Raising the left arm as high as
you can will relieve choking much
more rapidly than the act Of thump-
ing ones back" said a physician,
land It Is well that every one should
know it, for often a person gets
choked while eating where there is
no one near to thump him. Very
frequently at meals and when they
are at play, children get choked
while eating, and the customary
manner of relieving them is TO slap
them sharply on the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstrue-
ton free, The same thing can be
brought about by raising the left
hand of the child as high as possi-
Bile, and the relief comes much more
quickly. In happenings Of this kind
there should be no alarm, for If the
child sees that older persons or par
ents get excited the effect IS bad. The
best thing is to tell the child to raise
ITS left arm, ana ume5iately the
difaeultv passes away"
