Saving Life by self-Inhation.


DR.. Henry Sylvester, who is widely
known as the author of the best method
of resuscitation of the apparently
drowned publishes in the London
Lancet q method which he claims will
prevent persons from drowning. The
method which he presses is to distesd
the skin of the neck and upper part of
the chest sufficiently with air to sup
port the weight of the body when inn
mersed, the imitation being effected by
the person himself by means of his
hangs without the Intervention of APP
planes. The necessary operation
consists in making small puncture,
not larger than necessary to allow of
the passage of a small blowpipe, in the
mucous membrane of the mouth, the
object being to open a communication
for the passage OF air from the cavity
of the mouth into the simultaneous
space of the neck. The situation
chosen for the puncture is in the angle
formed between the gum of the lower
jaw and the side of the molar tooth of
the lower jaw. The point of the in
strumont perforating should be passed
down a short distance between the skin
of the face and the superficial f2cia of
the neck, its point being guided by the
finger placed on the outside of the face
and neck, taking care not to puncture
either the skin or the supertiuous facia
This having been done and the instru-
ment removed in order to initiate the
skin of the neck and chest, the person
should close the mouth and nose, and
make a succession of forcible eXpira-
tory efforts, when the air contained in
the cavity of the mouth will pass freely
into the simultaneous tissue of the
neck. These exploratory efforts, inspi-
ration being effected through the nos
trils, should be continued until the
skin is fully distended with air, which
will pass readily to both sides Of the
neck and down to the chest as far as
the nipples; and this is all that is re-
quired to render the body buoyant in
water. Should it so happen that the
superficial facia has been puncturcd
and the air passed beneath it, the only
difference in effect would be that the
extent of air would be limited by the
attachments OF that membrane to the
clayical below and the border of the
jaw above The amount of air which
the skin Of the average neck is capable
of holding without undue distension
has been measured, and found to be
enough to support ten pounds, and is
amply sufficient to support the body
immersed in water The time required
for initiation is found to be less than
three minutes. The neck may be kept
in an inflated condition by closing the
puncture by pressure on the outside OF
the cheek by the finger, or by keeping
the mouth distended with air; and
when required, the air may be immedi-
ately discharged from the neck by al
lowing the puneture TO remain open,
or by suction

Not the Man They Took Him For.

Until few years ago there were two
brothers living in this city, who resem-
bled each other so closely that it was
almost impossible to distinguish one
from tho other, the identity extending
to the voice, expression OF the face ana
even the movement in walking. One
of the brothers, who is travelling
agent for shoe firm here, boards at a
well-known hotel in the city, while the
other has been living East. About two
weeks ago the Rochester brother left
the city, stating that he expected TO be
gone some months, but last week to
all appearances returned to the hotel.
Another drummer, who was well ac-
quainted with the shoe man, walked up
and with "hullo, old boy, what
brought YOU back so soon?' slapped
him on the back. The newcomer quick
ly turned and with an expression of as
constituent on his face paralyzed the
drummer by saying, You're mistaken
in the man. sir, and walked off. Soon
another gentleman came up and spoke
TO him, but was not recognized. Then
it began to be whispered around that
the Rochester man, who is very fond of
Joke, was making game OF them, ana
every one, even to the slightest nc
quaintance of his, was induced to stop
and shake hands with the apparent
stranger even employees at the hotel
laughing at him when he asked where
the dining-room was. This state of
affairs has been going on day after day,
and few will be aware that they have
been speaking to an entire stranger un-
til they read this article. The fact is
that it is the Rochester mans brother
who has been at the hotel. Singular
as it may seem, the brother by accident
came to the city on business and stop
ped at the same hotel, Their similar
appearance has caused the confusion,
and undoubtedly some apology will be
offered to-day. The Rochester man is
still out West, entirely ignorant of the
whole affair. Rochester Democrat
