HEART STOPS
ASTONISHING RECOVERY AFTER QUARTER OF AN HOUR SEQUEL TO FALL INTO SEA A woman's heart stopped beating for a quarter of an hour. Then it went on again — and she lived. It stopped beatiug when she fell into the sea at Thorpe Baj% Scuthend, England, a few weeks ago. It began beating again after a policeman had continued artificial respUation for a quarter of an hour, following her rescue from the uter by Mr. Arthur Hayden, of Romford, who waded in. As soon as the woman was dragged upon the beach the policeman began artificial respiration. He kept on when the woman was put in an ambulanee and taken to a hospital, and did not cease until the house surgeon was ready to give oxygen.' The house surgeon said that normally the heart does not revive when breathing has ceased for five minutes. The woman was Mrs. Winifred Warren, aged 58.
