It is here the Preservative does its most thorough work, as, by keeping the cloths wet over the abdomen and stomach, the Preservative, to a very great extent, _permeates the whole body_, and is a valuable safeguard against bloating; and if bloating has not already commenced, it will never make its appearance after you commence to use the Preservative as above directed, and in very many cases it has been known to arrest and reduce bloating by its use as directed. As much depends upon absorption, the more of the Preservative there is applied externally, as above directed, the better results there will be obtained. The face, neck, ears and hands should be well bathed with the Preservative, using the brush for this purpose, and if the ears have turned black you can remove the color in five minutes by keeping them wet with the Preservative, and pressing or squeezing them with your hand, and it is always well to do this when they have turned very dark. However, the cloths that you have before been instructed to wet with the Preservative and lay over the face, neck and hands, will effectually remove all discoloration or prevent its appearance. These cloths should be well pressed down around the eyes, nose, neck and ears, so as to be sure that the cloths touch every spot. The cloths can be kept moist by applying a little of the Preservative from time to time, without removing the cloths to wet them. These cloths should be kept on from ten to twelve hours, after which they can be removed through the day and replaced through the night. If this process is kept up there will be a natural and life-like appearance preserved, without the least discoloration, and the face will look better at the end of the third or fourth day, or even a week, than it did at death. In the FREE USE of this Preservative, the longer you keep a body the better it will look. The use of the Preservative in this way will not only preserve the body, but will effectually purify and deodorize the room, driving away all offensive smell, however bad it might have been at first, and perfectly disinfecting the house of all possibility of contagion, thus insuring safety to yourself and preventing further spread of the disease in the family. This entire process will take less than thirty minutes of your time. The body should be kept in the inclined position from 20 to 30 hours, with the head at least twelve inches higher than the feet, (the easiest way to obtain this position is to drop the foot end of the board on the floor), at the end of which time it can be dressed and placed in the casket, but the dress should be left loose, so that the cloths over the chest and abdomen can be wet from time to time with the Preservative, as before directed, or you can insert the Gas-trocar through the clothing and inject the Preservative in on to the body and thus keep the cloths wet, and if kept in the casket over night, lower the foot end of it, as before directed.
