origin Of sudden deaths, the Doctor
says the experiment has been tried
in Europe, and reported to scientific
compress held at StrasDure. Sixty
six cases o. sudden death were made
the subjects Of 4 thorough post
morfch3 examination. In these cases,
only two were found that died Of
diseases Of the heart, nine out Of
siXty-six died from apoplexy, while
there were forty six cases of con
gestion of the lungs, that is, the
lungs were so fall of blood they
could not work, there not being room
enough for n sufficient quantity OF
air to enter TO support life. The
Doctor goes on TO enumcrate the
causes that produce congestion of
the lungs. They are-cold feet,
