and 1t Is not only interesting but
important that you should know
at least something Of the methods
that science has developed for the
examination of your blood.
To begin with, you should
know that your blood contains
red coloring matter-miilions of
little roundish cells, some white

jelly that coagulates or clots when
exposed to the air and numerous
more incidental clements.
All departures from this pro.

something may, but does not al.

your doctor either examines your
