WHEN IS A PERSON

DEAD?

WHEN BRAIN STOPS

Is it possible, with the resources of modern science, to bring the dead back to life?

The question arises when one considers the remarkable case reported recently. A woman's heart stopped beating during an operation; "she was, in fact, she is almost ead"; yet now well again.

BLOOD DRAWN FROM "“FOREIGNER"

PUBLISHING PROBLEM IN JAPAN

A good instance of Japanese kindness of intention, but mis- taken ingenuity, is revealed in a pamphlet recently written by a correspondent in Tokyn on "The Present Situation of Education in Japan."

The author wrote: "In October, 1932, the whole of the medical faculty of Nihon University Tokyo, declared a strike to demand the reinstatement of Dr. Nukada, Dean of the Faculty, who had recently been asked to resign. On this occasion the 700 medical students each drew blood from the forefinger and in it signed an oath that they would not return to their studies until the authorities agreed to reinstate their Dean."
