BETTER HEALTH
BY DR.. Herman Bundesen

IN THE blood of normal per-
- sons is found a protein-like
substance called prothrombin.
This substances Is necessary in
the clotting of blood: unless a
person has enough vitamin X
or anti-bleeding vitamin in his
body there will not be sufficient
prothrombin in the blood.
Newborn babies are more or
less deficient in vitamin K. so
that in many infants there is
danger Of bleeding during the
first few days after birth. This
danger can be warded off by
giving vitanin X 10 the babies
Immediately after birth in those
instances in which the doctor
thinks it Is necessary.
NITAMIN X dissolves in fats,
' and IL occurs in various
foods, especially green vegeta-
bles. II is interesting that Vita
min X is formed in the intestine
by the action of certain types
of germs. Certain of the sulfona-
mide drugs will kill these germs
in the patients intestine, and
thus eliminate an important
source of vitamin X. Therefore,
il would seem important that
when the sulfonamide drugs are
being used, vitamin X also be
administered. Since Ntamin X
is dissolved in fats or oily sub
stances, any person who takes
an excess Of mineral oil for one
or another reason should also
receive additional amounts Of
vitamin K.
In certain diseases. such as
colitis, sprue and calaic disease,
in which diarrhea is a symptom,
a lack Of prothrombin in the
blood is often present. In these
conditions, also, vitamin K
should be administered by injec-
ton. There is a disease called
hemrnorrhagic disease Of the
newborn in which bleeding
from various parts Of the body
occurs. The exact cause Of this
disease is not known, but the
administration of vitamin h
seems to save the baby's life in
many instances.
