ANEMIA: I promised to tell you
this time about a simple method OF
home treatment for anemia.
Were it not for the fact that this
method of home treatment cannot harm
anyone but is found to be beneficial there
would be objection to the idea OF anyone
makig self-diagnosis in such serious
condition as anemia.
Let us takesitsfo granted that your
case is like the one last presented. You
had the flu. Ever since then you have
been listless and a bit pale You are
tired when you get up in the morning
and your food doesn't seem to satisfy
or nourish you. +. -Fss
Now 1 would like to tell you whole
lot about the blood and how it becomes
impoverished, the difference between
anemia ard progressive penicious
anemia but all that would not help you
much.
Let us take it for granted that you
have followed the directions already
given for taking daily sun bath. IT
you have kept that up for the past week
color test will show quite an improve
ment in the hemogloblin or red blood in
your veins and you already feel better.
l told you that this second part of the
treatment would cost nothing, but really
it takes some of the most valuable pos
session you have on earth, something
which money cannot buy. 1t takes time.
If you send for the doctor you expect
to pay several dollars for his visit.
Could you earn that much in single day!
To get the full benefit of this treatment
you must devote full day to yourself
once or twice week for two or three
weeks.
Blood is composed of eight-tenths
water, and it is certainly very logical to
conclude that water should be the proper
thing to administer to strengthen i'm
poverished blood-and this is correct.
1t will be necessary, however, that we
have pure water. When we desire to
enrich such fluid as the blood, it GER
tainly is not wise to employ any article
which is in the least degree impure.
Just think how absurd it would be to
attempt to nourish the blood with:mpure
water. Distilled water is what is wanted.
Secure quantity Of distilled water,
and give in teaspoonful doses, every five
minutes, at temperature OF 9o degrees
F. (blood heat.) You can get it from
druggist or from any battery service
station. This may seem very queer
prescription, but it will be found meri--
torious. The prescription is, as the drug
gist would put it, simply "aqua pura.'
Be very precise in the giving OF this
water-give it just a teaspoonful OF 1t
every five minutes This is the principal
constituent of the blood, and will work
wonders.
But water is rather light diet, and, as
this disease indicates an impoverished
condition, it will be necessary to supply
great deal of nourishment.
All authorities are agreed that very

the form varies materially. great
many desire heavy foods, which, while
they are nutritive all right, overtax the
digestive organism, considering that rest
should be courted.
There is an excellent way, however,
of supplying this nourishment to the
body, and yet without any particular
effort being necessary on the part OF the
alimentary canal This is done by CIV
ing it in small quantities at frequent
intervals, thus supplying the highest
amount of nutriment with the least ex-
ertion.
Milk is an excellent food. But have
good, rich milk; not the pale blue article
which has been SKINNED beyond recog-
milton, and is not as rich as real good
water. Then give few teaspoonsful
of chicken broth, beef broth, or fruit
juices, orange juice is best.
You will need no other food than
what I have thus described and you
