cess as compared with those eases OF hanging, not
very frequent where the death struggles last for
five or even fifteen minutes, certainly seems supe-
rior The method which Professor Darling sug-
gests of dividing the medulla oblongata with
small knife called the tenotomy. and the French
plan of executing by the guillotine, recommended
by Professor Draper. have think, as many objec
tons the same grounds as the gallows. In the
first place, as Mr. Bergh says ''rhe death is
visible, is manual. and is made to commit
murler and with his own hands take the life
of human being Nc On the other hand. to
perform such an operation DR.. Darling has sug-
eested it would require the service of skilful
geon. This might be thought easy to obtain. but
doubt very much if could be persuaded or
would be willing to perform such operation for
the purpose of destroying the lite of fellow
creature though he be a criminal. The law, how
ever must take the life of an offender and thus
move from the world its criminals; but for humane
itys sake let her substitute some other method as
effectual but merciful and less cruel and may
add more acceptable and less repugnant to society.
