The general impression is that death by

trary would seem to be the fact, Judging
from the following account of the effect
Of such atisitation. given by Gen. Sir G,
j. Napier. He experienced an attack
while in Scihde. where the Thermometer,
according tbt the General himself. was d
as much alseFto him asst would have been

death come In an easier shape. was
just deadly sleepy it was death had !
been left alone but the only feeling Of the
transition would have been d tiredness,
like that experienced on being suddenly
walked up before time. This was toa de-
gree almost painful, then came a pleasant
drowsiness, with anger that the doctors
would not let me sleep. We're it not for
others. would thai my horn had then been

resembles the accounts given BY men who
