AN ATTEM?T TO REI WITH THE BODIE The following re:warkable case was referred to in the press desp the circumstances a lated below :

A Nashville, Tenn., reporter describing the attempt to resuscitate the negroes hanged at Marfreesboro on Friday last, says :—‘* After they had been suspended for seventeen min- utes they were cut down, and Dr. Sleger, of Nashville, and Drs. Byrne and Maurfee, of this city, attempted the experiment in resus- citation which was proposed afew days ago. They did not begin until thirty minutes after the men had been cut down. A number of physicians were present to witness the experi ment. After the clothing had been taken off, their bodies were wrapped in hot blankets, applications were made to their necks to re- duce the swelling, and an artificial resfiration breught about by the means aaually applied in cases of persons who have been in the water feralong time. Allthis was preliminary to the application ef electricity.

Batteries were placed in juxtaposition to the apinal cord and different portions of the brain. The effects .f the application were soon apparent. First came nervous muscular twitchings in those parts of the body with which the batteries were placed in contact. The temperature was gradually increased until reached over 1,000 degrees.

The effect was immediate. The muscular eontraction increased. The limbs twitched and shook like men asleep, and struggling under the spell of a horrid nightmare. The regular drawing in and expulsion of air, pro- duced by the appliancies referred to, were horribly real and life-like. The respiration came with au effort, however, and sounded like the gasps of men struggling for breath.

Dr. Sleger put his hand to their wrists. ‘The pulse is beating,” he said. ‘‘You can feel it, but faintly.”

Their eyes next opened, under the effect of the electric current, and turned about the reom in a vacant ywaze. There was no sound but the labored casping at their lips. All in the room stood still with horror.

“Gentlemen,” said Dr. Sleger, ‘‘the experi- ment is concluded. Our main object was to show +: effect of electricity upon the mus- cular conives, and we have exinbited that, I think, :: : remarkably realistic way.”
