The name of this gad is oxygen,
which is in the atmosphere or
air that we breathe. This cold
air is taken into our system
through breathing. Then it is
carried by the blood stream to*
all the muscles and tissues of
the body, and there it combines
with 1 other elements in the
blood, producing* combustion.
Chemists tell us combustion
produces heat. This heat is con.
