Tells Of "MummIfication"

TO The Editor Of 'he EipnsrO Ppbic L,dger
:, slr-ln your article upon the alleged

ing August 10, ! am quoted rs saving
that There huV" been various theories
advanced as to the means ~ nunluiN

that the exact preparation OF the .upo-

natron bath, al the expiration OF which
time the body was wrapped in linen

the process of mummification was one
