LIFE BROUGHT BACK
LONDON, Thursday. Dr. MacPherson, Superintendent of St. Mary's Hospital at Portsmouth, claimed at the inquest on a seven-year-old boy named Edward Cook, that the lad was actually dead for 40 minutes, and he was then brought back to life and lived 12 a hours. The boy's breathing ceased under an anaesthetic, whereupon Dr. MacPherson opened the walls of the abdomen and massaged the heart, causing it to pulsate again permitting regular breathing enabling the removal of the lad to a ward where he recovered sufficiently to recognise his mother. He died later.
