Dangers from the Dead.

That the dead should kill the living,
says one of our exchanges. seems a
paradox; yet nothing is more true. In.
deed, we venture to say that every
year, in our land, cOrpses murder more
people than assassins do. Not only
have intramuTal interments poisoned
whole blocks and quarters, not only
has drinking water contaminated by
graveyards yearly spread disease and
death through country hamlets, but,
before the process of decomposition
commences, there is often a great and
pressing danger from infectious disease.
We quote recent instance:
''Dr, GOldie, the Medical Officer of
Health for Leeds, England, in his re.
port to the local authority, states that
every one OF thirty people who attend
ed the wake Of an Irish girl, who re.
Gently died in that town from typhus
fever, were attacked by that same dis.
ease, and no fewer than nlre of the
cases ended fatally"
So strongly have the needless dan.
gers of exposure at funerals impressed
the medical mind, that the Health Board
of New York have now Issued circu.
lar recommending that no public oil
church funeral should be given to per
sons dying of either diphtheria, scarle
fever, measles, or whopping cough.
In Chicago, also, where scarlet fevel
and diphtheria have been severe thi
past winter, the recommendation of on
hundred medical men in council was il
these words:
"There should be no public funeral
of any patient who has died OF any in
iectious or contagious disease. Remem

son from the we'll is The most certain
means of preventing the spread of the
disease"
A writer in the Baltimore Physician
and Surgeon, last December, went so
far as to advocate the passage of a law
on the subject (the average American
man looking upon claw" as the cure
all on every occasion). He thought it
should embody the following provisions:
/. Whenever any one dies of conta-
gious disease, the publication announc-
ing the death should state the cause 'Gf
death.
Q. No person except the immediate
family should be permitted to attend
the funeral, and the handling and bury
ing the body should be intrUsted to per-
sons who devote themselves TO that
business.
3. A sufficient number of carriages
should be kept for the special purpose
of attending these funerals, and the
hiring them for other purposes should
be prohibited, under the severest penal
ties.
These are good suggestions, but peo-
pie should learn to obey them out of q
natural sense of sanitary propriety, moi
out of obligation to statute.
