Apparently many people
are still interested In know
ing about anemias, even after
Ur"" 1 mv recent ar
ticle, because
many are now
a s k I ng me
how they can
tell what type
1 of anemia
they have,
and what they
can do about
it. The impor-
Alvaici lani point to
know about anemia is that
there are two main types; the
primary and the secondary.
The old name for the princi
pal primary anemia was per
nicious anemia. It was perni
cious, because In the days be
fore we knew about liver ex
tract and vitamin B 1 2, all of
the patients eventually peter
ed out and died.
Some persons afflicted wilh
the pernicious form of anemia
suffer wilh numbness and
tingling and (if not properly
treated) eventual weakness In
their legs. Quite a few know
of near relatives who appar
ently or definitely died of the
disease. Some patients started
lo get gray when they were
In high school, Oflen In these
cases a neurologist, after
rhecking the nerves, in the
legs, can say that the disease
Is a primary anemia.
Often, also, a good labora
tory man wilh one glance at
a stained smear of the blood
ran say "This Is pernicious
anemia, because so ninny of
the red blood cells are extra
large and unusually red," In
the cells, there is an abnor
mal amount of hemoglobin
llhr red coloring matter of
the blood). Thp percentage of
hemoglobin is hither than the
pcrecnlatc of red cells left
In the blood.
Would Pump Stomachs
Many a mnlhrr who has
suffered with pernicious ane
mia writes lo sav, "I am now
worrying myself sick wonder
ing which of my four children
will get the family disease.
Please help me to fell how
1 can find out which ones 1
do not have lo worry about "
If I were to see these rhil-
Those three children I would
feel hopeful about; I would
the tendency to a primary
anemia. But the one child
who perhaps had an almost
dry stomach, wilh almost no
gastric juice in it, is the one
who some day may get a per
nicious anemia. If lie were
my child, I certainly would
have his blood examined once
each year, and at the first
sign of a hyperchromic (ex
cessive coloration) anemia, or
tingling in his legs, 1 would
give him each, month a pill
containing a very tiny dose
of the very Important vitamin
B12.
The commoner form of ane
mia is the secondary one
which is due to the frequent
loss of blood, such as from
bleeding piles, or a cancer of
the cecum the large right
side of the colon (large bow
el), or a cancer of the upper
end of the stomach.
Itvthe ease of many women,
a secondary anemia is pro
duced by an excessive men
slrunl flow each month. So
much blood Is then lost that
the woman cannot build it all ,
back in the next 23 days. :
Some of these women have a ;
knob of muscle (fibroid) on
Iheir womb which is keeping
up this heavy How and hen.'e
it may have to be removed
by a surgeon.
In (he case of a secondary
anemia, the red hlood cells
have less hemoglobin (red
coloring matter) than they
should have, and the red cells
tend lo he smaller than nor
mal. To help the patient with
a secondary anemia, the phy
sician should give iron and
not Ft I 2. Hlood specialists
keep lellini! us this, but for
some curious reason most of
us doctors keep giving HI 2.
Moth inm and HI 2 can usu
ally be given by mouth; they
do not have to be given by
lioiteioiically. In rases of mild
anemia, transfusion., should
never be given because there
is the small chance that even
one transfusion mold cause
a serious serum hepatitis
or inflammation of the liver.
This ran cause months of ill
ness and occasionally death.
dren, I would have their III- Enctphalitli
tie stomachs pumped mil, and
perhaps In three 1 would find
a normally arid gastric juice.

It saddens me when a moth

pel Imps after a bad attack of
measles had an attack of en
cephalitis (brain fever) and
is now mentally slow. Unfor
tunately, when the disease
has been present for two or
three jears without improve

hope. 1 don't know of any

child, except to Irain him to
