How Senator Hanna
Was Revived.

The terrific struggle with death,
by Senator Hanna, will go down in
history as one of the most remarka-
Bile ever known. Three times in IS
hours was he snatched from the grave
after his pulse had ceased to beat and
bs gan anew the battle for life, but
with wasted energies and at a great
er disadvantage each time. 1t seems
cruel that so brave a patient should
lose so gallant a fight. kilograms
from Washington give this graphic
acoount of the unequal contest:
OF course, from the sick room all
that IS vouchsafed is the cold type
of bulletins. These tell poorly of the
struggle with the demon of death.
The story of Fridays battle now
known was repeated Saturday and
Sunday. Then, instead of early NOR
ming, came the sinking spell at night.
Then, as yesterday, the doctors
thought the heart had ceased to beat
entirely, and that the patient was not
breathing at all. They knew that
heroic measures were nee ssary to
revive him If he was to live, and the
patient was pulled out of bed. thrown
on the floor, the shock beirg intend
to cause a reaction. One of the
physicians took both of his wrists in
his hands. while the other rested his
read upon the abdomen, and the
tlird placed his mouth at thu Sena-
atoI's ear. The doctor at the arms
began working them up and down to
create artificial respiration, the
physician shouted in his ear at the
proper moment, "Now breathe,' The
nurse meanwhile administering the
oxygen.
Four times was this action repeated
each time the doctor u-ing hy pnotic
suggestion, commanding him more
loudly each time to breathe, and, a.
the fourth movement of the arms
and diaphragm. the Senator yielding
to the hypnotic command, drew a
long breath and lived again. AS the
respiration was restored, the doctors
carefully lifted the patient back into
the bed.
