SOMETHING NEw.-A patent has been
taken out in London and in Paris, for an
improved process of embalming and pre-
serving subjects for anatomical purposes.
A paper on this subject was read before
the Medical and Chirurgical Society in
London, short time since, drawn up bv
o. Smith. accompanied by several speci-
mems of large birds, which had been SUBJ
Jected to the process, and which, at the
end oil more than two months, were found
IN a state OF extraordinary preservation,
the flesh being perfectly sof and elastic
and not the slightest faint or smell discern
able, although no care had been taken TO
empty the crops or the intestines, nor had
the birds been kept otherwise than freely
exposed to the air of common room
with a fire in it. The body of a man.
who died in November last, was also sub.
mIlled TO the inspection of the Fellows of
Society, who expressed their satisfaction
at the great effect and simplicity of the
process, and were of opinion that the dis
covery deserves the immediate attention Of
the faculty. Ii the effects of this pFeser-
Vatlve fiuld, used for emblaming, be not
overrated, it is obvious this discovery will
be attended with important ADVANTAGES to
