Mr.. Shersey, who led up to the subject

inch guns used by the Germans in
Belgium, the existence of which, he
said, he doubted, is to protect impor-

Brings Dead Woman
Back To Life

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 9th- At anita
are discussing with in
terest the case of Dir. G. S. Hutch
inson, of Los Angeles, CAL, who
restored a woman to life after she
had been actually dead for ten
minutes. They look upon it as
the most marvellous bit Of modern
surgery.
Mrs. Walter w. Akers, having
undergone an operation, was really
dead, say the physicians. Her
heart had stopped; there was no
pulse, there was no response to any
test. But DIR. Hutchison put his
hand through the incision made
by the operation, grasped her al
the top and bottom and began to
compress it gently. Under this
artificial pumping the blood began
to course through the veins once
more. The patient rallied, and is
on the road to recovery.
