Excerpt from Treatise on Therapeutics, Vol. 1 A number of disturbances occur after a full bleeding, no doubt owing to the fact that the organs no longer receive an amount sufficient for the discharge of their functions. In proportion as the loss of blood is re paired, these disturbances cease. But, if the bleedings are repeated so often that the blood cannot be renewed, if the supply of nutriment is not sufficiently rich to furnish materials for such renovation, or if a malady, unknown in its essence but very common, blanches the blood to an extent even greater than the most abundant bleeding will cause, a condition of the system supervenes which is known in women by the name of chlorosis, and in men is termed anaemia. Chlorosis is almost always spontaneous. Anaemia is almost always secondary. It is not easy to say why chlorosis is the almost exclusive property Of women; but every one knows that it is extremely rare to find a young man chlorotic. It has been supposed that this fact might be explained by the differ ence between the composition of the blood in the two sexes. Analysis proves that, in general, the blood of a healthy woman contains a little less Of the globules than that of a man in good health. But, admitting that this difference is not without some influence, it is more rational to suppose that the real cause of this remarkable pathological fact resides in conditions inherent in the sex.
