as quickly as possible, but immediately afterwards, two or
three seconds at most, the heart and pulse stopped simulta
-
neously. It was impossible to perform ordinary artificial respi
-
ration, as no air could be forced in or out of the lungs.
Post-mortem—Lungs engorged, right and left ventrical of heart
engorged, and distended with dark venous blood. Post-mortem.
appearances indicate death from asphyxia pure and simple.
Liver contained less blood than usual, and it did not flow in
section. Had Liebig's Extract of Meat as in the last case.
I (c).—Dogs kept fasting for 24 hours.
