BUT NOT PALE! Chlorosis—the “green sickness” that tormented the Victorian Miss—has become almost extinct since the abandonment of tight and heavy clothing and the adoption of more healthy ways of life. The woman who is pale today should take more exercise in the fresh air. If your heart is beating strongly and if your muscles are sufficiently toned to assist the circulation of well-nour-ished blood you are almost sure to have a good complexion. Eat plenty of nourishing food, and be sure not to stint red meat and fresh vegetables. Spinach is most valuable, as it contains a great deal of iron. Those who are very anaemic would do well to include some liver in thendiet two or three times a week. The new liver diet treatment “makes new blood” by supplying some substance which is deficient or absent from our own liver secretion. An iron tonic may be necessary. Iron is a very important constituent of the red blood cells, and any deficiency is likely to give rise to the familiar symptoms of anaemia. An iron tonic should contain perchloride of iron or iron phosphate.
