This is subjee, which ID just now
provoking great deal Of discussion
and attracting great deal of attention
among medical men, and the leading
minds not only OF this continent, but
Of the Old World. ~
In London and other large cities of

1t 10 stated through the highest msdi.
cal authority that tho efluvia and gases
which arise from the cemeteries in tho
vicinity Of large cities are so poisonous
as to oontaminate the atmosphere and
render it very unhealthy for miles
around. But tho strongest argument
brought to bear in favor of ''crsmation"
or disposing Of our dead BY burning, is
that Of tho effect that such . mass Of
putrefying Assh has upon tho water
which il in daily use in tho neixhbor.

the statements made BY these scientists

some kind for this purpose b con.
strueted, 20 - to carry the sfluv;a in.
to the upper dir, with tho addition of
some sort Of patent arrangement
whereby the sshes of tho deceased may
b collected, which process, no doubt,
would b oonsoling feature to tho rel.

chase Of loes At szorbitant prices, sad

We cannot voueh for tho truth Of the

from the saat states that.s society o.
this kind has been formed in New
