of actually raising the dead
The actual source of life has long
been thought to rest in the brain as tha
pulse of mental and nervous activity
rather than at the heart. the aterial TO-
Gus of the body. In fact 1t has actual
ly been demonstrated by science to be
so.
While Laborde has been making9ex-
periments of the most successful char
acter with the resuscitation of persons
in state of suspended animation by
means of the manipulation Of the
tongue, another noted specialist has
been working on the theory that it
might be possible to reach the most
delicate and sensitive point of the
brain through the aural nerves.
IL has, of course, long been known
that certain amount of breathing is
done by means of the ear through the
Eastaehian tube, fact very plainly
demonstrated by the trick of the clever
cigaret smoker, who by what is known
as inhalition passes the smoke which
he has apparently swallowed, out
through his ears instead of through his
mouth or nostrils.
The most acute perceptions of the
ward, are through the nasal cavaties.

made with the numerous delicately
constructed instruments used for
measuring the senses of smell, hear
ing, taste and respiration of children

which promise to far out-distancer the
already remarkable ones of Laborde.

it consists Of Introducing by means of

to pass to reach the coarser organs.
1T is believed that many cases CT
sudden death are improperly diagnosed,
tnv.
of instances the alleged death is only
coma due more to nervous than physi--
cal causes. These cases naturally &C.
cur more frequently in cities and con-
gested centers of civilization than in
rural communities. This is the worst
feature OF the case, as in such instances
the supposed corpse is Immediately
embarmed and all chances of resuscta-
ton are then gone, as the embalming
operation is suf1fcient to prevent any,
thing being done.
The high pressure life of the city in
duces so many cases of death, praG-

to what extent the science of resusci-
tation could be applied.
ing possibility OF being buried alive is
the fact that many undertakes EN-

protrActed examination OF the body be-
yond seeing that the ordinary signs of
death are evident.
