Blood
Your blood is made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts, and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
Red blood cells (RBC) deliver oxygen from your lungs to your tissues and organs. White blood cells (WBC) fight infection and are part of your immune system. Platelets help blood to clot when you have a cut or wound. Bone marrow, the spongy material inside your bones, makes new blood cells. Blood cells constantly die and your body makes new ones. Red blood cells live about 120 days, and platelets live about 6 days. Some white blood cells live less than a day, but others live much longer.
There are four blood types: A, B, AB, or O. Also, blood is either Rh-positive or Rh-negative. So if you have type A blood, it's either A positive or A negative. Which type you are is important if you need a blood transfusion. And your Rh factor could be important if you become pregnant - an incompatibility between your type and the baby's could create problems.
Blood tests such as blood count tests help doctors check for certain diseases and conditions. They also help check the function of your organs and show how well treatments are working. Problems with your blood may include bleeding disorders, excessive clotting and platelet disorders. If you lose too much blood, you may need a transfusion.

Physician's Materia Medica on Blood
AMERICAN HELLEBORE
The rhizome and root of VERATRUM VIRIDE, Solander. Cardiac - depressant. having remarkable power to reduce the pulse in fever. Its most- important use is in controlling blood pressure in aortic an eurism, in cerebral hyperemia and in certain heart affections. Apt to cause nausea unless combined with an opiate. Produces best ef fects when doses are frequently repeated. Dose 0.06 to 0.2 Grm. (1 to 3 grs-).5

BARIUM CHLORIDE
Cardiac stimulant, increasing blood pressure and slowing and rendering steady the pulse. Dose, 0.03 to 0.06 Grm. (% to 1 gr.).5

BLOOD ROOT (Sanguinaria)
The rhizome of SANGUINARIA CANADE1\SIs, Lin. Emetic, expec torant, hepatic stimulant, emmenagogue. Used chiefly as a stimu lant expectorant. Active principle an alkaloid commonly called sanguinarine.5

GLYCEROPLASMA
A safe and eflicient depleting agent, accomplishing painlessly what was formerly effected by application of blisters, viz. relief of tension in inflammatory swellings by local abstraction of the watery constituents of the blood. The preparation consists simply of pure glycerin incorporated with a mineral silicate, previously well dried, with antiseptics such as methyl salicylate and boric acid added to increase the efliciency of the application. It has the consistence of soft putty and is applie5

HAEMOGLOBOGEN
A hematinic tonic, which combines the characters of a predigested nitrogenous food with those of a blood renewing agent. The pre paration is somewhat richer in iron than Haemo-mangan (q. v.), which preparation this resembles in composition and properties, Dose, 4 to 15 c. c. (1 to 4 fluidrachms) after each meal.5

HAEMO-MANGAN
A ferruginous tonic, each fluidrachm containing; Iron Citro peptonate, 1% grs.; ManganeseCitropeptonate, 1/4 gr. The preparation resembles dialysed iron in its freedom from astringency and acidity, but it has the advantage over that preparation in the fact that the iron is presented in the form of an organic compound which is readily assimilable. Clinical experience declares it a most eflicient agent in all conditions in which a blood-euriching tonic is indicated. Dose, 4 c. c. (1 fluidrachm) a5

IRON
Compounds of iron taken internally increase hemoglobin and red corpuscles in the blood. Ferric compounds have also great astringency and are used topically as styptics. a. iron Albumlnate (Ferric). A compound of iron that is be lieved to be more easily assimilated than the inorganic salts. b. iron Arsenate. See under Arsenic. c. iron Bromide (Ferrous). Has an alterative and to some extent a sedative action, in addition to that of an energetic hematinic tonic. Dose, 0.06 to 0.30 Grm. (1 to 5 grs.5

NITROGLYCERIN (Glonoin, Trinitrin)
Product of the action of nitric acid on GLYCERIN. The remedy reduces arterial pressure at the same time dilating remarkably the capillary blood vessels. It is thus a remedy for chills and the inter nal congestions causing these, for angina pectoris, for cardiac failure (cautiously used) for some forms of asthma and dysmenorrhea, and in combination with digitalis as a rapidly acting stimulant. Dose, 0.0003 to 0.006 Grm. (1-200 to 1-10 gr.).5

SUNSTROKE
Distinguished between thermic fever, with high temperature and laboring heart, and heat exhaustion, with surface cool and circulation depressed. In the former case apply cold to surface, watching the effect, and using friction to draw blood to the surface. Bleeding may do good, but antipyretic remedies are of no use. In heat ex haustion apply heat to the surface.5
