 The movements of artificial res piration should be begun at once ai soon as tho patient has been removed from the water, and no time should be lost in removing or loosening the clothing. As soon as taken from the water lay the patient on his stomach with outstretched arms, the face turned to one sido. the operator kneol ing astride. or to ons side of the patient.
 'Place the hands on the small al the back of tho patient. one on eaot side. with the thumbs parallel. Bend forward with outatretched arms. Ht that the weight of the operator will rest on hts wrist joints. and so mako even. strong downward pressure upon the lower ribs and loins of the patient and romain so whilo counting slowly 1-A8. Tho operator then swings back, taking away tho pressure on his hands, which aro kept in the same position, and remains so while count ing slowly 1--2--3.
 "This forward and backward move rnent, producing and relieving the pree sure on the loins, Is to be maintained without noticeable intermisson at the rate of about twelve tisnes n minute The pressure drives the air from the lungs, the removal of the pressure draws the air in again.
