FROM THE CENTINEL.
MR. RUSSELL,^
FROM information communicated to
the Trustees of the Human Society, it ap
pears, that notwithftandihg the great pains
that have been taken to disseminate the
knowledge of the means to be used for the re
- cevery ofc person s apparently dead from
drowniag, and other casualties, pot attended
with any evident injury of the vital organs ;
yet they have freqaen tly upon such vocations,
through ignorance, been negleded. The
Printers ot Newspapers and Almanacks are
therefore most earnestly requested, to give
the following a place in their refpe&ive pub-

CONVEY the perfoa to the near

head railed; strip and dry ,him as
quick at possible ; clean the mouth
@,n<g@ from froth or mud—jf a
child, let him be put between two
perlons naked, in a hot bed—if anfy
dult, lay him on a hot blanket or bed,
ard in cold weather, near a fire—io
warm weather, the sir Ihould be free
ly admitted into the room. The bo
dy is next to be gently rubbed with
warm woolen cloths fpriok!ed with'
fpiriti, if at hand, otherwise dry ;a
heated warming pan may now be
lightly moved over the b^ck, prop
erly covered with a blanket—and the
body, if of a child, is to be gently
shook every few minutes :—Whilft
these means are ufiog, one or two as
sistants are to be employed in blow
ing up tobacco smoke, into the fun
dament, with the inftrumeot provid
cd for the purpose, or a tobacco-pipe,
if that cannot be had—the bowl fil
led with tobacco, ,nd properly light

place before our readers the a&ual filiation
of the World, at the )# dates, we s3llat
tend more to fans, than the language which
shall Jo/fa them. Theattempfis somewhat
arduous, and the collodion of particulars
from various fources,confiderably laborious ;
but rendered less so from the great number
of documents with which we have been fur

hoftite frontiers, ponmn nearly three

by Genro''Jordan; Moreau, Buon

the army of the Alps. The fucceh
ofthe French arms are almoftunpar
