A Philadelphia physician has made
special study of the phenomena of
death, both through his personal OBJ
servationS and those of others, and
his conclusion is that the dissolu
ton is painless. 81 mean" he ex.
plains, that it approaches as un-
consciously as sleep. The soul leaves
the world as painless as it enters it,.
Whatever be the cause of death,
whether by lingering malady or sud-
den violence, dissolution comes eth
er through syncope or asphyxia. In
the latter case, when resulting from
disease, the struggle is long and pro-
tracted, and accompanied by all the
visible marks of agony which the
Imagination associates with the clos.
ing scene of life. Death does not
strike all the organs of the body at
the same time, and the lungs are the
last to give up the performance of
their functions. AS death approach.

! and more oppressed; hence the rat

perfect to change the black veinous
into the red arterial blood an I'M
prepared fluid consequently issues
from the lungs into the heart, and is
thence transmitted to every organ of
the body. The brain receives land
its energies appear to be lulled into
generally tranquil sleep-filled
with dreams that impel the dying to
murmur out the names of friends
and the occupations and recollec
tions of past life.
