really remaining after chemical burning
is not in the least degree suggestive OF
the past or the future. The body IS
saved thereby from every possible as
honor, purified from every decay. NO
words can describe the relief which
snch a process would bring to many
and many an afflicted soul. On the
ground Of health to the community, 1t
y would also be most salutary. we lit,
tie know in England, at least. what
mischief is brewing for US in our seeth-
ing cemeteries. =,
They are getting fuller and fuller at
the rate of | know not how many hum
dred corpses day, the later ones being
nearer and nearer the surface. Many
are within four feet Of the turf, and
that is not enough to prevent the escape
of the most foul and pestilential gases.
! know Of one old cemetery which IS
now occupied as eooperage, and
which is constantly wet with stagnant
water All around it typhus fever is
perpetually raging. The danger would
not be so great if the, bodies were buried
without a coffin. The earth would sooner
disinfect them; but as tits, the mischie! IS
nursed and multiplied hundred fold
by the process of decay being delayed.
1t is quite possible that an cutlery
might be made on the plea Of my scheme
being impracticable. can only say
that our undertakers might take this
subject into their consideration, and see
whether they could not furnish all that
was necessary, and conduct the bust
ness of destroying the body with de-
cencv and skill Science will not fail
to furnish the best chemical agents for
performing this service speedily and IN
Extensively.
| should have touched upon the ques-
ton of economy but for my sad expert
ence amongst the poor. The most ordi-
nary burial costs them five pounds; that
is fearful sum for really poor fami-
lv to contribute, and that often after
heavy medical expenses. Whereas my
plan ought to be quite within the cost
of fifth of that sum, let it be done In
the best manner possible.
AS for the rites of burial in them
selves. no wise man would care what
became of his own dead body so long
as it was not left to be an injury to the
living. | should not mind being sent
to the dissecting room, or to the ken
nels. But the rites Of burial assume a
very important aspect in the interests
Of the surviving relatives and friends.
And for their sakes | plead that those
rites may be made as little narrowing
as possible to console and cheer them,
and leave no artificially cruel memories
and associations behind them. 1t is on
this ground that object to the barbar-
Gus practice of Christian burial and
would do my utmost to revolutionizc
our customs in this matter, and intro
duce refined method of burying instead.
