About Dying. Demorest’s Menthly. When one is still young and in health it is natural that death should be an object of fear, but it is not true that those whe are very sick fear the end. Dr. Griswold, an eminent physician, who has seen many death- beds declares that the dying do not fear death, but rather desire it.” To pass away when the time comes 1sin the order of nature, and we all sub- mit to the inevitable without a mur- mur. Nor is it true that death is at- tended with any superstitious terrors for strangely enough, all physicians agree that the dying think of the past not the future. Death itself is not painful; there is no pang of mental agony except incase of wounds or premature death. There is often terrible suffering trom disease, but arelef.
