MASSACHUSETTS MAN BUILDS
MACHINE WHICH HE SAYS
WILL PROLONG LIFE.
Believes That Il Will Work Wonder.
IF Put Into Practical Use
Will Restore Life.

bridge street, Worcester, Mass, has
applied for a patent for his resource.
ton machine which, he says he be-
lieves will not only prolong life but
will. If applied in time. restore breath
to body apparently dead.
Mr.. Lord had blue prints made
from the plans of his machine and
with much enthusiasm ne pointed out
the features of his invention.
The plans represent an air-tight
room with a patient lying inside on
a cot or bed, with his face against a
small hole in the wall, so that it is
connected with the outside of the room.
1.-The room," said Lord, will be
with safety valves, which will give
any pressure desired. There will be
two pumps, one to pump in fresh air
and the other to pump out air,
so that the amount of pressure re-
mains the same in the ROOM
To get compulsory respiration
which will enable the patient to
breathe absolutely without effort, it
will require three pounds more pres
sure inside of the room to push the air
out of the patient The pressure be-
ing ordinarily fifteen pounds to the
square foot, this means that in Or
der to get the air from the patients
lungs the pressure inside must be
eighteen pounds.
To push the air back into the lungs
there must be pressure of fifteen
pounds outside and twelve pounds in
side. BY reversing this pressure in
side and outside continually the pa
tient will get good muscular respira-
ton without any muscular effort what
ever.
To merely assist the patient in
breathing, the pressure outside may
be used in serious cases when the
pounds.
The compulsory respiration should
be used in serious cases when the
patient is almost too exhausted to
breathe, or has almost if not entire
ly stopped breathing. In drowning
accidents my machine will be a god
send. There will be no more need
of rolling a person on a barrel and
beating his body to pieces in an eff
fort to make the patient breathe and
eject the water from his lungs. My
machine will do the trick easier and
with better success 1t will pull the
water from the lungs and get the
breathing apparatus into working
order again.
"a Worcester physician said to me
a little while after I had given MIN a
vague outline of my invention You
claim that you have discovered some
thing that will have perfect
pure oxygen and send it piration. A
perfect respiration means perfect
circulation of the blood, and if these
two things can be brought about no
disease can possibly exist"
my machine, I honestly believe,
will produce perfect respiration, that
will feed the blood with pure oxygen
and send it pumping through the small
est veins. 1t will make people young
smooth the wrinkles out of the skin
and make the body strong and V1gor-
Gus. If it will make people young
again 1 don't know but that I have
undertaken an awful pob, for my
house would probably be besieged with
old persons wanting to taste the
elixir of life and be young and spry
once more.
I'VE all know that human power Is
the most expensive power there IS.
NV machine will be run by steam. 1
do not wish to be SO foolish as to claim
that my invention will restore every
body to life. Because a person mas
stopped breathing it is really no sign
that he is dead. There may be stlii
a spark of life there, and if my ma
chine is applied in time and the res
piration started the spark may De
famed into new life"
