Iowa Man Is Elected
Trustee Of .Osteopaths

Cleveland, July 27.-Large heads
do not mean large brains, DR.. H
w. Forbes, former president of the
Los Angeles College of Osteopathie
Physicians and Surgeons, told dele
gates attending the 25th annual con-
vention of the American Osteopathie
association late today.
Many large heads mean more
than the normal seven tablespoons
ful of water on the BRAIN" he said
When this normal amount of brain
water is increased the volume OF
blood which can flow through the
head is decreased. This lack OF
blood circulation gravely impairs all
brain functions"
No reply has been received to a
message sent to DR.. H. L. Russell
of Buffalo, asking him to appear be-
fore the convention to answer charges
of alleged violation of professional
ethics for testifying in the Stillman
divorce case.
