taking the Dead For the Living.
t
Two teeent eases of lather ric sleep in
--Paris, both of which narrowly and by a
. mere accident •eecaped pre= tire burial,
have induced the Parieian ledical col-
lege to repeat the offer 'mule some years
ago of 'a prize 'of considera le value to
any oiu4 wieo will discover an unmistaka-
ble test of death, which is vident and
• practielible to the most in xperienced
person.
Medical men doubt if thi prize will
ever be awarded, for they se*, with reit-
son, that it is with deathen svitli dis-
ease—one cannot come to a d •cision with
any- certainty without a comilete exami-
nation Of the whole organism
Exce t the abdominal discoloration,
the ap enranee of which it winter is
!retitle' tly much retarded, th we is noth-
- lug in he actual state of den h which is
not clo .ely simulated in the state of cer-
tain cases of lethargic sleep.
Without appreciable otitis the body
beconnis cold, the pulsations if the heart
imperceptible, the respirat ry - organs
cease o inflate the throat, he face is
pale aj: d the pupil of the eye fixed, as in
actual death. -
This being the case, many ervons per-
sons are incessantly tormen ed by the
fear of being buried alive.
No doubt some terrible nu takes have
'been Made, most -frequently in countries
where 'the law obliges the sp edy burial
of the ;dead, as in Italy, wh n the body
is consigned to the grave 24 ours after
death and before certain signs have had
full time to manifest themsel 'es. ,
,
Uncpikstionably danger lies in the im-
mediate embalmment, whics would at
once destroy any latent spa Is of life.
For this reason the French fedi-cal col-
lege -desires some infallible test which
can bel put into practice. him diately on
the apPearance of death. Re ardiiig thin
a prominent physician says:
"With the present advanced knowledge
of the diseases of the nery na system,
a mistake should be impossi le, and it
may be as positively asserte that suffi-
ciently evident signs do exist and with
proper precaution no one nee fear that
he ma* one day find himself alive in a
coffin.
"One of the first signs of dissolution
Is the cessation of the cardiai pulsation,
and it 'has been established that whea
the central organ has ceased to operate
for 20 minutes at the most life is ex.
tinct.
"It is well to know that ithout en-
tirely ceasing the heart beat can be so
excessively weak that it can ot be de-
tected by the ear. .
"Circulation Is suspended he instant
the heart's action is stilled. a id any one
caul ascertain this fact by a ery simple
experiment. .
"If on a living pereon's fing r we tight-
ly tie a piece of string betwe al the la.st
joint and the johtt of artie latioa, the
upper joint becomes rapidly violet, but
this is not the case with th dead, for
the whole finger retains its li id color.
"There are three other henomena
which occur speedily after eath—viz,
dilation of the pupil, the gla sy appear-
ance of the eye and the softe ling of the
eyeball. -
"The dilation of the pupil i a difficult
'observation for persons Un R CC stoneed to
such an examinatiOn. Furthe more, it is
transient, and the l very fact af opening
the eye to make the observation may
obliterate the dilation.
"No one, however, who has ver watch-
ed the light of life fade and disappear
forever from the eyes of NOM loved ene
can fail t� underetand the t rrible sig-
nificance of this last phenNne on. .
"It is a general rule that fter death
the body becomes cold, but to this there
are certain exceptiefte, for n tetariun
(lockjaw), cholera and - typlin the tem-
perature may rise many (leg ees during
the first few hours that faille death.
"Be that as it may';; if the e ntral heat
does not rise above 20 degree it is cer-
tain that life is extinet. ..
"The rigidity of the body p educed by
the coagulation of, the conte ts of tlie
,muscular' fiber, commencing i the jaw
and neck and pervading the hole body
in variable order, presumes de th.
"As every one knows, in t e case of
hunted animals rigidity appea s quickly.
Tho same detail has frequentl been ob-
eerved in the field of battle, when the
.bodies of soldiers who have een killed
in the heat of the fight retain the exact
position they had during the c mbat, the
face expressing enthUsiaom or terror.
"A singular case is cited uring' the
Franco-Prussian war in 1871. An un-
fortunate guard mobile was • ecanitated
by a cannon ball while he w s drinking
from 10 Panakin.
"Some hours afterward, wh n the slir-
geons were going over the fiel of battle,
they folind the body in .pr chicly the
same ppsition, the hand . h dding the
panakin to the height of t e absent
mouth, I
"Equally strange was the sight of the
headless body of Major Nolan—whiese
enigmatic and impatient mess tge caused
the immortal ehaige of the Li ht brigade
at Balaklava—riding erect in is saddle,
with his sword s retched aloft for 30 or
40 yards.
"I hardly thin it necesear to com-
ment on the test which consi t of plac-
ing a mirror be ore the mo th of the
dead elor of the tiring by re c hot irons.
The one infallibl and unmist kable sign
is the blue green tint -which s ows Itself
generally ou the •ight side of the abdo-
tnen, and when -this comes we ay safely
lay -our dead one to rest in t e full con-
viction that they are sleeping their last
sleep, for, althou h it is possi le in some
cases to mistake he living fo the dead,
there is but littl chance of mistaking
the dead for the iving."
