with the other dead, in the same
grave. Recovering his senses to-
ward eleven o'clock at night, he tore
open his winding sheet, made his
way to his house, knocked at the
door, which was not opened to him
without some difficulty, and took new
possession of his lodgings.
At the close of the last century a
woman in Paris was thought to be
dead, and the body was put on some
new straw with taper at the feet.
Some young men who sat up with
the corpse in frolic overturned the
taper. This set the straw on fire
the deceased, whose body the flames
had now reached, shrieked. Timely
assistance was rendered, and she SO
well recovered that after her resur-
rection she became the mother OF
several children.
/ On the 21st of November, 1868,
the Able Erevot, well known for his
literary productions, was taken with
all apoplectic fit as he was travelling
through the forests of Chantilly.
Being supposed dead, he was carried
to the house of the Mayor of the vii
lage, and the magistrate directed a
p0st mOrtem examination to be com
:nenced. A piercing shrek uttered
by the unfortunate man pro owed that
he was alive. He died under the
scalpel.
DIR. Daveux, a surgeon of St.
Come Hospital, Paris, had a
maid, a servant, who had been
brought to burial. She did not re-
cover her senses till they were low
ering the coffin into the grave. That
woman having died anew, the body
was kept six days, lest they should
have to bring her back fourth
time. ....izN
A Mr.. Rousseau, of Rouen, had
married lady of fourteen, whom he
left in perfect health, after starting
on a short journey. After a few
days he heard that unless he re
turned Immediately, he would find
his wife buried. On reaching home
he saw the funeral already. In an
agony of grief he had the coffin re-
moved to his room and unscrewed.
He placed the body on bed, and
ordered twenty five missions to be
made OH it. At the twenty-ffth,
probably deeper than the others, the
deceased exclaimed, "How severely
you hurt mel" Medical assistance
was Immediately given. The lady
had afterwards six children.
The wife of Mr.. Duhamel, a cele-
brated lawyer, having been supposed
dead twenty-four hours, the body was
placed on a table for the purpose of
preparing it for burial Her husband
strongly opposed it, not believing
her dead. To ascertain it, knowing
that she was very fond of the Gym
bal and the tunes which cymbal
players sing, he called one. On
hearing the instrument and the voice,
the deceased recovered motion and
speech, and survived her apparent
death forty days,
Andre Vesale, physician to Charles
V. and Philip H., after attending a
Spanish grandee, thought him dead.
Having obtained leave to examine
the body, he had scarcely opened
the chest when he perceived the
heart palpitated. The relatives Of
the deceased prosecuted him as guilty
of murder-the inquisitor as guilty
of profaneness. Through the inter-
cession Of the King be was sent on
a pilgrimage TO the Holy Land, and
thus escaped death
In the sitting of the Royal Acade-
my, of Medicine, in 1928, a paper
was read by Mr.. Chauncpy Cbatour,
nellie on the dangers of hasty inhu
nations. This led to discussion,
in which Mr.. Desgenuetta stated
that he had heard from Mr.. Thouro'.
who had superintendent the human
remains of the cemetery and the
Charnri house des Innocens, that
many skeletons had been found in
positions showing that the individn-
ais had moved liz their collins. Mr..
Thoufot was so much struck with
revelation that he caused clause to
be inserted in his will respecting bis
own intertnent.
