LIFE RESTORED.
BY INJECTION IN HEART. How a man was brought back to life by an injection after "the action of the heart had definitely stopped" is told by Dr. Karl Bodon, of Budapest. The patient was 70 years old and had heart attacks, for which the doctor h'rst administered morphia, which hud no good effect. Reporting the case in the "Lancet," he says: — '■[ resolved to try an inlercardiac injection. 1 hurried to my rooms to provide myself with a long needle, and returning within a few minutes found that the patient had nearly passed away in the meantime. He lay relaxed and apparently lifeless in a chair, with his head fallen back. While I was preparing the injection respiration ceased completely, and the action of the heart had definitely stopped. "I was without medical assistance and considerably agitated," says the doctor, who described his feeling when he plunged the needle containing a solution of adrenalin into the man's heart. "A few seconds later I observed a steady improvement of the heart bear, which proved regular and effective in loss than half a minute." He reports that the man is now well in every respect.
