SURE SIGNS OF DEATH.
eunkSa by TheN. There Is Little Dan

GunRa by Then. There Is Little Dan
- 7 ger Of Premature Burial
There is widespread belief among
educated persons that burial while
still alive is. though not probable, at
least possible. AS evidence of this be-
liaf one has but to notice how many
persons leave instructions in their wills
for the taking of special precautions
to guard against this most dreadful OF
catastrophies.
When embalming takes place, OF
course, there is no possibility Of being
buried alive, yet being killed by EN-
ba - fluid instead of being allowed
to fAiye and spend many more years
on edrth is not the fate one would SCI
lect.
Although there is but one infallible
sign Of death-namely, putrefaction4
yet there are many other signs, no one
Of which is incontrovertible, yet that

sis absolutely sure.
The heart may stop beating, but this
does not necessarily mean that the pa
tent is dead. The writer recalls 4
case in his personal observation when
a woman's heart stopped beating thir.
ty-four times in twelve hours and each
time was started up again by injec'
lions Of brandy and Of nitroglycerin
That is more than six years ago, and
the woman is alive and strong today.
It is often very difficult to tell the
precise moment Of death, but wher
the heart refuses to respond to stimu
lation, when the body becomes rigid
when the blood coagulates and the eye
balls become haevid and lose their ten
