! RESTORES LIFE.
DR.. MeItzer Successfully
E Experiments UponAnimals.
Believes Methods Gan Be Ap-
piled TO Human Beings.
Layman Can Learn II as Easily as
The Physician.


New York, May l9.-Dr, Samuel +.
Meltzer of the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research, in the course of
recent experiments to discover a sue
eessful method of artificial respiration.
restored to life two animals which he
had caused To he put TO death and
which were dead in the common 'ac-
eeptance of the term. Both recovered
entirely. He believes the method to
he equally applicable to man, and
urges that ii be tried in all cases of
death; for it is quite possible, he as
serts, that in cases of death from acute
Illness the actual cause might he only
of a temporary nature.
This laboratory worker, whose repu-
tation is international. is known to
scientists as an extremely conservative
man. His positive statements there
fore, regarding the results of mis- latest
discovery have created a stir in scien-
tific circles.
1t is certain that Dr. Meltzer has
devised method of artificial respira-
ton tenfold more efficient than the old
er ones, and it IS expected that it will
be the means of saving countless lives.
Briefly the method consists Of the

keep air from being forced INTO the
stomach. connecting the cathefer with
a bellows and pumping air into the
lungs. With very little instruction. the
layman can learn these methods as
readily as the physician. DR.. Meltzer
gives this explanation of his reasons
for beginning the experiments, whieh
already have given such promising re-
suits:
serving on the commission ON re-
suseiation from electricity. appointed
by the American Medical Association,
| became Interested in this problem,
and began TO study it's solution expert

that / have already attained very prom
Using results. Nithont discussing the
question whether the method ] have
developed should and would be recon-
mended by the commission as the one
which promises the best results, It
seems 10 me advisable 10 present It
early To the medical profession.
"The method was studied and found
efficient OF four species of animals.
But its real usefulness viii be estab-
lished only after standing the test in
rs application to human being, and the
final Judgment will have to come from
tho physicians and not from the ex-
permenter in the laboratory"
The majority of pr Meltzer's expo
riments were carried on with animals
in which respiration had been para
lyzed by means of a poison named
curare.

dents The politicians found that they
had erred greatly in interpreting popular
sentiment. They quickly backed down
at Baltimore, ceasing opposing the NOM

the campaign for his reelection was far

this country changes with great rapidity.

He would. so many thing, chew up
almost anybody else the Democrats
could nominate. There would be only
one round to the battle.
But old man Bryan is a veteran in
the ring. He is rather long himself

Roosevelt TO long, hard and windy
contest. so some of the wise ones say.
AS compared with what Roosevelt now
advocates Bryan is comparatively con-

has been busy crying ''rhief, thief"
and there might he some sympathy for
him, if he and Roosevelt should ulti-

nominee in 1900 when Roosevelt was a
nominee for Vice President. But
Roosevelt was pitted against Parker in
