TRACTION ON TONGUE.
This Is tho New Method Of Saving the
Drowning.

This Is the New Method Of Saving the
Drowning. i 5F
What is called the Laborde method
is a surprising, simple and effective
method Of reviving the drowning. The
asphyxiated person is placed on his
back, with the head low, the clothing
is loosened about the neck and the
jaws are opened and kept open by a
wedge passed between the molar
teeth; a knife handle, cane end or
any suitable object Of a size sufficient
to keep the jaws distended will serve
the purpose. The throat is freed Of
mucus by the finger wrapped in fold
or handkerchief. Tratcion on the
tongue is then begun in the following
manner: The thumb and index fin
ger are covered by one thickness of a
handkerchief to prevent the tongue
slipping, and the, tongue is seized as
far back as possible from the tip. Fif-
teen times to the minute at about
equal intervals the tongue is pulled
out sharply and the tension imme-
diately relaxed. This traction must
be so exerted that the whole body of
the tongue is affected and not merely
the tip. AS the tongue is drawn out
to its fullest extent the first two or
three times it facilitates action if the
index finger Of the other hand is gent
ly thrust in the pharynx. as though an
effort were made to induce vomiting.
These fractions should be kept up at
least thirty minutes and may be con-
tinued an hour without result, but
ought not to be discontinued under
that time or even longer, for many
persons have been restored to life and
health who have been pronounced
dead over an hour. II assistants are
at hand 1t is well to supplement tho
above method by the use Of mechanical
artificial respiration according to me-
