AT Evansville, ILL.,, the bringing back
to life of Mrs. Sally Allen at hospital
by injection into her veins of normal
salt solution is being widely comment
ed on by physicians in that section of
the country. The solution was nothing
more than teaspoonful of common
salt dissolved in a pint of water. Mrs.
Allen is improving and the chances
OF recovery are greatly in her favor.
Mrs. Allen has long suffered with alb
dominal trouble, and physicians decid-
ed on an operation as a last resort to
save her life. She was taken to a sani-
tarium on Friday night, mad when the
operation was finally completed three
physicians examined the woman's pulse
and pronounced her dead. Her respira-
tory glands failed to perform their
functions. Nitro glycerine, strychnine
and other stimulants used to revive the
hearts action were brought into use.
but failed. AS last resort DR.. Rich
stein opened vein in the woman's arm
and injected pint of normal salt solu-
ton. He was rewarded in a few min
utes afterward by seeing the patient
open her eyes. In a few seconds more
she raised her head and asked for
something to eat. While the power of
salt to bring back dead to life has been
commented on by the medical journals
of the country, few practitioners have
had the hardihood to risk chances Of
failure in giving it trial. DIR. Rich
stein is probably the first physician in
the west to make the test.
