A few weeks ago Bar Harbor physicians
agitated the plan OF purchasing pull
motor for the general use OF physicians
and others in cases of asphyxistion.
They were saved the expense OF going
down into their own pockets to buy the
machine by the generosity OF summer
resident who bought the pulmotor for the
town. Ellsworth has had q pulmotor for
more than two years. 1t was installed
here by the Bar Harbor d Union River
Power Co., and is for the tree use OF
physicians or others anywhere in Els
worth or vicinity where it could be taken.
The pulmotor is kept at the power house
Of the company, as this is open night and
day, for when the pulmotor is needed, 1t
will be needed in q hurry. Many lives
have been saved by the timely use OF the
pulmotor, in cases OF asphyxiation by
water, gas, ETC., or in cases Of electric
shock. Physicians OF Ellsworth are in
vited by the power company to instruct
themselves in the use of the pulmotor. 1t
is suggested that they should appoint
day to meet at the power house for
demonstration OF the machine. Supt.
Cushman would be glad to arrange such
demonstration at any time TO meet the
convenience of physicians.
