THE. GREAT EASTERN.—STEAM PACKET HARVEST.—
The Southampton and Cowes steamboats are daily loaded
with passengers attracted by the Great Eastern steamship,
lying in Southampton river. The packets from Southamp-
ton to the Isle of Wight allow their passengers to go on
board the Great Ship without any extra charge, and the
next steamer takes them on to the island. They thus ac-
commodate the public and fill their coffers.

RESTORATION OE THE APPARENTLY

DRO TVNED.

At the present bathing season the following directions for
the restoration of the apparently dead from drowning can-
rot fail to be of essential service. Their leading principles
are those of the late Dr. Marshall Hall, and are the results
of the latest discoveries. The favourable opinion of the
principal medical bodies und of three hundred medical men
in this country, as also those of the chief medical bodies of
the continent, have been obtained by the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution on the subject. These directions have

been extensively circulated by the institution throughout
the United Kingdom and in the colonies. They are also in
use in her Majesty's fleet, and have been translated into
French, German, Spanish, and Swedish.

Send immediately for medical assistance, blankets, and
dry clothing, but proceed to treat the patient instantly on
the spot, in the open air, whether on shore or afloat.

The points to be aimed at are, first and immediately, the
restoration of breathing and the prevention of any further
diminution of the warmth of tha body; and, secondly,
after breathing is restored, the promotion of warmth and
circulation.

The efforts to restore breathing, and to preveat any
further diminution of the warmth of the body, must be
commenced immediately and energetically, and must be
persevered in for several hours, or until a medical man has
pronounced that life is extinct. Efforts to promote warmth
and circulation must be deferred until natural breathing has
been restored.

TREATMENT AFTER NATURAL BREATHING HAS BEEN

RESTORED.
To promote Warmth and Circulation.

I Commence rubbing the limbs upwards, with firm
grasping pressure and energy, using handkerchiefs, flannels,
&c. (by this measure the blood is propelled along the veins
towards the heart).
The friction mustbe continued under the blanket, or over
the dry clothing.
2. Promote the warmth of the body by the application
of hot flannels, bottles, or bladders Of hot water, heated
bricks, &c,, to the pit of the stomach, the armpits, between
the thighs, and to the soles of the feet.

3. If the patient has been carried to a house after respira-
tion has been restored, be careful to let the air play freely
about the room.

4. On the restoration of life a teaspoonful of warm water
should be given ; and then, if the power of swallowing
have returned, small quantities of wine, warm brandy and
water, or coffee, simuld be administered. The patient
should be kept in bed and a disposition to sleep encouraged.
