    Morgan's Improvements in Embalming Bodies and Curing Carcases. according to circumstances, and the fluids may be used either separately or as auxiliary to other processes now in use. Having now described and particularly ascertained the nature of my Inven¬ tion, and the manner in which the same is used or carried into effect, I would observe in conclusion that what I consider to be novel and original, and 5 therefore claim as the Invention secured to me by the herein-before in part recited Letters Patent is, the embalming or preserving of human bodies, and the preserving, pickling, curing, medicating, and flavoring of animal bodies generally by forcing or injecting preservative or antiseptic fluids through the natural channels of the circulation of the blood, as herein-before described. 10 In witness whereof, I, the said John Morgan, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Eleventh day of August, One thousand eight hundred and sixty-three.
