About two years ago DR.. Allan Fries
Invented and demonstrated an appa-
ratus for artificial breathing, which
won the most ample praise from diff
ferent medical authorities, among 9th.
e:a from DR.. !. E. j .Johansson, the IA
nous rhysiolcsist, who declared that
it was an article which should be
found in every. hospital, on railway
trains and steamships or wherever &C.
cidents were Liable t1happen, claim.
ing that it was especially easy to han
die BY any person possessed OF lit
tic common sense. The result was
that u number of hospitals secured the
apparatus and have used it success
fully. principally in Germany, where
the Berlin, firm, Inhabad Gesellschaft,
is row manufacturing these articles,
ha.ing purchased the patent from Or.
Fries. Through this. firm the appara.
tus has become. widely known in Eu.
rope and America and at the medical
congress in Groen!ngen and at the
congress in Washington last summer
it VAS awarded the Red Cross prize
and siycn the most hearty approval by
world fa,roNs physicians. The appa-
.'atus already has been introduced In
.Hrgland, France, America and Ger
many. In Germany alone not less
than COO were sold last year. 1t
comes in wonderfully handy in saving
lives at bathing resorts, in mines and
At all sorts of construction places and
in factories, in fact any place where
accidents are. liable to happen and
where hitherto the pulmoter has
seen used. The apparatus has been
~reatly improved recently through a
title ingenious device by means of
which the air is sucked out and press
ed into the lungs Of the patient, which
naturally is of the most vital *lnpurs
lance in resusciation cases. There
have been cases where the apparatus
has been used several minutes after
the accident happe1ed and although
1t has some times taken hours to Sc:
cure respiration it has nevertheless
been successful in most cases. It has
already saved scores of persons who
were pronounced dead. -
