NEW SERUM
REVIVAL OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED EXPERIMENTAL TESTS BEING MADE TORONTO, July 16. Sir Frederick Banting, Canadian surgeon and physiologist, and one of the discoverers of insulin, has announced that the city police are testing a new serum for resuscitating drowned persons. He declined to describe the treatment, but said that it had proved effective on animals. It was understood that the serum, injected into the neck, amounted virtually to an intravenous injection of oxygen.
