Chapter 95: 10. _Ibid._—Hindoo man, age 20. Dead seven days; much decomposition
and discoloration. Wrists and ankles were bound. The two corners at one
end of a cotton _lungi_ (turban) were passed one on each side of the
neck and fastened in a knot under left angle of jaw. The _lungi_ was
then passed around the body under the arms, etc., so as to draw upon
the neck and be buried deeply in the swollen flesh. Under the bands
the skin was blanched; the tissues above the bands were black and much
swollen. Lungs, larynx, and trachea much congested. Heart empty.
