CLAIMS A DISCOVERY
BRINGS DEAD TO LIFE

after the death of the patient. I hope
that Or. Forlinc is not mistaken in
his experiments"
DIR. G. +. Thomas when Informed
of Or. Forline's discovery, said:
1t is a simple process to draw
the Cerehro-s spinal fluid from the spi-
nal canal most any place, but owing
to the arrangement of the valves at
the upper end Of the spinal canal, it
has been found impossible, or nearly
so, to replace the fluid back into the
vcntricles of the brain.
This is well known scientific
fact, which has been thoroughly
proven during spinal anaesthesia.
question very much whether the
drawing of all the fluid from the cord
and brain would not Immediately pro-
duce death of itself.
1t has been proven by repeated ex-
pCrimentatioNS that the spinal fluid
has but little or no functions except
to act as q cushion and protector
to the cord and brain. 1t may, there
fore, be safely predicted that there
is nothing in the alleged discovery"

Joe Cans Will meet Howard Wilson
of Philadelphia in a 20-round bout.
1t is a well-known fact in sporting
circles that Cans, or perhaps his
mana ger. is Of a thrifty turn of mind
and believes in making hay while the
sun shines, but the purse TO be
fought for tonight is about the small
est gone after since the colored boy
reached the front ranks of pugilism
some five or six years ago. Wilson,
though comparatively an unknown, is
said to be a hard hitter and his
friends assert confidence in his abil-
ity to make a GOOD showing before

Or. Forline claims that he has

restoring life to human being techni-

The process consists of inserting 4

death. Another fluid, made Of living

In replying to n question as to his
views on the discovery made by DR..
Forline, Mayor Byynes made the fol-
lowing statement:
Science has made such wonderful
advances along medical lines that it is
possible the statements made by Dr..
Forline are true. 1t is a we'll known
fact that there is no such thing as
instantaneous death. The various
cells of the body died gradually. and
a great many hours may elapse after
the heart stops beating before there
is complete cessation of life in all the
cells that compose the body.
There are many authenticated
cases where the heart has ceased to
beat for various causes. but resusci-
tation has taken place several hours
