here may be 4,000,000 red cells, but only 30 per cent, of haemo-globin. Sometimes there is no diminution in the number of red cells ;the latter, however, appear pale (achromia), vary considerably in size,microcytes and occasionally poikilocytes are present, and, in severe cases,nucleated red corpuscles are found; occasionally macrocytes occur, but ingeneral the size of the red cells is below that which is usually found.The number of leucocytes varies but little from the normal, but theremay be a slight increase. Occasionally there is a rise of temperature, butit is probably due to some complication. (See Plate XVIII.—B, Fig. 1.) The cause of chlorosis has not been determined satisfactorily. Vir-chow has established the existence of congenital narrowing of the blood-vessels. Sir Andrew Clark thinks it is due to the absorption of poisonousmatter from the intestines ; the great benefit that follows saline purgativesin many cases indicates that fecal toxaemia is a factor in these cases.
