Bringing Back the DEAD Rotating Body Fluids Jolts Dummy to Life

Bringing the dead back to life with a spinning whirligig figure!  A photograph dated 1920 of the amazing Frankenstein invention of Anthony  A. Barry.   Shown is Mr. Barry's model of a rotating machine "for the application of mechano-therapeutic methods" he claimed would rotate a person back to life.  "By rotating the body in a certain manner it will start the fluids of the body in motion and in extreme cases will even start circulation anew and force the heart to pump, thus reviving apparently "dead" persons."  Well, I guess so.  I'm not quite sure what an "apparently" dead person is.  Seems to me it is an either/or thing…but apparently he apparently can bring us back using carnival techniques.  Give him a spin!
