Restoration from -Owning,
A remarkable story of the restora* tion of an apparently drowned man was told to the Essex coroner last week, Three men were out in a boat— there was no dog there — which capsized ; two : were drowned, and one was towed ashore apparently drowned, and a medical man pro* nounced life extinct. However, two men set to work to rub the body and used artificial respiration, and after two hours animation returned. The old motto of nil desperandum needs more frequent application in cases of supposed death ; once or twice animation has been restored to those who have apparently succumbed to chloroform, after intervals of three, four, and in one case six hours. It is terrible to contemplate the number of persons who must have been allowed to pass into the Silent Land because a hope was too quickly abandoned, and artificial respiration arrested after too short a time, — HoS' pital.
