arteries LIKE WATER PIPES

DENVER, Jan. 10. - Water pipes
and water pressure We're used by
DR.. j, n. Hall, Sunday night. in
his lecture on Diagnosis" in the
Sunday night medical talk series at
Unity church, to illustrate the hui
man body. 1t was an illustration,
too, that appealed to the audience
and made the layman understand
some of the points brought out by
the lecturer.
DR.. Hall said that lime gathered
in the arteries of the body and the
pressure of blood became insufficient
to force sufficient quantity through
the arteries, and therefore appoplexy
and kindred ailments resulted. and,
eventually, death resulted. He used
the water pipes here to show that
II the pipes We're down long they
would rust, or tremendous pres
sure would break them, or they
would break from constant use. The
same Illustration was made to show
that arteries would burst when nm
