There is popular fallacy about a
drowning man sinking for the third
time dhe number of times man
sinks has noting to do with his
drowning. He may sink but once. and
he may go beneath the water any
number OF times. 1t all depends upon
the person who Is drowning. his ply
steal condition and how quickly the
lungs fill with water. That cycle of
three is carried along by those who
| insist that person dies in his third
congestive chill. But that is not true.
The same rule holds good in conges-
tive chills as in the case of the drown
| ing man. A person may die in the
first. or he may have half dozen,
and still live. The rule OF three does
not obtain there, either.
