estations:_
After reaction is fully established there is great danger of
congestion of the lungs, and if perfect rest is not maintained for at
least forty-eight hours, it sometimes occurs that the patient is
seized with great difficulty of breathing, and death is liable to
follow unless immediate relief is afforded. In such cases apply a
large mustard plaster over the breast. If the patient gasps for breath
before the mustard takes effect, assist the breathing by carefully
repeating the artificial respiration.

=IF ONE PERSON MUST WORK ALONE.=

MODIFICATION OF RULE III

[_To be used after Rules I and II in case no assistance is at hand_]

_To Produce Respiration._--If no assistance is at hand, and one person
must work alone, place the patient on his back with the shoulders
slightly raised on a folded article of clothing; draw forward the
tongue and keep it projecting just beyond the lips; if the lower jaw
be lifted, the teeth may be made to hold the tongue in place; it may
be necessary to retain the tongue by passing a handkerchief under the
chin and tying it over the head.[3]

Grasp the arms just below the elbows and draw them steadily upward by
the sides of the patient's head to the ground, the hands nearly
meeting. (See Fig. 4.)

Next lower the arms to the side, and press firmly downward and
inward on the sides and front of the chest over the lower ribs,
drawing arms toward the patient's head. (See Fig. 5.)

Repeat these movements twelve to fifteen times every minute, etc.

=INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAVING DROWNING PERSONS BY SWIMMING TO THEIR
RELIEF.=

1. When you approach a person drowning in the water, assure him, with
a loud and firm voice, that he is safe.

2. Before jumping in to save him, divest yourself as far and as
quickly as possible of all clothes; tear them off, if necessary; but
if there is not time, loose at all events the foot of your drawers, if
they are tied, as, if you do not do so, they fill with water and drag
you.

3. On swimming to a person in the sea, if he be struggling do not
seize him then, but keep off for a few sec
