Premature Burial.

Statistics have been prepared to show
that in Europe out of every 100 sup.
posed deaths one person is resuscitat-
ed. Although members of the medical
profession refuse to take any interest
in the matter, it is probably true says
Suggestion. that many persons are
buried while in state of suspended
animation. 1t Is stated that in the
cemetery just outside the town Of Wei
mar there is special provision made
against the danger Of premature burial
from suspended animation. No bodies
are placed in the ground until they
have spent considerable time in a re
ceiving vault. In the fingers of the
corpse are placed strings which com.
municatc with an alarm. The least
movement will ring bell in an ad.
joining chamber, where a guardian is
always OH the watch. In several In
stances by this timely alarm persons
prematurely buried have been. rescued.
1t is said that the provision arose from
the tradition that one of the princes OF
SAKE Wci1nar this being their family
burial place, was buried alive.

he Treated.
1t was formerly thought that the
stomach was the main organ Of diges-
ton, and dyspepsia was supposed al
ways to have its seat there. But this
question has been much studied of
late, with the result that the stomach
has been found to lie OF little account
comparatively In the preparation Of tho
food for absorption. The most impor.
tant part OF digestion occurs in the I'm.
per part Of the intestine, where the
food, after leaving the stomach, Is
churned and mixed thoroughly with
the bile and pancreatic secretion.
Since. then, the intestine takes such
an important part in digestion, 1t ID

perform this function properly would
give rise to serious disturbances OF
