TO THE EDITOR OF MONA’S HERALD.
SIR, – Although I do not object to every precuation being taken against the disorder at present prevalent in this town, I certainly wish to suggest that some means should be taken to ascertain that life had departed from bodies before they were interred. Within the last few days burial has so rapidly followed death, (or apparent death) that it is rather doubtful that life had absolutely departed! I do not mean to impute any want of attention to the medical attendants, but as sush a prejudice as the above is rapidly spreading, I think it becomes them to convince the public by some means, that their friends are not buried alive.
Yours, &c.
ASMODEUS
