SLEEP AND DEATH.
Neither Pain Nor Consciousness at the
Instant Of Either.

-Iae phenomenon called sleep may be
summed w. "a the following PROPOSE
lions, says a writer ia the Cssmopoii-
tan:
First-Sleep is temporary death OF
the functions OF the sensitive system.
due TO exhaustion 10y fatigue
Socondly-This death is temporary
because the vital system continues TO
perform its functions during sleep and
restores the sensitive organs 10 their
normal condition.
For our purpose death may he con
sidered under the three heads-natural
death, sudden death and death from
disease. Natural death is death from
old age. II differs from natural sleep
only in degree.
Tho gradual loss of senslbility by the
sensitive organs which preceies sleep
now takes place In the vital system,
and all the organs pass into permanent
sleep together. There can be no pain
preceding or at the moment of such Il
death. any more than there is pain pre-
ceding or ut the moment OF passing
into temporary sleep.
Sudden death may be defined as
death due 10 n sudden injury from
without or within the body sufficient
10 destroy at once all irritabillty Of
both the sensitive and vital systems.
Il requires no argument 10 prove that
n person who is suddenly stricken dead
can suffer no pain. The clement of
time must be present in order TO suffer
physical pain. and in the sudden death
of n person the element OF time is alb
sent
We come now 10 consider the third
and by far the most frequent form OF
death-namely, death from disease.
As soon Is disease is established dy-
ing begins, which is but Il more rapid
than natural ceaSing OF all Sensibili-
ties, accompanied with more or less
suffering, according 70 the cause which
produces it. This dying and suffering.
called disease, must terminate either
in so called death, which is insenSibil-
ity ia il, or IN recovery, which is re-
moval OF the cause of It, But in any
event the suffering has been endured.
no matter whether the final termina-
ton is death or recovery.
No one is conscious Of or can recall
the moment he passes from waking in
70 natural or temporary sleep. Nor
shall we, by 4 supreme agony or in
any other way, be conscious Of passing
into permanent sleep.
Being born and dying are the two
most important physiological events in
the life history of our bodies. and we
shall know no more about the latter
event ut the time it occurs than we did
about the former.
