But this the real, or logical relation
between the facts in either sentence is expressed in a sentence of the
compound form--an _and_ may be placed before _therefore_ and _hence_.
Unless the connecting word expresses the dependence of one of the clauses,
the grammarian regards them both as independent.
_Temperance promotes health, intemperance destroys it_. Here the
independent clauses are joined to each other by their very position in the
sentence--connected without any conjunction. This kind of connection is
common.
Sentences made up of independent clauses we call +Compound Sentences.
