J feeling of temporary strength
through the paralysis of his sense OF
fatigue. It is all bunk, every bit of
1t. say he has got temporary feel
ing Of strength due to the fact that
he has been mentally paralyzed, but
when the reaction comes the poor ass

doubt of It.
Now. I say every man drinks be-
cause of the alcohol. Take the al
cohoi ont and they'd as soon drink
dishwatcr.
| Do you know what can do:
Whenever a man drinks the alcohol
drives the blood to the surface, hence
the blood will chill In the winter and

Now. every man has in his blood
| little round substances like that
lcorpuscies One of the objects OF
the blood rs to bring the impurities Of
| the body back to the surface of the
skin and 1t passes Off through sweat
or Precipitation. Whenever you are
working there Is destroying pro
cess going on whereby the cells and
tissues Of your body are consumed
to generate the heat for your body.
The normal tenn perature of your body
Is ninety eight and a fraction de-
grees. and when you get below or
! above that you have trouble. When
you get above that temperature you
have fever. and the trouble Is that
| some impurity has crept into your
body. and therefore the white cor
puscles chase around and try and sur
round all this impure matter and
| choke It out. and II the white corpus
Giles can destroy that matter you will
be all right. but IL they can't you
have fever. That's why people die Of
typhoid fever.
So when you are working, no mat
ter what you are doing. there is a
destroying process going on where
by the cells and fihres OF your body
| are burned up. and that generates
heat so as to keep your BODY UP TO
Temperature of ninety -efght de-
grees and a fraction. When poison
matter gets into your system II must
be thrown of or you will have blood
poison.
| The blood goes through your body
every seventeen seconds. II is pump
/ ed through your heart. and SO ~
picks UP all the impure things and
! throws them out through the pores OF
your skin. There are many of those
| little pores covering your body. There
are 1000 OF them to a square inch
and a grain Of sand will cover $50
OF them. No wonder old David said,
'I am wonderfully and fearfully
made
Physical Laws

a minute. I can strip you and can
put a coat OF varnish on you and a
| few coats Of shellac and close all your
pores and you can so ahead and work
and in forty -eight hours you will have
| blood poison and die. because the
blood has not been allowed to throw
1 off the impure matter The little
sewers are all clogged up and cannot
! do their work properly, YOU have
! blood poison and you are gone.
Now, here's a man that drinks. The

What's the natter
That isn't all. II he were to meet

show that ninety four out OF a hun
