pleasure when the struggles are over
and the cold limbs grow stiff and numb.
Persons frozen in binding snow
storms have reported their sensations
accurately, and they all agree that
which everyone feels at first in eX-
treme cold, they enter into blissful
state from which they do not wish
be reused.
Before the death rattle is heard the
convulsed frame relaxes, the signs of
pain and suffering on the frame disap-
pear and often smile partly opens the
lips The whole body shows signs of
painless moment, and if the mind wan
ders and the tongue utters words they
are all of pleasure and joy.
Those who have watched at hundreds
of death-beds have noted that death
was easy, and officers in battle have
testified that the last moments of dying
soldiers were painless. People who
have been in the jaws of wild beasts in
India and have been rescued at the last
moment testify that n numbing calm
ness was experienced after the first
sharp, painful snap of the teeth upon
them In fact, the approach of every,
creatures fate brings with it kindly,
preparation when life is blissful and
full Of pleasure. The last sensation in
this world is then one of Joy and not
excrnciating pain.
The real knowledge of euthanasiai
certainly diminishes, if it does not en-
tircly relieve, the dread of many of the
last struggle, which has been made so
horrible by vivid descriptions of it's
agony. The pleasures of dying may re-
move great burden from the minds of
hundreds who are inevitably approach
ing death. The old-fashioned notion
that death would be terrible had a bale
full influence upon those who were fight
ing insidious diseases, and many aggra-
waited their complaints by feverishly
dreading the pain of the last struggle.
In this way great deal of harm was
done and many sufferers FASTENED their
own end.
Even in the case of poisoning, the
pain suffered is only when the system
combats against the desire to Weld to
the influence of the drug.
II is a fact that the pain of death is
frequently far less than the pain that
accompanies many diseases that are not
fatal. The pain of rheumatism, for in
stance, is probably more severe than
the usual pain of dying. So is the pain
OF neuralgia or the pain of toothachc.
Death often, indeed, comes as silent
ly and painlcssly as sleep. Those at
the bedside cannot sec exactly when
the vital spark of life gives out with
any more certainty than you can tell
when a drowsy person passes from
.semi-cons:iousness to actual sleep. If
we were not at all familiar with the
phenomenon of sleep how we should
fear that sweet oblivion; how we should
stand affrighted on the brink before
yielding our brain and body to the alb
.solute unconsciousness of healthy sleep.

many Instances tho shortness OF breath,
the pains in the lungs. the Wheeling and rat
tlinE sounds. the night sweats. splitting OF blood.
cough. &c.. which mark tho presence Of this
disease, are accompanied by II severe stomach
affection. The cause Of this Is very easily OK
plained. Tho catarrhal poison drops from the
head into tho throat and thence into tho
stomach. Tho catarrhal process attacks the
sensitive lining o; this organ. the m embrans
becomes inia,ned and sore aud consequently
irritatcd. When food is taken into the
stomach that organ. being unable to perform
its functions. does not digest the substances.
