STATEMENT BY DIR. TUFFIER.
1t is quite true that we recently re-
stored to life dead man. 1t is also
true that we have restored to life fifty
arimals.
All biologists now admit that dead
animals can be brought back to life.
This has been demonstrated over and
over. Why, therefore, cannot the same
be done for man? Death is merely the
arrest of circulation and respiration.
If this arrest be due to a mechanical
accident, it is obvious that the obsta-
Gle can be overcome by putting the
machinery of life again in motion. If a
physician happen to be at hand at the
moment when the circulation stops,
resuscitation is not difficult This re-
suscitation is well known to be often
accomplished in, the case of people who
have been drowned or poisoned by
gas. or who have received Q severe

L can restore to life almost any dead
man whose heart is sound and who is

after death.
l make an incision In his breast take
his heart In my fingers, and by a Sc
res OF delicate manipulations restore
the circulation Of the blood and bring
the dead man to life again. The circu.
latlon becomes quite normal after this
operation.
Nothing could be clearer than the
case of the young man whom we re-
stored to life recently at the HOSPITAL

1ologlcal question to my class of some
Icrty students when an attendant
rushed into the lecture hall and told
me that a young man had died sud-
denly In another part of the hospital

man had died of appendicitis. He was
oead beyond all possibility of doubt.
In the presence Of my assistant. DR.
Dumont, and Of all my pupils I cut the
mans side open and pressed his heart

ton that has never before been at
tempted upon man.
He laid bare with a stroke of his
scalper the tissues everything the fifth
and sixth ribs of the left side. His as
s1stants applied tenacula-tWo-prong
hooks for drawing membranes aside
from the field of peration-and pulled
the heshy covering of the bones to one
SIDE . a.
The surgeon picked up a small saw
and severed the bony part of the two
ribs; heavy pair roficutting pliers per-
formed the same work on the carti-
laglnous portions, the scalpel passed
quickly around the freed ends and the
liberated piece was lifted from the cav
ity & :af
Thus there was made a gateway to
the very center of life With curved
scissors DR.. Tuffier incised the pleural
cavity and there lay beneath his hand
the surface of the lower lobe of the left
lung. A little higher up and to the left
could be seen the apex of the heart.
There was no movement in the heart
none in the lungs. Many a small vein
had been severed by the knife and
scissors Of the surgeon but no blood
had flowed. There had been slight
oozing of reddened lymph, but there
was none OF that sharp quick squirt of
red blood that fellows the knife in it's
track through living tissue
You see, gentlemen" said Dr. Tuf-
fer, the condition Of both heart and
lungs shows that the subject is dead"
While he talked, and as the pupils
looked, Dr. Tuffier, with a handful of
little tweeZers, was busy about the
wound in the patients side. A series
Of short clicks followed his deft hands
and, as he brought them away. it was
seen that to the end of every small
vein there hung q little pair of hemos
tatic forceps which should check any
flow of blood
1t had taken minute or two to do
these things, but there was no move
ment from the body under the sur
geon's hands. The eyes were half OPEN
ed, but watching student had failed
to detect any change in the pupils from
the first touch of the knife until the
last.
Undoubtedly the man is dead" thew
said to one another.
DR.. Tuffier withdrew his right hand
from a basin Of Hot water which a
nurse held to hiin.S
The water is the temperature of the
human body in health" he told those
who watched.
Then, palm Upward, he thrust his
of the lung aside and grasped the still
ed heart of the body.
The surgeons snhdfb rested upon the
right ventricle, the other fingers of his
hand had sought and found the base
of the right auricle.
ITO you who, haye followed the lee
lures Of the classes it is but necessary
to suggest the purpose of this" said
DR.. Tuffier. as he, paused an Instant.
From the right auricle,. on which my
fingers rest, the blood, during life,
passes to the right ventricle, upon
which my thumb is placed Thence it
is borne to the pulmonary artery into
the lungs The blood, arterialized by
the lungs, is returned to the left side
of the heart by the pulmonary veins
into the left ventricle, and is thence
distributed by the aorta and it's trib-
utaries to every part Of the body.

