ANAEMIA IN WOMEN

The demands made by nature on a woman's system naturally make her more liable to fall victim to annemia (blood impoverishment) than a man. Indeed, by far the greater. proportion of women's allments are directly trace- able to this insuficiency of the blood, MADE.

Everyong has seen casos of women who in some mys terlous unaccountable way start to droop and fade, be como pale, weak and listless, auffer from sudden faint- ing Ats, dizziness or palpitation. These are the signs of incipient anaemia, which, unless checked, soon develops more serious complications such as nervous prostration, dyspepsia, pains in back and limbs, and a general phy sical enfeeblement..
