and by comparing the figures OF the
water days and the alcoholic days. they
demonstrated the truth Of Lleblg'a

the qulokening Of the heat Of the heart
and they proved the rulnOus aecelera-

the pulse during sleep. and we make
an average Of 100000 beats per day: At
each % these strokes the heart lifts six
ounces Of blood into the vessels leading
from II. which equals for the actual
work done BY the heart the lifting Of
ll6 foot-tona. the alcohol 30 qulckened
the beat Of the heart that II had 10 do
