Abstract:
Writing in reference to the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society's discussion of the treatment and recovery of persons suffering from asphyxia due to drowning. Concerned that the Society did not consider the length of the heart's action during cases of asphyxia. Notes his experiments on live animals and believes that contractions of the heart after several minutes of suffocation are not capable of fully circulating the blood. Does not think that once the heart has stopped due to asphyxiation that it can be restarted.
