challenge to the belief that death
is inevitable was laid before I ho
scientists of the international

Kuschlo A. Hernandez of the Col
lege of K ranee, Paris.
1 le apnea led for formation of
world wide scientific organization
to study means to "prevent Hie

I'roof already crisis. he said.
that death is not altogether so in-,

Physiologists posseH evidence to
the contrary obtained by keeping
single organs alive after death of
the other part of the body.

The fiist of these demonstrations,
satd Dr. Hernandez, was made by
Pror.'j. P, lieymans in 1!U2, when
he preserved life, lu an isolated
head for two or three hours. Ite
ecntly there have been reports ol
similar experiments in ItiMsia. A
human heart has been kept alive
for au bonis alter death by Prof.
A. KoubliabkO, Itussiun physiolo
gist, Hernandez said that others
have succeeded to a cerlain extent
In re-establishing the general cir
culation, and t hat he and 1'rof.
Purcliese of Milan have obtained
results "not. ullogelher negative" in
restoring respiration of a. dog.
Seventeen years have passed, he
added, since lieymans lold the
scientific, world how lo keep the
head alive, but n0 further progress
mis been made. The fault Tor this
dolay, be argued, lieu :iot In lack
of ability by present research
workers, but In their Impatience
with the methods of old lime phy
