SEEMS ALMOST A MIRACLE
Japanese Method Of Restoring Con-
sciousness 10 Something Of Pux-
xIs TO the soIsntlsts.

An English scientist, Prof A.
Abrams. has recently been making 9
special study OF the ssmi-mirsouIous
restoration to life praoticed by the
Japanese. and while he docs not fully
explain why tho men come back to life
after being to all intents dead, he does
toll how 1t Is done, and this In Itself
Is interesting. In flu iitsu II q man Is
knocked out. beaten senseless, killed,
or otherwise mauled. and If man has
been killed by sunstroke or BY
drowning, the rsstorer rolls the patient
on his face and extends his arms side
wise Then he strikes the patient on
the seventh cervical vertebra with his
wrist. severely and regularly, until tho
patient RECEIVERS consciousness. I'M
mediately he is placed IN a sitting pos
ture, his arms rotated, and he is aided
in walking, for otherwise he relapses
into unconsciousness Immediately and
in some cases dies at once.
This system Of pounding the sew
enth vertebra has been found pecu-
fiarly beneficial In some acute heart
diseases, and the effects of the treat
ment under Japanese manipulation
seem almost miraculous at times A

Airdale than Wind. So Wind he was
called. His name, thought Miss
Bounce, also will aid me economically
to remember the name Of the species

"What kind of dog is that pup of
yours ?" asked some one few weeks
after the christening.
Miss Bounces eyes roved anxiously
for an instant, but steadied them
selves directly as she replied with
serene confidence, He is a Wind
