To. Resuscitate the Asphyxiated.

Rythnical traction of the tongue has
long been one of the most effective
means of revivius a person who has
been drowned. Dr. Labrode, who has
carried on extensive investigation on the
effect of tongue traction as a means of
sresusctation, maintains that often. al-s
though the organism has apparently
ceased to live externally. 1t lives inter.
nally. That Is to say, life Is still latent,
and while there is latent life there is q
hope of saving a drowned or asphyxi-y
sated person. The function which it is
most necessary to revive Is the respira
tory. Experimenting upon dogs. DR.. La
horde found that two or three hours aft
ter apparent death had set in it was
sometimes possible to secure resuscita-
ton. A vigorous half bulldog weighins:
thirty-iivc pounds was chloroformed -
such an extent that respiration had ell
tirely ceased. After a quarter OF an hours
traction of the tongue the animal came
to. The experiment was tried again until
complete asphyxiatlon had occurred, and
traction was not resorted to till five min
utes later. The dog, who has appropriatss-
ly been named Lazarus, this time appear
ed to be dead. Ono hour and two hours
of traction followed, with no result. but
after another half hour a respiratory
cough showed that life was present The
dog soon revived. 1t occurred to DIR.
Ieborde that it would be a good idea to
substitute a mechanical device for the
cloth covered hand. The first apparatus
made Was driven By clock-work. Tho
more improved apparatus now used is
operated by an electric motor BY mean,

The early married life of the pair was
not smooth one. The only income they
possessed being Christians salary as cap
tain in the guards, he was forced. 1t is
told, to exc out the support of his family
by giving drawing lessons at Jugenheim
and Frankfort on the-Aiain.
Even with this added source OF finance
his income was SO small that his wife
and daughters, Alexandra and Dagmar,
had to do their own housework and make
their own clothes.
Matters went along In this way till 1852,
when Frederick VII, the occupant of the
throne at that time. having no offspring,
the powers decided that a successor
should be appointed.
The nearest heir was Princess Louise
of Hesse. wife of Prince Christian; so
by mutual consent he was appointed as
heir to the Danish throne by the treaty
4 of London.
| BY this agreement he was given the
title of Royal Highness, an income of
10000 rigsdalcr (s55.e0o) and palace in
