A president Of the United States does

Arthur managed 10 get away with the

Arthur lived at a very high pressure.

A striking fact in connection with the
phenomena of death is that dying persons
as a rule have no fear. even though they
fully comprehend that dissolution is fast
taking place. This we notice even in ex
ecutions. where the hanged are almost in.
variably reported rs having died game. y
Physicians and surgeons in general have
decided that death following disease or in
jury is seldom accompanied with fear.
Disease dulls the intelligence 50 that the
situation may not be fully comprehended
in all cases; or again, the patient may be
suffering terrible pain and may look upon
death as relief
1t is generally believed now by psycholo-
gists, surgeons. physicians and Others who
have given the subject attention. that ma
ture. by kind provision, has prepared the
body and mind for the flight Of the spirit.
tits well known that rs the hold upon life
grows weaker the desire to live grows
gradually less. and there is. comparatively
speaking. scarcely a recorded instance
where the dying person has not at last
yielded up life without seeming reluctance
