The Odor Of Death

Many people believe, says Knowledge, that soon after death a peculiar smeH arises from the body. There IS deatn in the house." old women will say. oo' too. it is well known that in some coun- tries ravens appear, oftentimes 1n large numbers. almost immediately animals have expired It Is easy to explain all such phenomena by changes due to oe- cay of the body; but the smell peIore death, which is referred to as odor mortis. Is not so easily understood. Inls death smell" attracts several specles of flies to the dying in certain seasons and the approach of death in a human being or animal, if it occur at tune of the year when these insects are III active life, is said by some to De un- mistakably heralded by the determined manner in which such flies settle on the skin, especially in the region or the noStrils.
 According to many authorities the smell is unappreciable to average nasal organs, though not a few trained op- servers are without doubt or Its ex- istence Of numerous cases which have recently been put on record in the British Medical Journal. one or two may be referred to here, as they pro- vide sufficient ground for further in-' vestigation. An apparently strong. healthy nurse was suffering from se- were attack Of typhoid, ana toward the end of the first week a peculiarly heavy odor was noticed about the patient by the doctor in attendance and since he had noticed a similar smell in previous fatal cases he felt anxious. Shortly after the odor had been detected the nurse developed other symptoms and died.
 Another physician records that hav- ing remarked the smell in the case of child, who otherwise did not appear to be seriously i'll, he regarded it as sign of most unfavorable import and sought consultation. The consultant thought there was no cause for anxiety, yet the child died within forty-eight hours. These and other cases described by medical men certainly give ground for the belief that in some cases at least, the approach of death Is heralded by a strange odor, though it is difficult to understand exactly the cause If it's oc- Currence

 tudes of victims" he says, "have been sacrificed on the altar of ignorance. 7" Continuing, he remarks:
 That tuberculosis Is produced by the Koch bacillus no one now denies: and it is also undeniable that the bacillus Is found in every organic lesion of this nature.
 "It is also an evident fact that the younger the being which is exposed to contact with the Koch bacillus. the more readily is it absorbed and the more quickly 1t Is developed. extending fn very short time to almost all the organs being disseminated through the ganglions, bones, liver, spleen, lungs, etc, while in adults it Is seldom found except in the lungs. Pas teur also observed that the younger the animal when inoculated the more susceptible 1t is to the action of the bacillus.
 Therefore a fact on which our atten- tion must be fixed is, that the younger the human organism the more easily IS

it invaded by the germs of tuberculosis and the more rapid and extensive are the ravages which this germ produces.
 "The experiments made on animals also substantiate this fact, according to the experiments of Bernheim, Straus, Sanchez, Toledo, Grancher, Nocard, Leyden, Max Wolff; and even Baum garten, the defender of the theory of heredity, who inoculated male, female and young rabbits with the tuberculo- sis germ. reports that the female be- coming pregnant after being infected did not give birth to tuberculous young, and if the latter were separated from the sphere of contagion in which their progenitors lived this disease was never known to be developed in either themselves or in any of their de- scendants."
 Tn further proof of his theory Senor Ponce de Leon cites statistics from Schutzlein, physician of the hospital at Munich, who in treating 613 children, 43.59 per cent of whom had one con- sumptive parent and 6.S6 per cent both parents consumptive, had not noticed single case of tuberculosis in the

 NOT HEREDITARY

~ ENOR PABLO LOZANO Y
 PONCE DE LEON, director of the
 Society for the Protection of ChiI- o drer at Madrid. contends that, tu-
 berculosis is not hereditary, and that the question in connection there with which remains to oe settled is sim ply whether predisposition or immun- ity is hereditary. In an address de- livered before the Congress of Hygiene, recently held at Madrid, reported in La Escuela Moderna, he gave 1t as his opinion that the theory of heredity of this disease, admitted by all physi- clans from the commencement of med icine up to the present time. must be considered the saddest of all medical doctrines, and that it is this which has made it so difficult to treat the opposite doctrine of contagion justly Multi
