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
ers from Dr. J. E. Johansson, the ia
nous psychologist, who declared that
it was an article which should be
found in every hospital, on railway
trains and steamships or wherever ac-
cidents were liable to happen, claim
ing that it was especially easy to han
die by any person possessed of a lit
tie common sense. The result was
that a number of hospitals secured the
apparatus and have used it success
fully, principally in Germany, where
the Berlin firm, Inhabad Gesellschaft,
Is now manufacturing these articles,
having purchased the patent from Dr.
Fries Through this firm the appara-
tus has become widely known in Eu-
rope and America and at the medical
congress in Groeningen and at the
congress in Washington last summer
1t was awarded the Red Cross prize
and given the most hearty approval by
world famous physicians. The appa-
ratus already has been introduced in
England, France, America and Ger
many. In Germany alone not less
than 500 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 puEmoter has
been used, The apparatus has been
greatly improved recently through a
little 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 impor
lance in resusciation cases. There
have been cases where the apparatus
has been used several minutes after
the accident happened and although
it 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.
