rting their appetite and causing a greenish color of
the skin, it is called "chlorosis." If the symptoms are the destruction
of the lymphatic glands, so often noticed in children said to be
hereditarily affected, we speak of "Scrofulosis." When erroneous
composition of the blood, produced by poor living and unsanitary
environment, causes destruction of the lungs or of certain bones or
tissues, the name "tuberculosis" indicates that the decaying condition
of the affected tissues results in producing numerous tubercle bacilli.
In the many cases in which the destruction is even more widespread,
attacking the skin, bones, brain and other tissues or organs, and where
the decomposing poison, if not hereditary, has entered the blood by way
of sexual intercourse, the ominous word "syphilis" indicates the
resulting blood disease. When the weakened tissues, which are not
sufficiently fed with the elements they need for their normal existence,
cannot resist the developing power of the phosphates prevalent in the
blood, the much dreaded malign "cancer growths" appear.

The destructions wrought by dysaemia in these various forms, cannot be
fully described in this brief abstract. They can all be reduced,
arrested and forced to give place to healthy regeneration by the
hygienic-dietetic healing system. In each case, however, the possibility
of cure will depend entirely on the degree of decomposition which has
been reached. If the trouble is from hereditary tendency it is obviously
harder to fight, and a long regenerative treatment may be anticipated.
If attacked at an early stage, complete restoration to health is
possible in a comparatively short period.

The most careful and thorough investigation by the physician must
precede any treatment. It is his task to prescribe accordingly, with the
development of the disease and its gradual disappearance.

The simultaneous direct and indirect affection of various tissues,
especially of the lymphatics, will necessitate more complicated
application of the various nutritive compositions.

_Diet: I. For the Anaemic._

All that grows in the sunshine makes blood. Therefore, the food of an
anaemic person should consist mainly of articles of diet which grow
above the surface, such as green vegetables, fresh greens, fruit,
berries. Since the blood has already grown very thin, as little fluid as
possible should be taken, and for this reason the boasted milk cures are
far from advis
