SUSP EA DE D AA MA77ON.

The Rey. NVillikuis Ferrier, at the request of the
Paisley llinnane Society. has teintstintted to as the
fullowint; interesting case of the recovery*, a rielol
who hail fallen Into the Cart, and who had hem
tinder water not less than trii atiwatea

Uu Monday, the 17th of August. at eight
n'clock in the 'morning, J•nies a boy ris-
bre years of age, fell into the river Curt, et the
Lone-end, Paisley. At the moment of this
dem, there MIS nobody near the scene of duit,;t..,
but ore person, who, only hearing the
without knowing the cause, pursued his walk.—
Prompted, however, by curiosity, not mities,d
with solicitude, lie soon returned. Ascertaining
what had huppeued, I.e ran tea neighbouring licre-e
for the assiatauce of Andrew Rob, weaver, who its-
'tautly descended into the river, seized the body of
the child, which bad new riiieu to the surface, aod
was floating ou its back, but with the head and
free completely imineiced. The child meat hare
remained in the river nut less than 1•15
We record, with much satisfaction, that, although
the persons whom the accident assembled de-
murred fur a while about applying uuy 111C444
whatever, from an impressioit that the case was
hopeless, they were not lung undecided or inactive;
and that they resorted to noise of those harsh and
pernicious expedients, which, in similar circum-
stances, 0/fir:issue ignorance ofteu employs, but con-
ducted their arrangements with the utmost pro-
priety. They were psepsrtd to act thus by the
knowledge on this subject wilier' the short printed
directions of the Paisley Ilene/tie Society had dis-
seminated among them. Those means of recovery,
which may easily be employed by persons of every
description, had been used about I i minutes, a Iku
symptoms of vital activity began to be observed.
A skilful surgeon, who now arrived, conducted the
remaining operations; and, almut half pest Mut
o'clock, deliveredthe add, with proper directious,
to his anxious, but joyful, parents. In three data
the child, recovering gradually from the utuaost
debility, regained his meal state of health.
" A silver Medal, with* seituble inseriptiert, will
be bestowed upon Andrew Ilab, by the Society, as
a token of their appiolratien of hie laudable exer-
tions.
"The preceding acconet affords en opportunity
of recalling the attention of the public to the two
following obwervatiosis, which are indeed common,
but deserve and need to be frequently repeated:
" The first is, that, in eases of suffncation by was
ter, nr any other cause, let appearances be ever so
discouraging, the means of restniatiou must be to-
smutty applied, mid lint men relinquished. Ira the
example before us, aiiitnutioti was suspended, ac-
cording to the lowestirestimate, more than twenty
minutes. There may be same CAWS of Nu ffot atioa,
in which death is induced almost instantaneously :
but in many, as has been amply demonstrated by
experience, the springs of life, after having been al, •
rested for half an hour, or much mere, may recover
their tone, and their play.
" There is another observation suggested by the
foregoing statements. Since modicul assistance
cannot be always immediately obtained (although it
is always to be immediately sought) aml since no
inoment is to lie lost after the body is taken out of
the water, it is of the utmost importance that the
public at large bliuuld lie apprised of the proper
modes of treattueut. This is best effected by the
distributiou of brief and plain schemes of direction,
drawn up by professional gentlemen. Such little
vehicles of information, upon a subject, than which
none can be more generally interesting, circulate
among the mass of the people with greet radity„
and are inspectet) with eager 'attention. The kuos-
ledge which they convey is mouucquirect, and never
forgotten. The consequence is most treueticial.
IVhen cases of suspended animation occur, no tinie
is wasted among opposite suggestions, those we
of treatment which have been denounced as
improper, are, with one consent, avoided, and those
which have been authorised, are calmly pursued."
