Anaemia

Anaemia literally means ‘bloodlessness’, but strictly speaking this is an unhealthy condition of blood in which the red corpuscles are deficient; this unhealthy condition is indicated by a general pallor of the complexion. The patient becomes very weak, lethargic, tired on slightest exertion. Want of pure air and sunlight and want of proper food, profuse-bleeding etc. may cause anaemia, but in most cases it is the sequelae or concomitant of some other diseases.

Treatment
