gravitation exercises in this respect, and
how its disturbing influence Is compen-

Ii has been found that man probably
possesses a more complete compensation
Of this kind than any other animal. and

In such n case death is more likely TO
result, according to the conclusions Of
Professor Leonard Hill. If the body is
placed in such a position that the alb
domen is at a lower level than the heart.
But the danger may be diminished or
removed either by elevating the abdn.
men or by COMPRISING il so as to drive
the blood mp to the heart. When the
heart itself. however. has been injured.
as by chloroform, there is danger in fore
ing the blood too rapidly into IT,
Professor Hill finds that. generally
speaking, the best position for the body.
when the power Of compensation for IL.
effects of gravitation has been arrested,
is with the feet up instead Of with the
feet down. - Youth Q Comnanion.
