A Deadly Water Foe

Probably one of the most dangerous

into the human anatomy by the most
convenient channels.
There are two distinct species one
ecllike in appearance, blunt-headed and
smooth bcllied, the other armed with

DEAD RESTORED TO LIFE
Pharyngeal Insufflation Revived PLY
stefan Who Had Taken Morphine

From the New York Times.
New marvels in medical progress
about which the general public never
hears under normal circumstances are
coming to light daily as a result of
the congress of surgeons, now in ses-
sion here. It became known that
through the system of pharyngeal in
sufflation devised by DR.. Samuel 7.
Meltzer. of the Rock efeller Institute
for medical research, a young man con-
sidered by his physicians dead. in the
ordinary acceptance of the term, was
brought back to life some months ago.
after the new method of resuscitation
had been APPLIED for many hours.
Dr. Meltzer described his method of
pharyngeal installation in prelimi-
nary note issued from the department
of physiology and pharmacology OF the
Rockefeller Institute early last sum-
mer. This method of resuscitation was
intended to revive those who had been
asphyxiated, or who were seemingly
dead as the result of electric shock.
It, consisted of a new form of artificial
respiration, APPLICABLE in such cases, and
he carried on his studies and expert
ments as a member of the commission
on resuscitation from electric shock APP
pointed by the American Medical AS
ISOLATION. In this preliminary report
DIR. Meltzer announced that he had
succeeded in restoring life. and he told
of having put two animals to death
and af having subsequently resuscitat-
ed them 1t had not been announced,
though, that human patient who was
dead to all intents and purposes had
been revived as the result of DR. Melt
zer's new discovery.
1t was said that a young physician
who was serving on the staff of one of
the hospitals in this city took an over
dose of morphine, whether by accident or
design was not known. The dose was
so large that he fell into a deep coma
and in the institution to which he was
attached it was not believed that he
could be revived Some one recalling
Dr. Meltzer's announcement that he
succeeded in bringing the dead to life,
suggested that it might be worth while
to take the body of this man, who was
really dead to all intents and purposes,
to the Rockefeller Institute to see If
the application of DR.. Meltzer's appara-
tus would prove of any value in such
a case.
The body-for in this case the
patient could not be considered other
wise than as dead--was carried to the
institute in an ambulance, and for | ,
hours the surgeons worked over the
physician, employing the pharyngeal
method of artificial respiration. For
hours there was nothing to show that
spark of life remained in the body,
but after e hours spent In unremitting
work with the Meltzer apparatus, the
patient was restored.

knows that one Is plenty.
So far there las been no suspicion of

may set you to thinking. They do say
that even three little one spots will
overcome two mighty kings and pair

In connection with the three of
kind just referred to, mention might
be made OF a three cornered fight won
by Three Fingered Jack. and when the
smoke of battle clears away a star of
hope looms up in the shape of three

Born of poor parents at a time when
the west was principally forests and
uncultivated plains; in period when

were unheard of. Mrs. Sander, filled

largest belonging to any individual
woman in the state of Washington,
stands in her name. And all these
things were gained by her own indi-
vidual labor and business ability
In her girlhood days Mrs. Sander
lived in oregon with her parents, and
though all struggled Willingly, the
rewards of labor were insufficient there
and in 1855 the family moved to
Washington and settled on a home
stead near the present site of North
Yakima. Here they lived for IS
years, prospecting to some degree, but
times were still hard, as the sur
rounding country was still unsettled
and supplies had to be brought in
from The Dalles, Oregon, then only
a small station.
In the year 1881, Mrs. Sander and
family moved to Kittitas county and
secured a homestead near the present
site of the city of Ellensburg, and the
era of her present prosperity dawned
On the homestead. water was plenti-

Reports from fruit growers show
that present prospects are for the

use of orchard heaters of no value.
From these reports, heater manufac-
turers say that the 1912 fruit crop
of the United States will be less than
half of that of 1911, which was a
normal year. Through the Grand
Valley, from Fruta to Palisade, the
temperature ranged from Is to 18
below zero. Ordinarily fruit buds
would have been killed, but reports
show that even the peach trees es-
capped where they were protected by
smudge pots. So far the fruit buds
have shown no indication of swelling
and there is every chance OF the
spring frosts catching the peach crop
every day. Last year, the frost was
out of the ground before Jan. Is.
