Rochester, N. Especial Cores
pondence.)-A remarkable ease that
threatens to upset the theory and prac-
tice of medicine is reported from Will
mtngton, O. The human heart has
been made to beat again in the body Of
q woman given up to death by doctors.
The credit for this startling r~estora-
ton is due to that distinguished sa-
want OF this city, Thomas +. Adkin,
Professor of Vitaopathy. and-President
Of the Institute of Physicians and Sur
geons.
Previous experiments on animals,
like those made by Loeb. of Chicago,
and Weaver, of Philadelphia, succeeded
in making the heart beat Sfor only a
short time after death, and even this
partial success probably was due
merely to reflex muscular action in
duced by saline Injections.
But in this case Professor Adkin ac-
complished a far more wonderful re-
suit. BY an entirely different method
and in an entirely different way, he
not only made the heart beat again
but made 1t keep on beating, and to-
day the woman, a Mrs. M. r. Brack-
ney, is alive and well. instead Of being
in her grave.
The history Of medicine, from the
time of Galen to the present day, fails
to give an explanation OF this phe-
nomenal restoration, that seems to
rival the miracles of ancient writ.
The facts in the case are SO unusual
and revolutionary that an interview
was sought with Professor Adkin, to
learn, IL possible, the details Of this
wonderful case. At first he seemed re-
~luctant to talk for publication, but
finally was induced to tell of what is
undoubtedly one of the most marvel
GUS discoveries in the annals of science
a discovery that gives this man a
strange and fa~r-reaching control over
human life, over disease and death.
yes, I restored Mrs. Brackney to
life and health, made her heart beat
again." said the professor. "But 1t is
a mistake to think that that this is the
first or only case of the kind where ]
have been equally successful wher
drugs and doctors have failed. I have
cured hundreds of men and women ir
the same way. of diseases pronounced
incurable, rescued them when they
were on the edge of the grave, and re-
stored them to health and strength
without useless drugs or the surgeons
knife"
Would you mind giving the names
of some of these people?"
Not at all. There is nothing I want
