Almost everyone has heard Of instances Of resus-
citation Of persons who were believed to be dead.
Since the discovery Of the tonic effects Of adrenelin
when injected into tie tissues, many such cases have
been - rted on excellent medical authority.
~ long ago there was PUBLISH. ...rgidely an
p1-Vl authentic story Of a0D-n whose heart
stood still for seven hours and was started again by
injection Of adrenclin into the heart muscle. My own
little daughter was at the point Of death from ana
phalactic shock, following incubation with Dick serum
for prevention Of scarlet fever, and was revived by
an injection of aGrenelin. she remains alive and we'll.
There was a story in the papers during the last
weeks Or 1927 about a girl in the hill country who
moved an eyelid during her funeral services, and thus
halted the proceedings. she was nursod back to health,
I believe.
There was a plan 70 revive Ruth Snyder with
Adrenelin injections. after electrocution, but the state
Of New York guards against such procedure by cut
ting up the bodies of electrocuted persons. ! believe
that the only reason for these autopsies is to make
sure Of death. Nobody knows whether the electric
shock actually kills an healthy persons who are sub
jected to it.
some persons have q morbid fear II being buried
alive. E. +. Benson, in Our Family Affairs, tells
III a brother NJ I'LL who was afflicted with this fear.
When the poor fellow died. he left specific directions
for interment III a vault with plenty 81 air in it, and
for food and drink that were 70 be placed within
reach. Also, his tomb had ~ re equipped with trick
locks. easily opened fro within.
The chances Of being buried alive, for the average
irhabitant Of North America, seems 10 me to be about
equal Il chances Of being struck on the nose by light
ming while riding across Niagara rapids On the cable
way. But there is that chance. r. course. I believe il
is nothing To worry about.
After III, there's always a chance that something
awful viii happen To you. Think over all the awful
things that might happen 70 you, and you may he able
70 pick out one Of them and specialize On II. Then
you'll ne a hypoch0ndriac.
There are persons who worry constantly because
they fear they may commit suicide. Well, ill., a fool
ISL thing to worry about. because maybe they won't
commit suicide after all. and then they've had their
worry al for nothing.

This battery
puts the holes to work

THE illustration above shows how The Ever
eady Layerbilt "B" Battery is made-buil, up
of fiat dry cells packed closely together in
layers. The ordinary dry-cell "B'' battery is
composed of cylindrical cells with much waste
space between the cells. Eveready "B' Bat
teries have always been famous for their long
service, but the Eyeready Layerbilt is the long
est lasting of all Evereadys because we have
put the holes TO work, getting more electricity
out of a given quantity of materials than cylin-
drical cells can possibly produce. That means
that they last longer in actual radio use.
