Jesus from Galilee until the end assisted in

the Egyptian method of removing the en-

was not done.
1t seems more likely that these spices

The second thought: II YOU

The cause of nausea Is not
always evident. Often this COM
nom symptom becomes a diff
cult problem for US doctors to
solve.
For example, consider the
patient that I saw with a col
league last week. She is a woman
who looks young for her IS years.
Unfortunately she has more spirit
than she has physical drive. Very
active in business and community
affairs until one year ago. she
was a bundle Of vitality until
she suffered an attack of cor
onary thrombosis. q think it
might be well to remind you, that
although this disease has a pre-
deliction for men. the female Of
the species is no stranger to cor

She was incapacitated for
about three months, then re-
turned to manage a large busi-
ness downtown. Unfortunately,
she became too active and over
strained an already weak heart.
Her legs became edematous
twater-logged) and the doctors
prescribed digitalis and mer-
curials. Her legs thinned down
to normal and her breathing
improved.
New symptoms Appear
About a month ago a new
symptom appeared: Nausea. She
developed a distaste for all food.
The nausea was severe enough to
disturb her sleep at night. Al
though her urine was negative
for sugar. her doctor had wisely
iordered a fasting blood sugar a
few days ago. This showed up
as 200 mgm per 100 &C (Which
all my readers with any knowl-
edge Of the condition will i'm
mediately recognize as diabetes)
Her pulse was weak, her skin
was dry and she had the sweet
breath" of acidosis which is usual
lin unrecognized diabetes. I have
given you the problem. I have
taken you behind the scenes to
show you how an ordinary symp-
tom like nausea can make us
doctors scratch our heads.
Here are two leads as 70 the
probable cause: Too much

Were these the only possibilities?
How about nausea due to gastric

and embalming of the dead even on the
Sabbath, according to the Talmud.
So, even if the six blasts on the silver
trumpet had already announced the holy
day, the disciples were at liberty to finish
their pious work.
We are told that Joseph of Arimathea had
new grave close by which had never been
used
The grave would be of the type usual in
Palestine, similar to that from which
Lazarus arose.
There would be two chambers followed
out of the rock. the first kind of vestibule
with a door at the end opening into the
tomb proper. This would be almost square,
just about two yards each way, and against
ton of the corpse.
The tomb was closed by a very heavy
stone, something like milestone, which
rolled up to the sloping recess of the outer
chamber where it was held by wedge.
If this were removed the stone would
roll forward, blocking the entrance to the
tomb itself
Traditional Site Marked
The traditional site Of the sepulcher itself
is in the chancel of the basilica to which it
has given its name. This impressive monu-
ment, first built by the Empress Helena,
demolished several times and rebuilt again
and again, is an imposing building of
hybrid style with something barbaric
about it.
A reddish light CLOVIS from the high
vaulted roof; a circle of massive black
columns, which acquire bizarre iridescence
from hundreds of lamps surround circular
monument, flanked with lamps, chandeliers
and enormous candles
It's surface is completely covered by icons
gliding and ex-voto tablets. 1t is raised
upon three basalt steps.
The actual funeral chamber is now
chapel and only priests, duly vested in their
sacerdotal robes, may enter. Thousands Of
candles burn around it and the heat and
the smell are almost overpowering.
