EVERY SEVEN YEARS.

a Curious Belief I'm Regard to PhysiceI
Regeneration.
It il surprising how many people be-
Neve that the entire body of a man In
renewed every seven years exactly,
says tho st. Louis Globe-Democrat.'
This used to be taught in books, and,
although not orthodox now, is still &C.
copied as gospel by many. To show
ito inaccuracy one has only to hit
nail on his finger hard enough, for in
that case the injured object will como
of 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 q few weeks. Tho
growth is more rapid in summer than
winter, but never taking more than
four months. So far as the nails ara
concerned. then, the renewal process
IL repeated about twenty-one times
during the regulation seven years, and
tho theory is thus destroyed, even If no
other pr of Of its falsity were forth
coming.
