Transformstion of the Corpse Into n
Living Berg Watched Through Four
Stages of Minute Each.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-The Evening Jour.
nal to-day published an account OF case
of remarkable resuscitation from sup-
posed death of young married woman
named Mrs. Frazer. On July 30 last Mrs.
Frazer gave birth to a child. and in Au.
gust, after several days. illness, was pros
nounced dead by the attending physician.
Dr. Mark III. Lakersteen, who was also
attending Mrs. Frazer, says: sI
did everything L could think
OF to restore life without
effect. Ten minutes must have elapsed,
though at the time l was not in position
to watch the passage of time. Then it
suddenly struck me that would like to
try hypodermic injection OF this solution
OF nitro-glyceriDe. | took up ten draughts
OF 1t and let the corpse have the full bene-
fit nj it.
THE EFFECT.
1.-The first minute there was not a pub
sation, but just gasp. | looked at nv
watch and there were tour such gasps in
sixty seconds, but there was no life.
In the second minute there were elk res.
piranons and slight heart pulse could
be heard, but no pulse could be felt. In
the third minute there were eighteen res.
pirations and the pulse became distintly
perceptlble at the wrist. In the fourth
minute it was 1S0 and upward, so that ID
could not be counted. Her face flushed,
her eyes began to roll in their sockets, ali
the muscles relaxed from the extreme
stiffness OF death. All the contraction of
the limbs gradually relaxed and she be-
came conscious. In my opinion In all
cases OF shock or collapse this thing
ought to be tried before they are given
over for lost.
NOTHING SENSATIONAL.
"There 10 nothing peculiar or sensations
nj about it at all. The only thing is, have
been the first person to try it. One per
cent OF solution OF alcohol OF nitro-glv.
cerine is the remedy which for some littls
time has been used for epilepsy, and for
some forms Of kidney trouble also. Ithas
effect on the blood vessels. We give in
doses Of one drachm, a drop and a-half,
TWO drops, or may be three drops in SONS
cases. We give it through the mouth.

so far as ! am aware, until / made tha

of 1000 additional coke ovens. The COM
bined properties now have five furnaces

OF Commissioner Black ON the claim OF
Lila May Payy, widow of DIR. Octave
Pavy, late Acting Assistant Surgeon of

his contract for the third year, but would
serve without pay. A short time thereafter
Lieut.. Greedy placed him under arrest,

nation. While still under arrest and

tract ne died. The Commissioner of Pen

The major portion OF the contract had

the members struck a snag at the first
section defining the classes Of business
TO be embraced in the pool. Failing to
reach any unanimous conclusion, the

doubt as to whether the conflicting in
terests can be harmOnized.
