J — o Girl Dead Two Hours; Brought Back To Life o o Dead for two hours was the the strange experience of Margaret Cooper, a young woman ut the County Hospital nt Albany, N, Y. This announcement has just been made public by Dr. Everheart, head of the medical staff. Three days ago declared dead two hours and a quarter earlier, by the doctors, her stone cold body awaited removal from the hospital morgue, when suddenly there rushed into the hospital a woman who asked where Miss Cooper was. Quickly she was at her side followed by surprised physicians and nurses who tried to make her understand it was too late. Disregarding them she glanced only an instant at tlie lifeless form of the young woman before her on the marble slab. Suddenly she stood erect making a gesture as of authority. Riveted to 'he spot, tlie doctors and nurses watched her as she opened a book, glanced a moment at it, then pressed it tightly to her, closed her eyes and lilted her head. Silently her lips began to move. Her face shone as with an almost superhuman expression. Then suddenly, a terrible awe gripped them all as they watched, so Dead Body Made to Live Without warning Miss Cooper's lifeless body stirred. Astounded, the doctors stared in horror at one another. Their gaze riveted on the nowtwitching corpse. Amazed, the nurses watched .their professional calm broken by the realization that they stood in the presence of something more powerful than medical science, while not a sound broke the awful ilence. Beads of cold perspiration ite >d on their faces as they watch- ><],- second resurrection. 1 i aning forward, the woman placed the little book in Miss Cooper’s hand. With her other hand she lifted her, telling her to arise. Slowly, mechanially. Miss Cooper sat up, eyes closed, 'he death pallor still on her face. The miracle woman’s lips moved silently as she continued her work of raising the dead, before the very eyes of the now bewildered doctors* and nurses, for the stillness of death bore heavily upon all. Opening her oyes, the woman look ed down at Miss Cooper and smiled and spoke. The color began slowly to return to the,young woman’s face: iter eyes twitched, her lips moved, while a sigh of relief went up from all (he doctors and nurses. A nurse handed her a stimulant and in amazement, Miss Cooper looked at those about her, as she noticed herself in her uncanny shroud., The Mystery Grows But another surprise was in store. Miss Cooper didn't know who this mysterous woman was standing before her, and the woman it developed had never heard of Miss Cooper until she passed the hospital a few morn- nts before, when someone coming out sobbed aloud that Margaret had, died. Hearing her sobbing the woman asked the name of her friend, then hastened into the building to Miss Cooper. Dr. Everheart Surprised Dr. J. T. Everheart, who has recently been placed in charge of the iicspital since his arrival in America, i in talking to the woman about the remarkable recovery, inquired what heri method was. What < ame as a shock, | and as another and greater surprise ’ to him. was that he learned that this motherly little woman had but that morning picked up in the public li-; brary. a book on mental and spiritual, healing and had become so wrapped, up in what she read that the impulse eized and controlled her at the in- 1 stunt she heard of Miss Copper’s j death and without fully realizing what I she was doing/ she brought to life again this young woman whom she had never seen before. Supernatural Guidance Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, the woman who brought about this, the most remarkable recovery ever made in any hospital, says she did not realize what good she was doing, but now thanks God that she was instrumental through which such work could be brought about. Mrs. Smith's experience has produced a profound sensation among the people of Albany and neighboring cities. She is besieged on all sides not only by doctors, scientific men, ministers and healers of all types but by mail is receiving requests for help and information from hundreds of persons in all parts oi the country. Mrs. Smith unfortunately is not in a position to give this, as the constantly growing work demanded of her is overburdening, but she says she feels that others can do the same as she. as ft is simple if they but study the book of Mr. Banning’s to which she credits | entirely her remarkable success, it . being the first time she ev’er tried to I heal anyone. She says she can never j be thankful enough for having read Mr. Banning's book, “Mental and Spiritual Healing" that she in sopie unaccountable way was lead to pick up
