Scientific american: "Hyrti, by far the
greatest anatomlst of the age, used to say
that he could distinguish, IN the darkest
room, by one stroke Of the scalpel, the brain
OF the inebriate from that Ct person who
lived soberly. Nov and then he could con-
graduate his class upon the possession Of a
drunkard's BRAIN, admirably fitted, from It's
hardness and more complete preservation,
for the purpose of demonstration. When
the anatomist wishes to preserve a human
brain for any length of time, he effects that
object by keeping that organ IN a vessel OF
alcohol. From soft, pulpy substance, 1t
then becomes comparatively hard, but the
lnebrlate, anticipating the anatomist, begins
the lnduratIng process before death beglrs
it, while the brain remains the consecratsd
temple of the soul-while its delicate and
gossamer-like tissues still throb with tie
pulse of heaven born life. Strange infatua-
ton, thus to desecrate the God-hke! Terri
bic enchantment, that dries up all the foun.
tsiDs of generous feelings, petrifes all the
tender humanities and sweet charities Of life,
leaving only brain Of lead and heart Of
stone!"
