the nose and mouth. 7. Apply warm bricks, bottles, bags of sand, etc.,
to the arm pits, between the thighs, and to the soles of the feet. 8.
Rub the surface of the body with the hands inclosed in warm, dry
worsted socks. 9. If possible, put the body into a warm bath. 10. To
restore breathing, put the pipe of a common bellows into one nostril,
carefully closing the other, and the mouth; at the same time drawing
downwards, and pushing gently backwards, the upper part of the
windpipe, to allow a more free admission of air; blow the bellows
gently, in order to inflate the lungs, till the breast is raised a
little; then set the mouth and nostrils free, and press gently on the
chest; repeat this until signs of life appear. The body should be
covered from the moment it is placed on the table, except the face, and
all the rubbing carried on under the sheet or blanket. When they can be
obtained, a number of tiles or bricks should be made tolerably hot in
the fire, laid in a row on the table, covered with a blanket, and the
body placed in such a manner on them that their heat may enter the
spine. When the patient revives, apply smelling-salts to the nose, give
warm wine or brandy and water. _Cautions._--1. Never rub the body with
salt or spirits. 2. Never roll the body on casks. 3. Continue the
remedies for twelve hours without ceasing.

HANGING.--Loosen the cord, or whatever it may be by which the person
has been suspended. Open the temporal artery or jugular vein, or bleed
from the arm; employ electricity, if at hand, and proceed as for
drowning, taking the additional precaution to apply eight or ten
leeches to the temples.

APPARENT DEATH FROM DRUNKENNESS--Raise the head, loosen the clothes,
maintain warmth of surface, and give a mustard emetic as soon as the
person can swallow.

APOPLEXY AND FITS GENERALLY.--Raise the head; loosen all tight clothes,
strings, etc.; apply cold lotions to the head, which should be shaved;
apply leeches to the temples, bleed, and send for a surgeon.

SUFFOCATION FROM NOXIOUS GASES, ETC.--Remove to the fresh air; dash
cold vinegar and water in the face, neck, and breast; keep up the
warmth of the body; if necessary, apply mustard poultices to the soles
of the feet and to the spine, and try artificial respirations as in
drowning, with electricity.

LIGHTNING AND SUNSTROKE.--Treat the same as apoplexy.
