Dog No. 3

Month ago Dr. Robert E. Cornish, jet-haired young University of California researcher, killed two fox terriers with ether and nitrogen, brought them back to life (TIME, March 26). One dog lived a comatose life of eight hours, the other five hours. Last fortnight Dr. Cornish killed a third terrier. For dog No. 3, in addition to the oxygen-saturated saline solution, liver extract, adrenalin, canine blood and rocking board with which he resurrected Nos. 1 & 2, Dr. Cornish had a new help--gum-arabic, to keep the heart from overworking. Revived, the third dog clung to life day after day. Though unconscious, it blinked and stretched when a window-blind was raised, swallowed when food was forced between its lips, kicked when the reflex centre in its leg was tapped. Early this week it had been alive ten days. Working and watching grimly. Dr. Cornish hoped against hope that he would see dog No. 3 once more frisking about his sombre little laboratory.
