APPROACH OF DEATH PAi::LEs3.
1t Comes as Naturally and Is as r!cl-
come as Sleep.

The fear Of death. which has boon
so enormously exploited in dr@natic
literature. sacred ard otherwise. is said
to be almost without existence in sick
ness. Most patients have lost it COM
pletely by the time they become seri-
ously ILL.,
Death and steep are both nuiniess.
according to DR.. Woods Hutchinson in
the American Magazine, and cause
neither fear nor anxiety by their ap-
proach. II is one Of the most mercifu
things in nature that the ovcrwhelm-
ing majority Of the poisons which de-
stroy life, whether they are these Of in
fectious diseases or tEcs, which are
elaborated from the body's own waste
products, act as narcotics and abolish
consciousness long before the end
comes.
While death is not in any sense
analogous to sleep, 1t resembles it 10
the extent that it is in the vast ma
Jority of instances not only NOT rain
full but welcome. Pain rackcd and
fever scorched patients long for death
as the wearied toiler longs for sleep.
While many of the prOcesse@ which
lead to death are painful, death itself
Is painless, natural, like the fading of
flower or the falling Of a leaf Our
dear ones drift out on the ebbinm tide
OF life without fear without pain,
without regret, save for those they
leave behind. When death comes
close enough so that we can see the
eyes behind the mask his face becomes
as welcome as that Cf his Twin
