Itofnande contains an article by Drs.
F, Neville and ISA Itosse>tet on diffl-
eU1tles and errors in the, diagnosis of
the cause of death. The authors are
attached to the Medico -Legal Iuetitute
of Geneva, to which bodies are sent
Tor examination in cases, of doubt. In
Wise cases, it se ms, the 10'001 Swiss
doctor makes a diagnosis almost un
Cannily accurate In: others, he is
ridiculously wt'oug. Drs. Neville and
Ressele+ have examined the reports
on "natural -death" eases made in the
institute during the last two years,
and they record some remarkable find-
ings. Wo quote from an abstract in.
Tha British Medieval Journal (Lon-
don) its follows;
"Thus the Geneva police stopped the.
funeral: procession of a roan. stated to
have dyed of, tuberculosis heroptysis;
he had been murdered by a stab in
the back with a knifes A woman cer-
tified,:to have died from gastric ulcer
had been the victim of criminal abor-
tion. Another woman was found dead
in bed,supposed from natural
causesit was sup but whenl the nun who sat
up with the corpse the following night
was also found dead in the morning,
a little investigation, showed that both
woxttsn had died of carbon -monoxide'
poisoning.
"The necessity for completely strip-
ping and examining dead bodies is il-
lustrated by cases• in which razor
wounds of the throat were concealed
by scarfs around the neck. The auth-
ors describe the case of a healthy
young shepherd of twenty-cieht. cer-
tified as dying from natural causes.
Yet the autopsy showed a veritable
museum of inuries; fraoture of the
shill, three ribs, and a clavicle; tua-
matic hemovrhatres in the brain, the
liver, and the kidney. In another body
'dead from natural causes; with no le-
sion eistoelssoy, there was fracture of
the skull with a large cerebral hemor-

ACTION PROMISED
Premier. Forecasts Effort to
Put End to Communism
The disclosures at Sudbury have in-
spired Premier Ferguson to forecast
an organized effort on the part of the
Province o£ Ontario to put down com-
munistic propaganda. Premier Forgo;
son declared that the province as a
whole was deeply interested in the
outcome of the Sudbury case and
would take every means possible to
see that the offenders were brought
to justice. Ise intimated that he was
busy a the present time collecting cer-
tain information, and that when this
was available action would be taken.
The Premier recalled the incident
last Summer when the Royal Cana-
dian Mounted Police were called upon
to deal with the circulation of com-
munistic literature in the travelling
car schools. They had speedily put
an end to the practice and there had
been few complaints since that time,
