The Effect of Massage on the Number and Hemoglobin Value of the Red Blood-Cells (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Effect of Massage on the Number and Hemoglobin Value of the Red Blood-Cells

What we can see under the microscope is what takes place in the tiniest branches of the extreme peripheral circulation. We can scarcely suppose that in the larger channels the same phenomenon is going on upon a more extended scale, for there the stronger movement of the current would forbid it.

Hayem has said that the improvement which we desire to make in anaemia is an increase in the active and circulating amount of basmo globin. Apparently this is exactly what we do get a small degree of by this method.
