Show Health and Beauty By , o a DR. SOPHIA BRTJNSON THE WOXDERS OF ADRENALIN record of people having injection of adrenalin. Some of them have lived for many years after. Adrenalin was the first gland substance to be discovered. A Japanese Ja-panese physician, Jokichi Taka-mine, Taka-mine, was doing research work at Parke-Davis laboratories when he found it out. It is used to stop bleeding, and has many useful purposes. In fact, all the glands of the body create very important products which are necessary to life and health. The thyroid gland, for example, regulates regu-lates many body functions. When the gland becomes diseased the whole body is sick. Regular habits and the right food are necessary to the proper functioning of the glands, without which no one can enjoy good health. i passed out from electric shocks and have been brought back to life from the injection of adrenalin directly di-rectly into the heart itself. That was where Ruth Snyder got the idea that she could probably be restored re-stored to life in the same way. Strange how loath murders are to give up their lives, when they so cruelly and callously take the lives of others. There are a number of cases on It was reported at the tlme when Ruth Snyder was awaiting electrocution, that she had arranged arrang-ed with physicians to give her injections in-jections of adrenalin immediately after being pronounced dead by the state of New York. This scheme was thwarted by an autopsy which was held a few minutes after the current passed through her body. Who knows but that she might have been resuscitated by adrenalin? adrena-lin? Adrenalin is a substance which is secreted by two little glands just above the kidneys. It has many uses in medicine though it is quite costly because it takes a herd of cows to obtain a small amount of this valuable secretion. There have been cases where dead people have been restored to life by the injection of adrenalin. To all appearances they were dead, they had ceased breathing, no heart beat could be elicited by any known test, and the body was beginning to grow cold. It is safe to say that if adrenalin had not been used that they would have remained dead. When people have died from chronic disease of the organs, no amount of adrenalin would have any effect in restoring them to life. The only cases that have responded to the treatment have died from sudden shock caused by bullet wounds, electric current or some other similar cause. There is an interesting case recorded re-corded in the police dockets of Detroit De-troit where a negro was shot by a policeman. He died without making a statement. Doctor Fremont injected in-jected adrenalin into the heart of the dead man. Finally, his pulse began to flicker, he breathed and opened his eyes. He was questioned question-ed concerning several hold-ups. He told of some of the activities of the underworld, but at the end of five hours collapsed and died from hemorrhage from his wound.
