No Wrist Hacking
SPOKANE, Wash. June 5.—(JPh
If you must fight with your fam
ily.'don't do it at meal times, be
cause you can't fight well and
digest well at the same time.
Using that as a thesis in a speech
for delivery today, Dr. W. W. W.
Pritcherd, Los Angeles, told Osteo
paths from Washington. Idaho, and
Montana, that the two kinds of ner
vous systems in the human body can
only do one thing at a time.
“The Para-sympathetic system
attends to the digestion of meals.*’
he said, “while the sympathetic
system takes care of the business of
fighting and quarreling. Only one
system can work at a time.
