Description
Dr. Robert E. Cornish (above), research assistance at the University of California,
restored a dead dog to life, and after ten days the dog was still alive and sedative to light and touch. The dog, killed by nitrogen, was given injections of dog's blood,
Adrenalin and heparin, with the type of respiratory treatment. In half a minuet its heart began to beat, and in one minute it breathed hard. To slow the heart action that has worn out other subjects, Cornish injected Gum Arabic. The dog, although not conscious, consumes milk and eggs when placed in its mouth. Its eyes react to light and when its ears and feet are tickled it moves these parts of the body. Dr.
Cornish, however, insists the dog must fully recover consciousness for his experiment to be considered successful. (Photo by Bettmann Archive/Getty Images)
