CAPT W. o. HIcKoK-wEIGHT THRowE1.
The main pavilion looked gloomy and
unhappy. as streams Of rain water
marred its dark blue decoration and
drenched the American and English
flags which graced the structure.
Consequently all those interested in
athletic sports felt decidedly blue this
morning, and hopes were expressed that
the contest might be postponed until tho
grounds were In more favorable condi-
ton. But no amount of bad weather
could dampen the enthusiasm OF the
people, and 1t was expected that long
before the hour fixed upon for the first
event the vast majority of the fifty
thousand people expected TO witness the
struggle for athletic supremacy between
Val. and oxford would crowd into the
grounds.

rory of English athletics or recent years
has attracted half the interest whlcn
centred to-day in the events TO be de-

The champion University team OF Eng
land was to meet the champion Cniver-

MUST BE MADE TO BREATHE
How to Deal With Apparent Death From
an Electric Shock.
Directions for Securing APtiAefal Res
piratiOn-A Prolonged Faint and
the Method Of ResuscftatiOn.

Argustin II. Goelet. Md. in the Electrical World
Much interest has recently been excited
by the report from France Of the resusci-
tation of a man apparently killed by cleo
tricity. and by the announcement of the
French scientist dArsonval that a person
so shocked should be treated as one drowned.
The suggestion is a good one, but may be
somewhat misleading unless Ii Is under
stood; that Is, unless the person undertake
ing the resuscitation appreciates what Is to
be accomplished and Just how 1t Is to be
done
AS this authority says. an electric shock
may produce death In one of Two ways,
viz:
~ By producing destructive tissue
changes, when death Is absolute; or ca, by
producing sudden arrest Of the respiratory
and heart muscles through excitement OF
the nerve centers, when death Is only ap-
parent; In other words, animation Is merely
suspended. The subject may be aroused
from this syncope II efforts at resuscita-
ton are not too long delayed.
The alternating current, which In usually
regarded as the most deadly, strange to
say. nearly always produces death in this
second manner.
All things considered. 1t IL rational to at
tempt the resuscitation Of those apparently
killed by electricity. and II not too long de-
layed, the effort promises fair chances Of
oeN~SoSs PAS's~SN b@oRSA AAAS~AAS $50 A~AS@N'
tuted.
II the body has actually been submitted
to q current of SUFFICIENT volume to produce
destructive tissue changes. all efforts at
resuscitation will. Of course. be futile.
II. on the other hand. only respiration and
the hearts action have been temporarily
arrested. there IL q condition Of syncope
Stimulating apparent death by drowning.
or from anaesthetics. and the physician
knows that patients In this condition are
frequently revived Laymen will appre-
ciate the nature Of this condition II 1t IL ex-
would not feel appalled, upon encountering
1t. In an ordinary fainting spell the neces-
In syncope resulting from an electric shock
stimulation Is likewise indicated. but more
vigorous measures are required. This Is
the only difference.
As said above. the direction to treat one
shocked by electricity as one drowned may
be misleading. as the conception OF the lay
man Of the necessities In this case would
be to roll the body on q barrel Let him un-
derstand that the condition Is one Of exag-
gerated faint, that the necessity Is for
prompt stimulation, and that the quickest
and most powerful stimulant which can
be employed Is artificial respiration. The
man must be made to breathe, II this Ii
possible. and efforts to induce respiration
mrst not be suspended until breathing is
fully and normally restored or until 1t Is
absolutely certain that life Is extinct. This
cannot be assured in less than an hours
persistent, energetic, tireless effort.

The body must be placed upon the back.
A roll made of a coat or anything else con-
venient trolled, not folded is placed under
the shoulders, and must be sufficiently large
TO so Prop the spine W as 20 drop the head
backward. The operator should kneel be-
hind the subjects head. facing him, grasp
the elbows and draw them well over the
head to bring them almost together
above it, and hold them there for two or
three seconds. Then he carries them down
TO the sides and front of the chest. firmly
COMPRISING 1t by throwing his weight up
on them. After two or three seconds the
arms are again carried above the head and
the same narrower is repeated, at the rate
of fifteen or sixteen times per minute. AT
the same time the tongue must be drawn
out 10 free the throat. This manipulate ton
stimulates respiration in the following man
ner, viz: When the arms are extended over
the head, the chest walls are expanded,
just as in inspiration. and il the throat Is
clear the air will rush into the lungs. When
the arms are brought down to the sides of
tie chest, COMPRISING II, the air Is ex-
PEELED. just in expiration.
This is the most convenient and reliable
manner of inducing artificial respiration. 1t
is known as Sylvester's method. The oper-
ator must. however, appreciate the fact that
this manipulation must be executed with
methodical elaboration just described
and never hurriedly nor half-heartedly. To
grasp the arms and move them rapidly up
and down like a pump handle is both absurd
and absolutely useless.
A stimulant of Respiration.
In addition to this. IL an assistant be at
hand, the tongue. held by a cloth or hand
kerchief to prevent slipping, should be
seized and drawn forcibly out during the act
Of inspiration or when the arms are extend
ed above the head, and when the chest Is
compressed 1t may be allowed to recede
This rhythmical traction upon the tongue is
in itself an excellent stimulant of respira-
ton 1t acts not only by freeing the throat
OF the tongue, which may fall back and OBJ
struct breathing. but also by q reflex irri-
tation. through the fraenum or bride under
the tongue being drawn forcibly against the
lower teeth.
Should these efforts fail to elicit any
response or arouse any signs of life, re-
course may be had to another method of
stimulation by exciting the dormant nerve
centers. This should. however. be reserved
for the physician. who should always be
summoned by one who realizes the injury
that may be done If 1t is carelessly prac-
tced.
