HEART BEATS AGAIN

Five Minutes’ Cessation PATIENT RECOVERS London, January 27. ■ ’’The “British Medical Journal” records the extraordinary case of John Puckering, aged 58, a Birmingham gardener, whose heart and breathing completely stopped for five minutes, while Dr. Percival Mills was operating on him for a duodenal ulcer. Dr. Mills said: “Everybody in the operating theatre believed that the patient was dead, and I continued with heart massage only from a sense of public duty, while my assistant injected adrenalin. Suddenly I felt a faint flicker, and the heart started beating vigorosly again. Artificial respiration was continued while I hurriedly completed the operation.” Three weeks later Puckering had completely recovered, and has now resumed gardening.
