Evidence was given to the effect that thes child had suffered from ear disease since 1931, and had undergone several operationa at the Evelina Hospital On August th she was admitted to St. George's Hospital. and two days inter a preliminary operation was successfully performed. On September 14th a second operation was necessary to join a sound nerve to apaisied one, amf during this her breathing and heart beats stopped. Massage and other remedies were applied, and the heart began to be again, and continued to do so for an hour and s quarter," when the girl again began to breathe. At this time she had been taken back to the ward, bat respiration censed in aquarter of an hour,
Dr. Braxton Hicks, pathologist at West minster Hospital, said death was due to syncope occurring during an operation to patient who was suffering from the status lymphaticus. The operation was a necessary ore, and was being properly perfornied, and the anesthetic was suitable. It was a ramarkable case in many ways. The patient had been dead for some time, bat bar heart was set going again, both respiration and beart beats being keep going. W
The Coroner, in recording a verdict of death-by misadventure. muid the operation was a very difficult and dangerous one, to join sound nerve to a faulty one in the hope of restoring the nervssupply to must- ed muscles, and to bring about restoration- of the muscles of the face. Her hurt stoppel, the patient being in fact, de, but a miracle was performed: The ald men was opened; and the heart was dinged by the hand, and the dead patient came to life again. The Leart began to beat, fistin aflutter, and then steadily for a long time. and respiration was re-established, so that the patient recovered, and for a time sens carrying on her existence by herself. That was to say, he was breathing autoralls, and her heart was beating regularly, clearly a case of bringing back to life a patient. who was, in fact, dead. Had it not been for the condition of status lymphaticus, he thought the chances were tht she might have recovered completely.

A well-known woman writer, inter viewed by a faily Chronicle representa- tive on the subject, took the view that present-day fa-hions would never appear to be to hideous as those of the past.
