This agent possesses medicinal
properties of its own, being most

as to say, when life is apparently

back by use of magnesium"
Professor Mayer said that in the
course of his experiments abroad he
took several jellyfsh and put them in
a tank filed with sea water. Then he
withdrew all the magnesium from the
water, and in less than two hours the
fish were, shriveled up and apparently
dead.
