In the case Of dilatation OF the
heart, which is really a hollow
mass of muscle. the fibers OF the
muscle have undergone a pro-
cess Of softening.
The Noftening is generally due
to the action Of toxins or polsons.
These are absorbed from some
focus of infection, generally IN
neglected teeth and tonsils, but
may be in the jaw bone or va
rious cavities Of the head or the
intestines. They then course
through the blood thus reaching
and weakening all muscles.
There is no person Of sixty
whose heart muscle has not been
subjected, at one time or another,
sometimes for long periods, to
precisely this weakening infius
ence.
There are but few people Of
sixty who at the present moment
are not carrying dangerous cen,
tiers of infection concealed about
their persons, especially in some
horrid looking and worse smell

good they have done and that

Cling up by my side on the sofa
in front of the fireplace.
THE Greeks believed that all
the human race and animals and
flowers sprang from the earth.
For instance, in countries
which were wooded they thought
men sprang from the rocks and
trees. In valleys they believed
they were born of the moisture in
the meadows. :.

There were two great tribes,
which were formed later on. They
were called the PeIasgic and the
Hellenic. l will tell you the story
about the origin or the Hellenic
race.
"Deucalion lived in Thessaly.
And the story goes that a great
flood swept over tnat part Of the
world and swept away the whole
human race except Deucalion and
his wife, Pyrrha."

Exactly" l answered. Except
that Deucalion wasn't the sea
captain Noah was. Now, when
the flood had abated, Deucalion
and Pyrrha found themselves on
the top of Mount yParnassus, all
alone.
They descended from the noun

up in Olympus, gave them a com

Bobby impatientIy.
