Read first of a girl's heart that was restarted-how she was kept alive for more than five hours by an artificial breathing machine.

Then read of a Russian professor's experiments with a dog that had been dead for ten minutes. He used an artificial heart. The dog lived.

The girl, Miss Betty Lloyd Pugh, aged twenty, a Chalk Farm, N.W., domestic servant, died following ether convulsions after an operation for appendicitis at St. Thomas' Hospital.

Dr. R. F. Woolmer stated, at the Southwark inquest that the convulsions stopped after treatment but recurred after about twenty minutes.

but died away again,

He injected adrenalin (a powerful drug) directly into the heart itself. The patient was placed in a Drinker arti- ficial respiration machine, which was one of only two or three in use in Britain.

The machine, he said, auto- matically expanded and con- tracted a patient's chest-tak- ing the place of the respiratory muscles. It had kept a patient alive for days.
