RUBBER HEART KEEPS CAT ALIVE. A cat spent one of its fabled nine lives recently, equipped with a rubber heart, according to Dr 0. S. Gibbs, of Dolhousie University, in a lecture at the Nova Scotia Institute of Science. The heart, electrically operated, maintained full action over a period of hours in the feline circulatory system, from which the natural heart had been removed. Experiments to study the effects of drugs on the system soon wore out the natural heart, Dr Gibbs said The operation on the cat took, about five minutes. After rubber heart was installed the cat lived several hours, said the scientist.
