The Art of Dying

FRENCH author Able Brugette, has issued volume
"A the art Of dying.

to find with it.
In the first place. should write about the Of
anything unless he has pracced at least to extent
Unless the Able Brugee is the rencarnaon Of Lazarus
or some other dead man, do not understand how he
could have gone through the experience.
The question remains whether dying is art at all.
In the heater and the novel is art perhaps, for
much depends upon the way it is carried out Also the
historian has to deal with death in artistic way.
But in real life, dying is matter Of improvisation and
no amount of learning render perfect at it, 1t is
usually very dsagreeable and sometimes very anguish
ing performance 1t be disguised good deal for the
sake of the people around but nothing conceal the fact
from ones self.
It is much important to write upon the art OF
living which difficult matter which has been tried
many times upon which have abundant experiment. and
which remains mystery.
Dying simply quitting the business Of living It is
the end Of e its conclusion and knows how to live
well the dying will take Of itself.
Perhaps however, the of living and the art Of dying
is exactly the same thing
If one believes the future life there is art in dying
except the of preparing for future existence and the
best way for the future to improve the present
The conclusion reached by who does not believe
in the future life Often religion of value to only
it increases the importance and induces to accept the
responsibilities of this life religion that looks wholly
beyond the grave is Of little value to the living

GARRETT P. SERVISS ON MANS
CONQUEST OF DISEASE
Public Hygiene Plus incubation, Has Greatly
Reduced Incidence of Typhoid Fever.

millions, there were only $500
cases and 266 deaths"
Many persons do not yet un-
derstand the modus operandi o.
the incubation method. Sir David
Bruce describes it with uncommon
clearness. Consider what takes
place in a mans body when the
typhoid bacillus attacks him.
The bacillus gives rise to poi
sons, or toxins, which cause the
fever and the other symptoms Of
the disease. But the cells and
tissues of the man are not pas
siVe under the attack. They Al
once begin to fight against the
infection by forming substances
in the blood to neutralize the tox-
ins, hence called antitoxins, or
antibodies, and their function is
finally to destroy the invading
germs. If the man RECEIVERS he
is immune from further attack
by the presence Of these anti.
bodies in his blood. He has be.
come immune by passing through
an attack of the disease"
On this is founded the inocula-
ton method, which, speaking
broadly, means that you subject
a man to a mild attack Of the
fever in order that his blood and
tissues will respond to the stinu-
Jus by producing antibodies."
These antibodies are then ready
to defend him against q future
attack, which might be of fatal
intensity. The incubation germs
are obtained by passing the ty-
phoid bacillus through the body
Of some other animal, which
weakens their force, but does not
render them less efficient in call
ing forth antibodies of normal
strength.
