The Public utilities Commission has

will be effective i'll spreading this
knowledge in such way that human

The commi ssion has been led to take
this action because recently there have
occurred in this State Geaths result

every reason to believe that the victims
could have been revived and restored
to their normal place in society had the
method described been utilized This
chart is published with the hope that
those who are called upon to give first

have a knowledge Of this simple but
