taker. DR.. Rodgers says that he thinks that he
has placed his invention beyond analysis. II

advantage IL possesses over ice is that il not
only preserves permanently. but arrests decay
at any stage. Ice. he says. must be used within
twelve hours after death or il will be OF no avail.
Allekton for ordinary purposes need only be
rubbed over the skin with brush but when
permanent preservation is required it must be-
injected into the veins. The fluid DIR. Rodgers
says. destroys the poisonous gases.
Many clergymen. physicians, undertakers.
and newspaper men examined the bodies OF a
man and two women prepared. The man had
been dead four days; The body was perfectly
preserved One of the women had been dead
fourteen days. but there were no signs what
ever OF decomposition. The other body had
somewhat discolored. the Allekton having been
applied late. All the bodies had dry and

The husband said that his wife. who was
haunted with fear % being buried alive. re-
quested on her denthbed that her remains
should be kept for six days before being buried.
He had promised that this should be done. and
Mr.. Merritt agreed to use every effort TO pre-

not sufficient. The fluid was used and the
body was preserved. and II has not yet changed.
