Doctor Revives Consumptive Patient After Death At Hospital
In Brooklyn Oscar Culver was pronounced dead at Eastern District Hospital after his pulse ceased and no breath could be detected. Dr Henry Jaffer used whisky and strychnine with artificial respiration, restoring a faint heart beat for about an hour. Culver spoke to his wife, but doctors warned recovery was unlikely as he remained gravely ill with consumption and inflammatory rheumatism. The revival lasted only temporarily before he faded again, with his wife allowed brief visits and guarded hopes for a possible extension of life.
