Cold Applications and Digestion

Dr. Chudnowski recently experimented on twelve Russian soldiers with a view to discovering the effect of cold applications to the epigastrium on the rapidity of digestion. Each soldier regaled heartily; his epigastrium was properly refrigerated, and the exciting contest began. Unfortunately for lovers of the weed, the competitors were divided into smokers and non-smokers. The rival teams digested their very hardest, but the non-smokers out-distanced the others by the space of one hour.—Happy Hints.
