A bit complicated but wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pernicious_anemia says its basically a deficiency of vitamin B12 - I think!  ::)

Yep Pernicious Anaemia is a deficiency of Vitamin B12 - now easily treatable with injections but not easily diagnosed or treated until the 1960's/70's

I remember many years ago being told by an anaemia sufferer that his condition was controlled by tablets, however when he first developed it the treatment was to eat 2lb of raw liver daily to supplement the necessary vitamins.
