RESUSCITATION OF DROWNED
PERSONS.

Persons are not unfrequently rescued from
the water apparently dead, who might yet be
resuscitated by the immediate application of
the appropriate means. The proper treatment
of such cases ought therefore to be generally
known. The following rules have been adopt
ed by the Board of Health, New York. If
every one who reads will carefully note and re-
member the main points he may be able at
some time to save life thereby.
THE RULES AND METHOD FOR SAVING THE
DROWNED.
Remember that the patient must be treated
instantly and on the spot where rescued.
He must be freely exposed to the open air, and
all persons not needed for serving him should
avoid crowding about him.
/. Let the throat and mouth be cleansed
by placing the patient gently face downwards
with one of his wrists under his forehead.
Quickly wipe and cleanse the mouth and if the
patient does not breathe Immediately begin the
following movements:
2. Posture. Place the patient on his back
with shoulders raised and supported easily on
folded coat or some kind of pillow.
8. To keep up a free entrance Of air into the
~,mdptpe Let one person grasp the tongue
gently and firmly with his fingers covered with
bit of handkerchief and drawing it out be-
yond the lips then either hold it or press the
chin up so as to retain the tongue protruding
from the mouth, but it is better to hold it in
that position with the hand.
4. To produce and irritate the movements
Of breathing. Raise the patients extended
arms upwards to the sides of his head and then
steadily, firmly and slowly outward and for
ward. Next turn down the arms by the pa
TENTS sides and bring them closely and firmly
and the sides and front of the chest gently but
strongly for a moment, then quickly begin to
repeat the first movement.
Let these two kinds of movements be made
very deliberately and without ceasing until the
patient breathes, and let the two movements
be repeated about twelve or fifteen times in a
minute but not more rapidly remembering that
TO thoroughly fill the lungs with air is the OBJ
Ject OF the first movement, (the upward one)
and to expel as much air as possible, is the
object of the second or downward motion and
pressure. This artificial breathing should be
kept up steadily for forty minutes or more
when the patient appears not to breathe, and
after the natural breathing begins let the same
motions be very gently continued.
If help and blankets are at hand have the
body stripped and wrapped in blankets, but do
not allow the movements to be stopped. APP
ply hartshorn on feather within the nostrils
occasionally, and sprinkle or slightly dash
cold water upon the face and neck. Give
brandy by the teaspoonful two or three times
a minute until the beating of the pulse can be
felt at the wrist, but be careful not to give
more Of the stimulant than is necessary.

I scarcely understood,

cess-a.id they are ashamed not to do so
Men who have paid me money owed by
their wives, would, ten to one, refuse to
let them have the amount-because a'man
can cheat and abuse his wife, and she will
keep still about it, while an outsider would
have no compunctions in making the mat
ter known. That's the truth in a nutshell

THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY.

The most of the newspaper articles which
have pretended to unveil great mysteries in
connection with the gubernatorial nomina-
ton and senatorial election of next winter,
are fine specimens of sensational political
writing, but beyond that very cheap quail
fication they are as worthless as the blank
paper upon which they are printed. They
are based upon supposition, and are guess
work from beginning to end. The very
intimate knowledge which they profess to
have OF mysterious operations, combina-
tons, concentrations, elaborated like a
story commencing with ga solitary horse
man." springs from the sheerest ignorance
of the matters pretended to be discussed,
and must create quite as much surprise
and merriment on the part of the individ-
uals said to be concerned as among the
general readers of the articles in question
If they knew more they would say less

HIT HELMBoLp, Duggist-DEAR SIR: have
been sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel bladder and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians experiencing but little relief
Having seen your preparations extensively adj
vertised, consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buchu
did this because had used all kinds of adver
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact despaired of ever
getting well, and determined TO use remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries it occurred to me and my phys
ician as an excellent combination: and with his ad-
vice, after an examination of the article and con-
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. commenced to use it about eight months ago,
at which time vas confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben.
eicial effect and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you
full statement Of my case at the time but thought
my improvement might only be temporary. and
therefore concluded to defer and see il 1t would
effect perfect cure, knowing that 1t wonld be of
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able TO report that cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as ever did.
