Hr-Perso- Answer It depends upon how many times Q How many slaps will produce such results? A One slap is enough Q (By Richards) : If a person were slapped three times between October and March would that produce anemia? A If she loved him and if it produced a psychic effect known at heartbreak Q Would smoking cause anemia? A Smoking would not influence my opinion because the question of the effects of tobacco has never been settled Q If she drank several highballs a day would tbit produce the state you describe? A They could but wine would not Q Would being in love with another man produce anemia?
