Fire in St. Vincent’s hospital at
Indianapolis, Ind., caused a panic

in which one woman lost her life
and several others were badly in

had recently been operated upon,
other deaths will occur from shock.

the convention to adopt it in the
form of a recommendation to the

In a speech delivered in Chit a
go, Col. Bryan said: “The New
York platform is a dishonest plat
form, lit only for a dishonest party.
No one but an artful dodged would
stand upon it. The submission of
such a platform to the voters of a
-fate is an insult to their intelli
gence, for it is intended to deceive
them, and a deliberate attempt to
deceive—especially so clumsy an at
tempt as this platform is—is a re
flection upon the brains of those
• \
to whom it is submitted. * * * I
can not hope to convince those who
favor deception and fraud in poli
tics, but I am satisfied that we
now have evidence* sufficient to con
vict Judge Parker of absolute un
fitness for the nomination.”
All trustworthy accounts from
the main base of the Russian army
in Manchuria support the view that
(Jen. Kuropatkin is clearing the
country between the Yalu and
f.iau Yang of every form of sus
tenance for men and animals. Cat
tle are being driven north in vast
droves, followed by wagon trains
laden with food and forage. The
inhabitants are threatened with
•famine and as many as arc able are
migrating in a northwesterly direc
tion. It is estimated that Gen.
Kuropatkin's force is now close on
200,000. This number is regarded
as sufficient for a certain amount of
offensive action, but it is believed
that the Russian commander has
elected to fall back to the moun
tainous region about Liau Yang in
order to draw the Japanese across
the extensive, foodless area, and
thus to come into conflict with the
enemy under circumstances favor
able to the Russian army. It is ap
parent that Kuropatkin feels the
advisability, if not the necessity, of
withdrawing beyond easy reach of
the numerous flanking operations
Japan can engineer, with the aid
of its triumphant navy.
RESTORING LIFE TO DEAD.
Animals Revived by Methods to Be
Used on Human Beings—Their
Hearts Beat Again.
I)r. ('rile presented a short pa
per on this subject, in which he
gave a summary of experimental
data, says the New York Medical
Journal. When asphyxia caused
failure of the heart and respira
tion vigorous artificial respira
tion usually restored their func
tions when administered within a
few seconds. It was effective in
an inverse ratio to the time that
had elapsed; it was rarely effective
after 40 seconds. By the addition
of saline infusion a larger propor
tion of animals could be resusci
tated after the lapse of a little
longer time. Rhythmic pressure
upon the heart, either through the
thorax by pressure upon the ribs
over the heart or direct pressure
within the thorax, wasalsoan aid.
The effect of the traumatism to
the heart by the direct method
partially counterbalances the
benefit from this measure. Nitro
glycerin, alcohol and digitalis
were useless; rapidly alternating
the posture, head up, then head
down, was not effective. Suspend
ing the animal head down and
making rhythmical pressure upon
the heart was an effective method.
This method gave the brain tin'
advantage of gravity; it provided
a moderate artificial circulation as
well as respiration. It could be
promptly applied. The addition of
saline infusion increased the ef
fectiveness of the method. Ani
mals apparently dead for periods
up to 15 minutes were resuscitated
by the combined effect of artificial
respiration, rhythmic pressure
upon The heart and the infusion of
adrenalin. Adrenalin, when in
jected directly into the chamber or
into the wall of the heart, caused
fibrillar contractions, after which
the heart could not be resusci
tated. After final cessation of the
heart, by employing manual com
pression of the heart and infusing
adrenalin, t he blood pressure could
be raised even higher than the
normal. Respiration in some in
stances was partially restored.
Experiments in which saline in
fusion was substituted for adren
alin, and which were unsuccessful,
were promptly successful on add
ing adrenalin. In a patient with
crushed skull, whose heart had
ceased beating for nine minutes,
resuscitation of the heart for 81
minutes by this method was made.
During the operation for the ele
vation of the depressed bone the
patient moved his head.
Another patient, apparently
dead from a severe crushing of the
base of the skull, was partially re
suscitated L’4 minutes after the
apparent death. The proofs of the
apparent death were absence of
respiration, absence of heart
sound on stethoscopic aucultatiou,
and, as a final proof, on opening
the jugular vein there was abso
lutely no circulation. In this case
the blood pressure rose to 80 mm.
at one time; voluntary respiration
appeared. These evidences of
vital action continued for 84 min
utes. »
After the Fire.
After a big fire in London some
interesting notes were made on
the safes which were excavated
from the ruins. One safe had the
brass handles and fittings com
pletely melted and run into the
keyhole, the contents of tin* safe
being uninjured. Safes protected
by brickwork' or in cellars and
basements generally escaped, and
those taken first out of the ruins
gave the best results. Safes fall
ing from t he upper stories into the
center of the mountains of brick
work, which remained red-hot for
days, had their contents charred
beyond recognition. The leaves
of many account books could be
separated and handled, although
as black as coal, and tin* writing
in ink was completely invisible,
while, curiously enough, the ticks
and corrections in pencil shone
out like silver.
