earlier conceptions Of it. Two ideas are very
generally accepted which experience shows
to be false. One is that the dying usually fear
death, and the other, that the act OF dying is
accompanied by pain. It Is we'll known to all
physicians that when death is near Its terrors
do not seem to be felt by the patient. Un less
the Imagination is stimulated by the frightful
portrayal of the supposed "pangs OF death, "
or Of the sufferings which some believe the
soul must endure after dissolution, II is rare
passed IN dread. Oliver Wendell Holmes has
recorded his protest against the custom OF
telling person who does not actually ask to
know, that he cannot recover. AS that loving
observer Of mankind asserts. so must every
one who knows whereof he speaks assert that
as people almost always come to understand
that recovery is impossible. 1t Is rarely need.
full to tell any one that this is the case.
When nature gives the warning death ap-
pears TO be as little feared as sleep. Most sick
sleeps what they want. have seen many
people die. have never seen one who SEEM
ed TO fear death, except when 1t was, or SEEM
ed TO be, rather far away. Even those who
we'll with a dread of the end of life, forget
their fear when that end Is at hand. AS for
the act Of dying-the nnal passage from life to
death-it Is absolutely without evidence that
the oft repeated assertions OF It's painfulness
are made. Most people are unconscious for
cases where consciousness is retained unim-
paired until a few minutes before the end, the
last sensation must be of perfect calm and
rest. 1t is worse than cruel to add to the nat
ural dread Of death which oppresses the ma
jority Of US while In good health, the dread Of
dying. There is surely fear enough in this
suffering world-let us not increase 1t by add
ing imaginary TO real causes.
