attempt at inspiration which is impossl

A very few repelitions Of this process
takes place, the blood rests unpurified
the person drops, and but TOO offer
drops never 10 be Terminated.
I'VE must remove ihe collapsed state
Of the lungs; we must furnish then
with that fluid by which alone they car
effect the us cessary change on the &C
cumulated blood which they already
contain. A little blood from the vein:
has already run, no doubt, through the
heart and the arteries; ahd it is proba
bly, this very cause, which sometime;
renders Termination impossible, even
after the lungs are dilatcd for the ven
Gus blood is the most deadly poison tG
those parts which were wont to be
touched only by arlerial blood. Bat
The important fact is, that the vessels OF
The lungs are now touched with venous
blood. and that this one process only ia
capable Of driving it through them--the
expansion Of the cells Of the lungs By AR.
:. This, in his present state, the per-
son cannot do for himself, and some one
must do ii for him. There is still de-
gree Of irtitabllity lingering in the
lungs, and in the blood vessels, which
Family through them; but it is fleet
ing irritabilily. There is no time TO go
in search of bellows, by introducing
which into one of the nostrils, the lungs
might be inflated, or of any flexible
tube, such as a gum-elasiic catheier,
which might be bent through the, mouth
or through the nose, into the chink OF
the windpipe-a cou:rivance, which, II
employed within certain time Tor III
falling the lungs, would generally Sc
cure the return of life. The man is
dragged upon the bank OF the water,
and what we eau do must be done now
or never. Close his mouth, press back
the top of his windpipe that the air may
not run down through his guIIet mere
" into his stomach, put your month 10
his nostrils, and blow with force aud tor
some time. This, conceive, is what
we have TO do, and what we ought 10
repeat; and, if this do not succeed IN
exciting, first of all, convulsiYe sob,
and then gradual and difficult renewal
Of respiration, am afraid that no other
means will succeed.
If we have the assistance OF anoth-
er person, or of several persons, they
ought not to be idle. Let one OF them,
kneeling down behind the inanimate
person, endeavor to make the chest im-
itate the alternate enlargement and
d;minution which it undergoes in natuI-
ii inspiration aud txPiruti0n.
"The other assistants, if others. there
happen % be, may dry and warm the
body and, if opportunity serves, gils'
ter of warm wine may be administered
but lei nothing Interfere with the at
tempt to restore respiration.
81 should never spend time in con-
veyiug the body TO house, nor should
| set about drawing blood from the per-
sons arm, nor should | be very anxious
about restoring to him his natural
warmth.
Now, in place Of all these, and ma
ny other long-winded direction would
simply say, lufate the Lungs.
s"The same method is 10 be followed
in cases of suffocation by foul air, only
let it be carefully recoIlected that, it
such cases, it has been found one of the
best restoralives TO Dash cold water il
palfuIIs over the surface of the body.
