Science Regards Man As An Aggregation Of Atoms Temporarily United By A Mysterious Force Called The Life-principle. To The Materialist The Only Difference Between A Living And A Dead Body Is, That In The One Case That Force Is Active, In The Other Latent. When It Is Extinct Or Entirely Latent, The Molecules Obey A Superior Attraction, Which Draws Them Asunder And Scatters Them Through Space. This Dispersion Must Be Death, If It Is Possible To Conceive Such A Thing As Death Where The Very Molecules Of The Dead Body Manifest An Intense Vital Energy.
