of lapse of time and faultineSS of
the indictments.

Battles Fear
Nurse Depends Too
Much on Mechanical
Lung for Sleep.

By United Press
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.-Frances
~ Mccain, 25-year- old nurse,
kept alive two months by me-
chanical lung, fought today
against a new Observation-Disclosures
habitual dependence on the res
pirator.
For the first time since infan-
tile paralysis deadened her lung
muscles, she awoke in a hospital
bed, temporary victor over her fear
that sleeping outside the respira-
tor might mean death.
DR.. John Favill, the physician
attending her at st. Luke's hos
pital, praised her courage in over
coming her panic, and told her
she was almost ready to breathe
alone.
The student nurses reluctance
to sleep while outside the machine
has been the major difficulty in
her otherwise uninterrupted re-
covery.
Hospital attendants explained
that while her desire to get we'll
has caused her to minimize the
pain she experiences in breathing
alone, her convaIescence has been
complicated by her insistence that
she be in the machine while
asleep.
However, Miss Mccain is aware
of the Importance of her own
strengthening muscles rcsuming
the functions that have been
done by the machine, and has
promised to master her fears.
A hubbard tub, tank shaped
like a stemless four-leaf clover,
filled with water warmed to body
temperature, has been brought
into use to assist the nurse in
regaining her strength. The
waters buoyancy relieves her
muscles of some of the strain of
exercise.
