Then it is thoroughly stretched, ono

"A Curious Belief in Regard to Physical
Regeneration.
It is surprising how many people be-
ieve that the entire body of man il
renewed every seven years exactly,
says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.i
This used to be taught in books, and,
although not orthodox now, is still &C.
cepted as gospel by many. To show
its inaccuracy one has only to hit q
nail on his finger hard enough, for in
that case the injured object will come
off and be replaced by an entirely new
nail.
If this process occupied seven years
such an accident would be a very tire
some affair, but, as any mechanic will
tell you, it occupies few weeks. Tho
growth is more rapid in summer than
winter, but never taking more than
four months. So far as the nails are
concerned, then, the renewal process
is repeated about twenty-one times
during the regulation seven years, and
the theory is thus destroyed, even If no
other PR of of it's falsity were forth
