BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH.
In an Experiment Witnessed by Montana Ply.
sician Tie Sees Life Restored Temporarily.

NcWb
DR.. Soren Christensen, of Missoula,
Mont, was in Minneapolis on the 18th
inst, on his way home after two
months visit in Denmark. DIR. Chris
tiansen was present at remarkable
attempt to bring back to life a man
who had died in hospital at Naest-
we'd, Denmark, two weeks ago. The
experiment was measurably success
full, as resuscitation was effected seve-
raj hours after the man was pro.
nounced dead. DR.. Mag, who was in
charge, was unable to maintain life,
however.
The patient had died from typhoid
fever and DR.. Mag decided to try an
experiment. Respiration had ceased
completely and the body was cold.
Direct massage of the heart was re-
sorted to. The chest was cut open di-
rectly over the heart, and through the
incision the physician passed his hand
and seized the heart. He commenced
series OF compressions, and in short
time the heart commenced to work OF
its own accord. The action of the
heart gradually became stronger. but
the man had not commenced to
breathe. Only after the heart had
been acting half an hour did the first
gasp for air come.
The patient was then assisted in
this for about an hour until finally he
was able to breathe quite freely. At
the same time his cheeks began to as.
sumo natural color. He lay in this
condition another half hour, but with
out regaining consciousness or appear
ing to feel the effects of the incision.
Then there was a reaction and respira.
ton ceased, although the heart con-
tinued to act eight hours longer. A
second effort was made to induce
heart action. but without result.

Sparrow Commits Suicide.

Two English sparrows were found
dead side by side in field, near
Smith Pond, Cherry Valley, Mass, by
a party of gunners. One Of the birds
had been dead for some time but the
other expired while the hunters were
within eyesight. The attention of
the men was attracted by the distress
ing cries of the second bird which was
on the shore of the pond. The men
drew nearer and watched. The spar.
row was seen to put its head under
water and allow it to remain there for
time. 1t repeated this ducking sew
eral times at short intervals.
The last time the sparrow's head re-
manned under water longer than be-
fore and the men drew closer only to
find that the bird had hoped to the
side OF its mate and lay there expir.
ing. The hunters said it was clear
case of suicide. They are men of wide
experience in field and forest, and in
all their trips they said they had
never seen bird show such attach
ment as was disclosed by the sparrow
which died of its own desire.

Cudahy from his chains and said:
ave are going to take you home"
Then they led him to a hack. He
was driven rapidly through darkness
to Thirty-scvcnth and Leaycnworth
streets, where he was allowed to leave
the carriage. From there he walked
home, arriving there shortly after l
o'clock in the morning. The bandits
made no explanation to him why the y
gave him his freedom.
The boy says that one of the rob-
bers said to him: "What we really
wanted was to get one of the little
girls-your sisters-but we did not
get chance. Finally we became
desperate and determined to take the
bull by the horns and nab you"
1t is stated that Pat Grove,
we'll known to the local police circles
is the man whom the police suspect OF
being the leader of the gang who alb
dncted young Edward Cudahy. Of
ticers in citizens clothing are looking
for Grove, but so far he has not been
arrested.
The police and detectives who are
working on the matter are inclined to
believe that only men who were we'll
acquainted with the city and sur.
rounding country would have been
able to manage the affair as it was
carried on. For this reason they are
searching for several local men who
are known to bear bad reputation.
An extra force Of Pinkertons are at
work on the case. The only clue they
have to work on at present is copy
of the letter thrown on Mr.. Cudahy's
lawn naming what hour that the boy
would be returned home. The original
copy was returned with the money,
this being one of the conditions de.
mann ed by the desperadoes.

REMEDY FOR CONSERVATIVES.

DIR. Hof, distinguished physician
of Vienna, has made public prescrip-
ton or formula which he has found,
by long investigation and experience,
to be remedy for consumption, DR..
Hoff is not a quack or patent medi-
cine man, but professor of medicine
and an eminent authority in the scien-
tific world, and he proves his disinter-
ested devotion to his noble calling by
making his discovery known to the
world without money and without
price. Should his remedy prove effec-
tive in even a small percentage of
cases it would be well worth a trial.
The doctor gave his formula recently
to the Central News agency for publi-
cation. 1t is as follows:
Acid. arsenic. Il.
kal. carbon. dep. -.
" Acid. cinnamylic. 3.
Aqua destill. 4.
Goque us4ue dd perfectam sofution-
ON; deinde adde cognac 2.5.
Extr. laudan. aqua. 3.
"Quod in aqua destill. 2.5.
Solutum ct deinde tiltratum fuit."
Translated into English this means ::
. Arsenic acid l part; carbonate of
potash 2 parts; cinnamylic acid 3
parts and distilled water 4 parts.
Heat until perfect solution is OBJ
tanned, then add 2.5 parts OF cognac
and 3 parts of watery extract OF opium
which has been dissolved in 90 parts
Of water and filtered"
DR.. Hoff gives the following direc-
tions for using: AT first take six
drops after dinner and supper, grad
ually increasing to twenty-five drops.
1t is absolutely necessary that the So
luton should be taken after eating
when the stomach is full. The treat
ment must not be forced by increasing
the doses. AS long as the patient
shows signs of improvement the dose
should not be increased. 1t is some-
times beneficial to reduce the DOSE"
The remedy has been tried by DR..
Hoff on 200 patients OF the poorer
class who had been long under obser-
vation. Mild cases were quickly cured,
and partial cures were soon brought
about in severer cases. The appetite
and weight were increased steadily,
the fever lowered, night sweats, in
somnia and asthmatic symptoms les
sened, cough decreased and rattle
stopped. The patients were asked
only to keep the kidneys in order.
The duration OF the treatment, DR..
Hoff says. depends entirely upon the
condition of the patient. Mild cases
have been cured in two months, but
more severe have required year or
two. The doctor does not claim for
the solution the power of a magic
wand, which cures at touch, but says
that one of his patients had cavities
in the lungs big enough to put ones
fists into, yet he was cured in about
two years.
The discovery of a cure for the
dread malsdy which annually carries
off more victims than any other dis
ease is most devoutly to be hoped for.
Should DR.. Hotf's prescription prove
effectual, he will be entitled to the
grateful thanks of the entire world.
