is a communicated account of case
of death and restoration which bor-
ders on the miraculous, and although
the residence of the man is not Civ
en- we infer that he is of that place.
Ii is asserted that one j. +. Munger,
who had been sufferer from rheu-
matism in the feet, applied tincture
of aconite "a deadly poison) TO them
rather literally and after that put
his feet in hot water which opened
the pores and allowed the poison to
enter the circulation. A short time
after taking the foot bath Mr.. NJ.
began to feel a tingling sensation
which soon spread through the whole
body. ellie became faint, the pulse
became weaker and slower, the skin
became cold, moist and clammy.
Their family physician, DR. Gasser,
was called in, who recognized acute
poisoning Immediately. In spite of
all the efforts to counteract the poi
son and keep up the hearts action,
it was gradually failing; he was tax
on with a spasm and expired. The
DR.. put his ear to his chest and
found that the heart had stopped
Teating, and a deathly pallor had sci
Ia. DIR. Buck came, in the near
time, and pronounced him dead, and
while his friends were mourning
over his loss, Dr. Gasser injected
with a hypodermic syringe some
/ brandy and digitalis close to the
heart and in about one or two min
utes, to the surprise of all, he took
a gasp for air, which was soon re-
peated Encouraged with prospect
of success, hypodermic injections
were given in rapid succession. He
improved every minute, although it
taxed the genius and resources of
the Doctor to pilot him again into
conscious and healthy life Mr..
Munger is now as well az usual. He
says he has no idea of anything that
transpired. 1t to him is all q total
