Excerpt from The Medical Times and Gazette, Vol. 39: A Journal of Medical Science, Literature, Criticism, and News; January 1 to June 25, 1859
It being wished to throw some brandy into the rectum, an enema syringe was sent for to an adjacent druggist's. The one brought was out of order, and a second had to be pro cured from a Surgeon's who lived in the same street. It was not till after the administration of the brandy that the faintest return of pulse was perceptible. For ten minutes after this the pulse continued to be only a very uncertain flicker; by degrees, however, it improved, and at length several gaspings took place. Some strong ammonia was now applied to the nostrils, after which she suddenly drew a breath and gave a little scream, from which time all was right. As usual those present estimated the length of the period of apparent death very differently, the longest mentioned being half an hour, and the shortest a quarter. The period during which artificial respiration was kept up without intermission could not have been much less than half an hour, but during the latter part of this, although there was no voluntary attempt at respiration, yet the pulse at the wrist was perceptible. On account of fatigue to the operator's arms, it had been necessary to change places three times during the employ ment of artificial respiration.
