Hardly week passes that we do not
hear of premature burial. The story
always comes to us in nearly the same
shape. A coffin is exhumcd. for one
reason or another, and the corpse is found
to have changed its position, while the
shroud is torn in several places. Imme-
diutcly, every one who is cognizant of
the event jumps to tho very unnecessary
conclusion that the coffin was inferred
with living iumatc, who, on returning
to consciousness. had struggled violently,
though hopclessly, to escape. Now, tho
theory of premature burial in such cases
as these, is entirely gratuitons. Every
medical man knows that the gases gene
rated by decomposition frequently act
with sufficient force not only to change
the position of a corpse after burial, but
even to burst open the coffin. Were the
inmates of any large cemetery to be OK
hnmed, the same appearances which are
now accepted as evidences of premature
burial would be found to exist in scores
of cases probably, indeed, in tho ma-
jority of instances in which the burial
had been sufficiently recent to admit of
the possibility of detecting any change
in the position of the body. Unfortu
nately, this well-substantiuted fact is not
generally known, except to scientific men.
Consequently, we hear continually OF pre-
mature burinls, which are certainly
among the most disugreeable items of
news which one can meet, and which
briug incnlcnlable grief and horror to the
friends Of the supposed victims. 1t is
not impossible that, in rare instances,
some unfortunate person is buried before
life is entirely extinct, but to conclude
from the mere appearance Of an exhumed
coffin that the iuna'e has been the vic.
tim of any such accident is IN the high
est degree unreasonable aud unnecessary.
