e the nostrils with snuff or smelling-salts, or tickle the
throat with a feather. Rub the chest and face briskly, and dash cold and
hot water alternately on them. Friction of the limbs and body with dry
flannel or cloths should be had recourse to. When there is proof of
returning respiration, the individual may be placed in a warm bath, the
movements of the arms above described being continued until respiration
is fully restored. Raise the body in twenty seconds to a sitting
position, dash cold water against the chest and face, and pass ammonia
under the nose. Should a galvanic apparatus be at hand, apply the
sponges to the region of the diaphragm and the heart.

_To Induce Circulation and Warmth._--Wrap the patient in dry blankets,
and rub the limbs upward energetically. Promote the warmth of the body
with hot flannels, bottles or bladders of hot water; heated bricks to
the pit of the stomach, the arm-pits, and to the soles of the feet.

On the restoration of life, when the power of swallowing has returned, a
teaspoonful of warm water, small quantities of wine, warm brandy and
water, or coffee should be given. The patient should be kept in bed, and
a disposition to sleep encouraged. During reaction, large
mustard-plasters to the chest and below the shoulders will greatly
relieve the distrest breathing.

NOTE.--In all cases of prolonged immersion in cold water, when the
breathing continues, a warm bath should be employed to restore the
temperature.
