pepsia

Daniel Webster, when in full prac-
tice, was employed to defend the will of
Roger Perkins, of Hopton. A physician
made affidavit that the testator was struck
with death when he signed his will.
Webster subjected his testimony to a
most thorough examination, showing,
by quoting medical authorities, that
doctors disagree as TO the precise mo-
ment when dying man is struck with
death, some affirming that It is at she
commencement of the disease, others at
its climax, and OGuurS still Affirming that
we begin to die as soon as we are born.
II should like to know" said Mr. SIlli-
van, the opposing counsel, what doctor
maintains that theory?" Or, Watts"
said Mr.. Webster, with great gravity:
THE moment we begin TO live
We all begin to die -
The reply conyU!sod the court and
audience with laughter.
