That this may also be the fact 10 other
instances Of casualty, the following
statement from one ofthe last English
papers sufficiently proves:
IN instance Of Suspended .9nimotion-
"A labourer who had fallen from 4
scafiolding in England, was carried, APP
parently dead, to medical aid, and after
means had been applied without success
for his recovery, bis friends carried the
body home, with advice from the snr-A
geon to procure coffin. A more skill

cumstances, examined the body, and
found heat enough 10 convince him that
the vital spark was notified. He at 6rse

when two pounds were drawn, he res-
PRED almost naturally. Several hours
passed between the time Of his fall and
that of the operation which restored q
fellow being to life. |, occurred to the
surgeon at the time, land which be-
found in another similar case, that the
blood re mains in the arterial system, in
warm fluid state, after the superveins
become nearly empty; and what re-
mains in them is partly concealed from
losing its free caloric; also, that the ar.
ties retained the elasticities and vital
properties considerable time after tha
veins have lost their little contractile
power necessary to carry on the cir<'
