"DEAD" FIVE MINUTES
AND BACK TO LIFE. "CHIEF EXHIBIT" AT MEDICAL LECTURE. I (Special.—By Air Mail.) LONDON, April 15. Mrs. Kate Linwood, who at the age of 49 "died." for five minutee and was brought back to life by massage after an operation, is to be the "chief exhibit" at a lecture to 60 doctors at County Hall, London. She will be taken to the lecture by ambulance. Doctors describe Mrs. Linwood, who is the wife of a Middlesex boot repairer, as a "woman in a million." The lecture on her will be given by Dr. Ivor Lewis, who last September performed a "Tendelenberg" operation on her —the only one ever carried out in England. It was to remove a clot of blood blocking the artery between the heart and lungs. Despite her'five minutes' "death," four operations and several complications, Mrs. Linwood looked well and cheerful this week.
