THE CYCLE OF THREE IDEA A Drowning Man May Sink Not Only Thrice, but a Dozen Times, and Stil Be Rescued—Congestive Chills anc the Merging of Diseases—Law Points Three physicians were standing ii a downtown drug store the other da; when one. who had been looking a an evening paper, exclaimed: "Urea Caesar, here it is again! 1 see It it the papers at least twice a month.” “What’s that?” asked one of the oth ers. “It’s that popular fallacy about i drowning man sinking for the thirt time. Here it says, ‘Just as he wai sinking for the third time he was suve< by the timely arrival,’ etc. The nex time I see this third time business i probably will read, ‘He sank for thi third time before aid could be had am was drowned.’ “Why will people get that fool Ide: that sinking for the third time mus needs be fatal to a drowning man Why, bless you, I saw a man sink i half dozen times before ho was rfes cued nlive. An uncle of mine, wit nesses said, never sank but once, am he was drowned. The number of time a man sinks has nothing to do wltl his drowning. He may sink but once and he may go beneath the water an; number of times. It all depends upoi the person who is drowning, his phys leal condition and how quickly th lungs fill with water.” “That cycle of three,” suggested an other of the doctors, "Is carried a Ion; by those who insist that a person die In his third suggestive chill. IJut thl Is not true. The same rule holds gooi In congestive chills as in the case o the drowning man. A person may di In the first or he may have a doze: and still live. The rule of three doe not obtain there either.” The first physician, with great dis dain, then told how many ignoran persons would swear that "if ye gl th1 malary an’ it runs into typhoi fever an’ it runs into newmony it’ shore death.” ■•There’s that same old rule of thre again.” he continued almost uugrllj "First and foremost, one disease doe not run into another. There’s no sucl thing as a collision between diseases ns rnnuy believe. If one has malar! he has that and that alone. The sam tiling Is true of typhoid fever am pneumonia. Each one is a separat and distinct trouble, and a doctor wit: any sense should be able to diagnos his malady from symptoms which ar always present in each and entire!; different.’’ From popular fallacies in reganj t medicine the conversation drifted t fallacies regarding the law. A lawye present was called upon to explaii first oue thing and another, when on of the bystanders said: "I made a bet the other day that i person had no right to touch a deai body until the coroner arrived, and wron." "Who decided the question for you? asked the lawyer smilingly. "Well,” said the mail sheepishly, “1 was a bartender, but he’s an educatei fellow and is a good judge of the law.' "You speak of the law ns if It wer something to be judged like cuttle a n fat stock show,” replied the attorney "There is no law on any statute bool in any state in the United States whicl says one may not touch a body befor the arrival of the coroner. “In case of murder the old Englisi common law used to require that th' body of the murdered one be left jus ns it lay until viewed by one in author ity. “That was done, it can plainly b seen, for the purpose of preserving th surroundings intact so that whateve evidence might be there would not b disturbed. In case of a murder today especially If any mystery were con nected with it, common sense wouh teach a nerson to leave evervthinar in tact, not alono for the coroner, but fo the police officials as well. But shouh the body of a murdered man be rnovei there Is no law covering it unless i could be proved that the person wb moved the body did it with the inten tion to destroy evidence. In cases o suicide or death by accident ther could bo no objection to moving tb body anywhere in the city if done witl humane or some other proper motive.' “I’ll tell you what is the law.” sail a stoop shouldered, long armed mai who had been listening long enougl to get the gist of the discussion. “If i fellow sees a murder through a paw of glass he can’t be a witness in tb case.” “Oh, piffle!” exclaimed the attorney *T’m going to lunch. That’s the limit I was waiting for some yap to sprlni that. If that was the case and a mui der should be committed in this roon half a dozen of us could not be com petent witnesses, if your statement i true, because we are wearing glasses Glass is glass whether in a window o on the nose. There is no such law a that. That’s foolish.” “I heard my grandfather say that,’ insisted the long armed man, “and h know’d law too.” “Yes,” retorted the exasperated at tomey, “and he no doubt gave It ou as law that a man could stand with hi back against his own house and kil any one who came within a eertab distance of him. But he would hanj ‘for it unless he had mighty good dc ge. All of those things are wha :&1> ‘chimney; comer law,’ but the; ’t hold 'dn * court”—Kansas Cltj •OftL First Publication Jan 13 Notice of Application for Allowance and Assignment of Personal Property.
