Newly Discovered Serum Is Used
Successfully ia Drowning Gases

Baltimore, Md. Physicians at the
Johns Hopkins hospital invented some
time ago a device to restore to life
those apparently dead from drowning.
1t proved successful on animals that
could be put under treatment immedi-
ately after the accident.
With the idea of restoring life
some time after the accident, physi-
clans began to search for desired
serum.
However, in most OF the cases there
have been after effects, such as high
blood pressure or hardening of the ar
teries.
According to the physicians, If the
serum can be injected into the person
even several hours after the accident,
it will restore life. In one case on ar
animal the serum was injected fou,
hours after drowning" and the ami.
