that a man has died from lack of breath that if breath was vas all ho lie needed he should have lived considering that air is is the most plen ticul resource of nature having as ical economists would say no value ba cause of its abundance one would think that dr de baun had bad made no lar discovery but there is is more in his hi statement than is apparent at first I 1 from time immemorial physicians have directed their ingenuity toward an effective application of this wealth of air but without satisfactory results cases of suspended animation come un der their notice every day men are rescued from the water after a liard hard bat tie tle with the waves wa es their lungs filled with water the lifes life a action suspended in the majority of instances restoration of 0 animation cannot be effected the lungs may be emptied of the water tho the life giving air so abundant is at hand and if it could only be forced into the file organs and respiration started life could be re dewed physicians ph sic ians efforts to solve the problem have been unceasing but says dr de baun misdirected 6 when a man is rescued from the wa ater the first thing done is is to empty tho tile lungs of water by rolling him on a bar rel or lifting him from tho the ground head downward then he la is laid on bis his back the arms raisch raised to expand the lunge lungs and a rhth mio contraction and expansion of tho the chest walls effected by ul alternate ternate pressure and relaxation sometimes the forcing process has been kept up for hours with ultimate success but considering the possibilities recognized in artificial respiration tho the results hao have been far from encouraging dr do baun has worked on an entirely new line and the result of his experiments and observation is a method of internal int ernil respiration which he be claims cannot possibly fail his attention att eption wag first directed to tho the subject by a case of suspended animation in a newly born child it has been tho the practice in in such cases to force air air into the lungs of tho the infant by breathing into its mouth and then contracting the e lungs by pressure upon the chest but this has been found not only intensely disagreeable but high ly inefficient dr de do baun decided to try a new ex bedient ent he passed a email small rubber tube through the nose of tho the infant and down into the throat dosing the mouth he lie forced air air through the tube from a rubber barbag bag inflating the lungs then releasing the pressure from the mouth found as expected that the elasticity of the muscles of the chest caused immediate contraction of tho the lungs forming a complete respiration this was kept up for 45 minutes when natural respiration had been restored and a life had been caved saved since then dr do baun iun has per fectea this hastily improvised apparatus and finds that animation may be often se a stored within 15 minutes the apparatus is as simple as it is in genious it consists of a long rubber tube near ono one end of which is is a piece of soft rubber with which to cover tho the mouth and nose at the other end aio are two rubber bulbs after tho tile tube has been inserted between the teeth teth and the mouth and nose covered slightly tho the lower bulb is compressed forcing air into tho the second bulb which acts as a res benoir er voir this second bulb is much more noro elastic than the other and maintains a steady pressure of air through tho the tube it is covered with loose netting which w aich acts as a sort of safety alve valve against overpressure the tube is fitted with a stopcock that may way be used to lend force to tho the first few respirations I 1 A few compressions of the lower bulb I 1 are sufficient to fill the lungs then tho the pressure on nose and mouth is relaxed and the lunga lungs are emptied by the natural elasticity of the muscles of the chest this elasticity remains even after death and with this instrument it is quite possible to make a dead man regularly as long as the th application continues in some of tho the doctor doctors s experiments on dead godies this sl sunu i mu lation of life has been absolutely startling 0 I 1 it is not for dead men however that the 11 11 as it is called lias has been devised but for men who have been brought apparently to deaths door by asphyxiation from gas and water v ater in the latter case the lungs must first be emptied the apparatus weighs but a few ounces it ia is not patented as dr do baun daun is a strict observer of medical eth les which declare that the discoveries of a physician belong to the world ho he is treasurer of tho the state board of medical examiners of new jersey and has in vented several valuable surgical inspru bents and
