LIFE-IRRUPTION Mount ITESCE'CEITVIAN;
CO-INCIDENT ON OUR COAL-PIT DEATH EXPLOSIONS
METEORIC. Memo. for J. BIRD (charred-black, alas, unaided), at
Wigan, &c.—Keep up the isolation of the bony-fabric thro'
inhala-
tion of the pure white flame air left ye'—refilling hourly the nostril
air-vase exhaust cylinder of the lungs for inmost beat expulsion of
the sulphurous lire-damp gas—from the skin-vescicles for regenera-
. lion of fleshy covering underneath. This Vesee'o3uveian life-giving
mode by '• Captain" ACKERLEY has providentially resuscitated
eight (including " the man with his dog"), of the miners " blown"
with gas and charred by the late disastrous colliery explosions
near Steurbridge, Chowbent, and Wigan, as pbenomenized in
February, on the 9th to 13th inst. Thus proving (as in like instance
at Hadieigh and Dudley Poi t last year) that his practical utility be-
lies his calumniators—the Goverument-talking drones, and that his
uselviness, •thro' God's gift, altbo' at self-expense [See the Cap-
tain's, " Savoyien'nated facts* Historiquel, verifies the old adage,
that " Where there's a will th,-re's a way" for alleviating this dire
calamity of the working classes—found, dying like dogs.
