I was told, once, that those white, horizontal (perpendicular to tha axis of the finger) marks under the fingernails indicated a nutritional deficiency. I'm starting to show some of these marks and haven't seen them since I was a child. Also, I have had difficulty in swallowing for two months. Does anyone know if this tale is true? If so, does it indicate a particular deficiency or merely that something is out of balance. -- Brint Cooper ARPA: abc@brl.arpa UUCP: ...{seismo,unc,decvax,cbosgd}!brl-smoke!abc
