In our last con1erencs on this
subject We played . scurvy trick
on the reader. Told him to sit
quietly at rest for IL minutes. then
to take four Or I'VE moderately
|deeper breaths than ord lnary. 1pme-
think IKE highs rather han hAih 0r
heavy breathing, then to hold his
breath % long - he could. timing
himself with . watch. We told him
that the normal br1aking point,
when breathing must be resumed,
ID approximately 10 seconds, and
that II he couldn't last that long
without breathing he was beginning
to die. Then. assuring him that 10
need not be alarmed about that, We
limited that he might even yet come
back to life-and then we called It
q day and dismissed Virginia.
But Virginia ID . paragon Of, eff
cheney. She is right back on the
job, all set to take down the next
chapter and little sorry, too, about
the cruel conclusion Of our last
chapter. Virginia. has much too
much sympathy for the .aity any,
way, but we hope to break her of
that in time. .
Now, dear reader, il you broke
under 40 seconds that by no means
proves that you have heart disease;
1t might as readily signify q bad
cause of autointoxication or some
thing the matter with your lungs.
But we can't withdraw the asser-
ton made in the last conference,
namely, that it does certainly mean
you are beginning to die, that you
are, oh, say, one>eighth dead now.
But don't take that too seriously
for didn't we assure you that you
can still come back and be as much
| alive as any Of us?
What is a physicians work, il
not comforting the dying! All q
doctor does is 60 about assuring
people who vary all the Way from
one-flfteenth to half or more dead
that there is soap, hope, or dope
as the case may be.

tuted, which occurred when he fell on pitch

the miraculous escape of "a hired man" who
