PRESERVATION OF DEAD.
A New Embalming Process Which
Seems to Solve the Problem.

A New EmbaIming Process Which
Seems to Solve the Problem.
An interesting demonstration is now
being given at the examination hall
of the Royal College of Surgeons of a
wonderful machine invented by Bel
gian doctor for preserving the dead
against the natural law of decay. His
apparatus effects a subtle chemical
change in the tissues of the dead body,
which make It impervious to decom-
position. What the change is even
scientists cannot exactly say. They
know enough, however, to assert that
1t delayed almost indefinitely the dis
solution into dust and ashes. This is
the latest as It will be the most use
full development in the ancient art of
embalming.
It's method is more wonderful than
any yet discovered, because no impi-
GUS hand need touch the dead. In the
more material sense nothing is done
to the body by handiwork; it Is simply
subjected to air heavily charged with
the pungent chemical known as form
aline. This air penetrates the whole
body, and, in the course of time,
makes the tissues insoluble and the
stomach and other organs sterile Thus
decay is arrested without visceration.
In a word the dead are given a new
life.
Proof of II can be seen today in
Brussels. There, in the public mortu-
airy, are coffined dead bodies, changed
by formaline into something which re-
sists natural decay. Constant expos
ure to the air, which, but for expert
mental purposes, could have been
avoided, has had but one result. It
has changed the skin from the pallor
of death into a slightly brown color
through desiccatlon. One of these
machines is now in London for dem
onstration before the Royal College OF
Surgeons. All the leading pathologists
in London have investigated the new
system, and II is understood that they
are satisfied that the great problem of
preserving the dead has been entirely
oyercome.-London Telegraph.

would know that when a man is weak
and run down, when his activities are
slowed down if not altogether stopped,
there is something wrong with the power

When nutrition fails the body fails The

the nutrition is reduced and the body's
power is reduced in proportion.
A DOCTORS DIcTUM.
An eminent physician in lecture to
medical students, said in substance,
UWhen you are called on by a sick per-
son the first examination must be di-
rected to the stomach" Just as the
mechanic knows the powers off when
the machinery stops, so the physician
when he sees man weak, tired, and
helpless, knows the power is off. The
food the man eats is not being converted
into nutrition. When food is digested,
assinilated and converted into nutrition
Il must strengthen the body. When the
BODY is weak, deficient in vitality and
yigor il must be because 1t is INSULT

food or because the food eaten is not
