A case in which a heart stopped beating for five minutes and then was massaged into action has been reported by Dr. Aaron E. Kantor, of Chicago. The patient was Mrs. Gertrude Harper, 40, who underwent an abdominal operation in Cook County Hospital. She apparently suecumbed to the effects of an anaesthetic and her pulse stopped. The doctor said extreme measures to revive her were resorted to only after artificial respiration and adrenalin had failed.
