From 4 late Lo^on Paper.,
fol lowing account may be depended on
as a faa, and fufiickmly argues thecau
tian with which we Should avoid hurry
ing from the bed to the grave perlons
who, though apparently dead, need only
a little care to be restored to health.
'< q,HE late Sir Hugh Ackland, ofDe
[ vonfhire, apparently died ofafever,
and was laid out as dead: the nurte, with
• wo <4 the footmen, fat up with the corpse.
i^n Ackland sent them a bottle of brandy
co ri ' ; k in the night : One of the servant;
be ^ an arch rogue, told the other that his
m^er 1 v A brandy when he was alive; and
A . in ,bn reiolved be fail drink one glass
^f w n^w he is dead. The fellow accord
h poured out a bumper of brandy and
i td ^ his throat, a guggling imme
u : ensued, and a violent motion of the
th < .and upper part of the breast. The other
1 , .an ?-,<• the i),o:ic were so terrified, that
7 er an d^n (fairs, and the brandy genius,
(running a^y with rather too much speed,
tumbled down Itairs head foremoil. The
ond d the tall, and his cries, alarmed a
oengnrAleman tfai flcpr in the house that
r:,', who got up, and went to the room
Wil re the cprpfe lay, and, to his great fur
p??e, fw Sir Hugh fitting upright :He
ca led he servants ; Sir Hugh was put into
a w rr i bed, and the pryficiau and apotheca
ry ^t fort for : Thefc , nclamtn in a few
wbs p.fedly restored their patient to
, 'drk, u! d he lived several years after.---
The above is well known to the Devenlhire
p:opU, as in moil companies Sir Hugh uled
to ill thi^ strange circumstance, and talk of
his refurre^ion by his brandy lootman, to
v? m (when he ready died) he left a hand
