNiLss
Copyright, 1921. BY The Wheeler Syn

dicatc. Inc)
The finger nails, possibly more than
any other part OF the body. has always
been regarded with something akin to
n superstitious awe. Around them have
sprung up many legends and beliefs,
ranging all the way from the harmless
tales OF European folklore to the dread
tabu OF the Polynesians. where the
curse OF ones finger nails ia held to
lead to lingering and terrible death.
1t is probably because OF this ancient
vencration for the nails that num-
ber of legends have been woven about
the origin of the white marks which
appear during their growth-thc half
moons which are supposed to have n
certain significance. the tiny spots
which mean something else and the
conjunction OF these marks which Is
believed to foretell success or disaster.
AS a matter OF cold hard fact. however.
the white marks on the nails have
nothing to do with anything outside
the body, but are the result OF bruises
or accidental knocks which the delicate
tissue OF the finger nails sustains
while IL is in the process OF formation
under the skin at the base of the nail
itself. Sometimes poor CIRCULATION Will
cause a number OF these white marks.
because the nail is improperly fed st
the time IL is being formed, but strik-
ing the hand against some solid object
Is responsible for the majority of them
even tho VIC may not be conscious of
the injury Mt the time.
