Show Afraid of Iloing Buried Alive. I for one nm not at all surprised at the rather startling instructions in the will of the late Duchess Pozzo de Borgo that in order to make quite sure of her death her heart should be removed from the body. The dread of being buried alive in a condition of trance or coma is spreading curiously, and I have heard quite a number of people express a desire de-sire to be cremated, not upon hygienic grounds, bnt simply through a horror of being buried alive. The supposed necessity neces-sity of such strong measures is not very flattering to the doctors, but that it is a growing idea is obvious. Lady's Pictorial. |
