GRUESOME CUSTOM.
“POST-MORTEM CLUB.” CHICAGO, Aug. 3. Nine men and women, members of the “Post-mortem Club,” had breakfast with the skeleton of the founder of the club, Mr J. M. McArdou, late of Florida, in the chair as toastmaster. Each willed his or her body to the club in the interests of “naprapathy” which is based on the theory that paralysis is traced to ligatites or shrunken ligaments of the spine.
