his death being caused by an overdose
Of morphia, which he had taken to re-

Mr.. Renter IL engaged in the morocco

at Walton's drug store. On Saturday
night he took very large dose; no
larger, however, than he had taken

the effect Of the drug taken on the

that he was In q weak condition. hav.

DIR. RrOWn-Beq uar6's OptniOn.
DIR. Brown-Sequard was found at his
residence at Brighton, and in reply to
request that he would express an opin-
DIN oil DR.. Tanners experiment, he
commenced BY observing that in the
first place there was no necessity for
the fast so far as q demonstration Of
the possibility Of such prolongation
of human life was concerned, for there
are known cases amply sufficient, nota-
bly, one Of French prisoner who escap.
ed from dungeon into cellar, and
who could not return. He was found
on the thirty seventh day alive, hav-
ing had water, but he died three days
after. The subject of the prologation
of life without food has also been exhaus-
lively treated by Dr.. Choulont, whose
experiments with animals amply salts
fed scientific men, and which have OBJ,
tanned for him the prize Of the Academy
of Sciences. The Doctor considered the
absencs of any really scientific watch
ing and tests rendered the experiment
valueless. ~ don't know" said he,
"whether careful and frequent analyses
have been made on the air exhausted
and inhaled by Tanner, Of his perspir
alton, and of his various excrstion. II
not, there has been nothing of value
proved, ard the scientific results Of the
experiment are absolutely nil" The
fact that DR.. Tanners dynamometer
test had been reported as giving the
number IS seemed 10 afford the Doctor
considerable amusement, for he said
that no man in the best Of health had
such grip power, the fact being that
the number given for Tanners hand
test was among the numbers Of the
outerline, which are for the foot test
80 that as 80 OF the outer row CORES.
ponds TO about IS, Tanners record IL
decidedly weak. The Doctor thereup
ON produced French dynamometer
which he said was simpler than thu
one used by Tanner, and invited youl
correspondent to join him in testing
grips, the result being that both easily
beat the faster's record. "Then again
remarked the Doctor, "you will have
seen that Tanner had alcoholic and
vapor baths, which I suppose were
permitted by the conditions; but alco.
hol is undoubtedly food. and the lungs
would be quick to absorb the vapor o.
alcohol in the case Of a man in Dr.
Tanners condition. In factt the most
interesting thing he could do now IL
what no one would wish him to do, II
on until he died" Altogether, Dr.
Brown.Sequard decidedly deprecated
experiments on every ground, and re-
marked, in addition, that America wal
the only civilized country in the world
where it could be permitted. In Paril
it would be impossible, even we're i
undertaken on the strictest scientific
basis and under scientific auspices.
