IL appears from the statements of inter-

OF the Vanderbilt family at the reading OF the

the dissatisfaction felt by the children OF the
departed Commodore, each OF whom. except

MARSHALL HALL's RULES FOR TIL

MARSHALL HALLS RULES FOR THE
REsUsCITATIoN OF PERSONS AP-
PAREN TLY DROWNED.
AS the summer season brings its
usual long list of casualties at the sea-
shore and on inland lakes and streams,
it will be well to cut out and carry in
ones pocket-book DR.. Marshall Halls
plain rules for the treatment of per-
sons overcome by immersion in the
water;
!. Treat the patient instantly. on
the spot, in The open air, freely expos
ing the face, neck and chest to the
breeze, except in very severe weather.
2. Send with all speed for medical
aid and for articles of clothing,
blankets, etc.
I. TO Clear the Throat.-3. Place
the patient gently on the face, with
one wrist under the forehead. All
fluids, and the tongue itself, then fall
forward, and leave the entrance into
the windpipe free.
III. To Excite Respiration.-4.
Turn the patient slightly on his side I;
apply snuff or other irritant to the
nostrils, and dash cold water on the
face, previously rubbed briskly until
it is warm. If there be no success lose
no time, but apply the third rule.
III. TO Initiate Respiration.-5.
Replace the patient on his face. g..
Turn the body gently but completely
on the side, and little beyond, and
then on the face, alternately, repe at
ing these measures deliberately. effi-
GENTLY and perseveringly, 15 times in
the minute only. CThis number of
thoracic movements per minute agrees
with the natural order of respiratory
thoracic dilatations and contractions,
corresponding with slow movement
of the heart, averaging something less
than 60 pulsations per minute, and
therefore merits due attention The
rationale of the operation is this :
When the patient reposes on the
thorax, this cavity is compressed by
the weight of the body, and expira-
ton is promoted; when he is turned
on the side this pressure is removed,
and inspiration is facilitated. I. When
the prone position is resumed make
equable but efficient pressure along
the spine, removing it Immediately
before rotation on the side. (The first
measure augments expiration, the
second commences inspiration.)
". TO Induce Circulation and
Warmth.-S. Continuing these meas
ures, rub the limbs upward with a
firm pressure and with energy, using
handkerchiefs, etc. o. Replace the
patients wet clothing by such othel
covering as can be instantly procured,
each bystander supplying coat oil
waistcoat. Meanwhile, and from
time to time, proceed to the fifth rule.
V. TO Excite Inspiration. - 10,
Let the suface of the body be slapped
briskly with the hand or. II. Let
cold water be dashed briskly on the
surface previously rubbed dry and
warm.