PARIS, March IA dead man has
been brought to life in this city. 1t was
done by surgery and mechanical
means.
The man who performed the opera
t1on is DR.. Tuffier, of the Hopital de la
Pltle. In statement written by him
for the Sunday Journal, he explains ex-
actly how he did it. He further an

MI. Tufher manipulates the heart of

mad previously accomplished this sue
cessfully with numbers of warm blood
ed animals. Associated with him in
these experiments are his assistant, DR..
Dulmont, and-Dr Hallion, of the College
de France. They state that they have
restored life to fifty animals.
Recently DR.. Tuffier was lecturing in
the Hop1tal de la Pitie when word was

Conflict Between the Politicians
May Result in Open Rupture.
MADRID, March 11.--A former cabi-
net minister says that the past week
has seen an endeavor to arrange a mar
riage between one of the sisters of the
young king Of Spain and Don Jaime,
son of Don Carlos, the object, of course,
being to bury the enmity of the pre-
tender in an alliance with the reigning
branch of his house. While, to be
sure" he said, 1.-The attempt is as i'm
possible as it is absurd, yet it is sig
nificant that two members of the Sill
vela ministry are responsible for the
endeaVor. This new cabinet is half
Carlist, anyway. 1t is called the 'Vati-
briquet, forgetting that the Liberal
government fell chiefly through the pal
ace intrigues of the Jesuits.
The friends of Sagasta and the Re-
publicans have tried to agitate the peo-
pie against the new government, but
they seem, on the whole, to have failed
of their purpose. Yet the approaching
election will be most exciting"
With the approach of the parliament
tary elections the various factions In
the various parties are rearranging
their allegiance, while the new cabinet
suffers as much from dissension within
as from hostility without. The conflict
between Premier Silvela and Gen. Pola-
vieja, his minister of war, grows f1ercer
every day and may at any moment
burst out into open rupture. AS for
the general lines on which the fight at
the polls will be drawn, it seems now
as if clericalism would be singled out
for attack.

CURES WITHOUT PAIN.
One of the Best Features of the New
Pile Cure.

fiEe Ourc.
The Pyramid Pile Cure cures all
forms of piles without one particle Of
pain. This desirable point is not OBJ
tanned by the use of injurious opiates
which simply deaden and paralyze the
nerves of the parts and make matters
worse in the long run. But 1t is done
solely by it's remarkable healing and
soothing effects.
And while 1t thus gives immediate te
relief, at the same time the disease Is
not merely checked, but a radical cure
Is rapidly accomplished.
And the point we want to make clear
is that all this is done without a parti-
Gle of pain.
This fact is one great reason for the
popularity of the Pyramid Pile Cure, and
constitutes one very great difference
between 1t and almost any other kind
of treatment for piles.
Every kind Of surgical operation for
piles is eXcruciatingly painful, besides
endangering the life Of the patient.
and in most cases. is not not to be
compared with the Pyramid Cure,
neither in making successful cures
without pain nor in cheapness and
safety.
The Pyramid Pile Cure has been be-
fore the public so long, and its merits
recognized by too many people to al
low 1t to be classed with the many
salves, suppositories. pills, etc, and
you run no risk in trying 1t, as is often
the case with untried preparations.
If you are ever troubled with any
form of piles or rectal disease do not
forget the Pyramid Pile Cure. Prepar-
ed by the Pyramid Drug Co.; of Mar
shall, Mich, and sold by druggists al

NEW YORK, March 6-The thing
does not seem to me to be possible
When a man is really dead l do not
thlnk he can be recalled to life by any
means whatsoever. In the case of sus-
pended animation 1t is quite another
affair. To say that a man dies be-
cause his heart has stopped beating
is putting the cart before the horse.
The fact is that the heart stops it's ac-
ton because the man is dead. The
centre of life is in the brain: not in
the heart
The surgical procedure does not seem
to be out of the way. The heart can
be handled to certain extent without
doing any harm to the organ. To saw
that dead man has been restored to
life seems to me to be too radical.
Until further details are given it is
practically impossible to discuss the
statement. I think that life was mere

a case of suspended animation, moth
