The heart IS the king Of the organs

by assuming the available supply to

cease everywhere. Transit facilities
would be dead. Factories. manufa".

Vast industries like steel, iron. copper.
etc.. would cease. Armies Of laborers
would be thrown out Of work. Malls.

and internal trade-all would cease to
exist. The trilogy governing CONNER
