To keep alive the "--cracy" fad which, since the introduction of Technocracy by Howard Scott, has swept over the country, Dr. W. B.

Biocracy likens the human body to the economic system of the world, bringing into account the manner in which the body throws away its waste products, and the way in which it is equipped with two kidneys, extra lung space and other excessive organs which leave a great margin of safety.
