ing their books and reading up the sub,
ject. In Olden times the case was diff
ferent, and in France especially, before
the Revelation, medical men were
frequently called upon to embalm
cadavers, although the operation was
applied almost wholly to one class OF
subjects, j. e., to suicides. But why
were the cadavers of suicides embalmed,
and what was the process used?
Suicide" says Beccaria, lis an of.
tense which it seems can be submitted
to no punishment properly so called,
since such punishment could be in
fiicted only upon an insensible or life.
less body, or upon innocent persons.
Now, any punishment that might be
meted out to the inanimate remains OF
the culprit would produce no other i'm.
preston upon the spectators than that
which they would experience in seeing
. statue logged"
And yet, according to the custom OF
Brittany, which, was also general in
France, if anyone killed himself inten.
tionally, he was hanged by the feet and
then dragged like murderer and his
personal effects sold to whomsoever
wished to purchase them. In some
cases, he was tied face downward to a
hurdle, dragged through the streets be-
hind dung cart driven by the public
executioner, hanged for three hours by
the feet from gibbet erected in the
public place, and then thrown into the
sewer. 1t was also ordered that all re.
membrance of the deceased should be
obliterated and suppressed forever.
But before any such proceeding took
place the cadaver was accorded fair
trial before a Judge, whose duty it was
to begin by making an official inquiry
into the circumstances attending the
act of suicide, the place where it &C.
CURED, the life and habits of the de-
ceased, etc. This having been SUBJ
mitted to the Kings procurer, the near
est of kin and the heirs of the suicide
were summoned by trumpet to come
AO0 W0Iu anu piOVlOe MN Win de-
fender. In case they failed to make
their appearance, the judge appointed
. counsel for him, whose duty it was to
defend his client to the best of his
ability by cross-questioning the wit
nesses for the prosecution and offering
all the excuses possible in extenuation
of the offense. If the accused was
found guilty he was punished in the
manner above described; but if he was
adjudged innocent, that is to say, if
the act of suicide was decided to have
been committed in a moment of insan-
ity, he was buried in consecrated
ground.
In either case, however, it was neces-
sary to preserve the cadaver for the en-
tire length of the trial, which some
times lasted for several months, SO
that in case the accused was found
guilty he might not escape punish
ment. Hence the necessity of en-
balming, or sailing" IS it was called.
