At once cut any compressing band around throat ; if necessary, commence artificial respiration, pulling out tongue to secure it. ' ^' » Choking,-Boldly but firmly, carry thumb and fore- finger to back of mouth to hook obstruction forward or ay patient on back, kneel on stomach, and strike on cheek : tins will result m vomiting. Hanging— Cut rope at once; commence artificial respiration, if necessaiy. ARTIFICAL RESPIRATION. This should be employed in cases of accident or poisoning, wher breathing has become very feeble or has ceased, as m cases of hanging drowning suff-ocation etc. (Persevere m efforts to restore life until arrival of medical assistance, or until pulse and breathing have ceased for two hours or more). DROWNING. Place body on ground with face downward, a pad or tolded coat under stomach, with forehead resting on folded arm ; with pressure on back over pad, all fluid will escape trom mouth ; (on no account hold patient up by the feet)- after a mmute roll him on his back and commence artifi^ cial respiration, thus: — Patient being on his back, on flat surface, inclined a Jittle from feet upwards, place small firm cushion, or rolled up article of clothing, under shoulder blades. If not 130 RULES AND REGULATIONS. n already done, remove all ti^ht clothing from neck and chest; cleanse mouth and nostrils; open mouth, draw forward tongue and keep it so by elastic band round it and chin ; kneel at patients head, grasp his arms, raise them upwards, by side of head, and stretch them steadily but gently upwards, for two seconds (this will draw air into lungs by raising ribs). Immediately turn down patients arms,) pressing them firmly but gently downwards against sides of chest, for two seconds, (this will expel foul air from lungs, by depressing ribs). Repeat these measures alternately delibei-ately, and perse veringly, fifteen times in a minute, until spo^taneou3 effort to respire be perceived (this will produce exchange of air in lungs similar to that of natural respiration). During above treatment excite nostrils with snuff or smelling salts, or tickJe throat with feather. Rub chest and face briskly and dash on them cold and hot water alternately. Friction limbs and body with dry flannel or cloths. When spontaneous effort to respire is perceived, cease to imitate movements of breathing, and induce circulation and warmth ; wrap patient in dry blankets, rub limbs upwards firmly and energetically ; promote warmth of body by hot flannels, bottles or bladders of hot water, heated bricks, to the pit of the stomach, the armpits, and to the soles of the feet. On restoration of life when power of swallowing has retur- ned, give a teaspoonful of warm water small quantities of wine, warm brandy and water or coffee. Keep patient in bed, and encourage sleep. During reaction large mustard plasters to chest and below shoulders will relieve distressed breathing. In cases of prolonged immersion in cold water when breathing continues, warm bath should be given to resiore temperature.

POISONS. Alkalies and Acids, are, in many cases, strong poisons. lAs a " first aid " treatment, in cases of poisoning, emetics [are generally resorted to or special treatment with oil or [special antidote. In poisoning by alkalies or caustic soda or potash, a bensation of burning pain is felt from mouth to stomacli. Mouth can be washed out with weak vinegar and water, Hid oil, white of egg, or milk can be given. In poisoning by Acids. -Sulphuric nitric, or hydro- liloric (spirits of salt) ; intense pain in mouth and throat IS felt, and white skin is noticed. Wash out with chalk or whiting mixed with milk or water ; then give oil or milk. Phosphorus.— (Matches, Rat poison) Give emetic, then barley water or milk, but never oil. Opium.— (Laudanum).— -Signs ; breathing very deep and slow ; patient drowsy but can be roused ; pupils of eyes contract ; in severe cases to size ot pin's head. Treatment ; Give mustard or salt emetic ; prevent sleep by walking patient about, or flicking bare feet and calves with wet towel; give strong black coffee frequently; dash cold Iwater on head and face. (a^ A i^imple emetic can be made by dissolving a jteaspoonful of made mustard in a tumbler of warm water, or a tablespoonful of salt similarly mixed ; emetics are good 182 RULKS AND RE(>IUI^TION8. ■^ 1'^. ^ n 'f.

Carbolic Acid.— Mouth appears white and shrivelled and strong smell of tar. Wash out mouth with oil : Epsom salts in water is antidote ; followed by mixture of ^:hiU^ of egg in milk and water. ' Oxalic Acid. — Sufferer experiences acid taste with burning in throat and stomach followed by vomiting with much blood, then gradual sinking. Treatment ; -Give chalk or whiting mixed in water. ALCOHOLIC POISONING. -Drunkenness. Police sliould carefully note symptoms in special case lest a fit or illness be mistaken for drunkenness. If in aggravated cases state is plainly due to intoxicant, give emetic (salt or mustard) and repeat if ineffectual ; after vomiting, patient should sleep. Keep warm, hot tea is a good stimulant ; a drijpken person can be roused by rubbing his ears, but this treatment may cause him to strike out. Note.— Do not place a drunken person in a cold cell ; excessive drunkenness is a serious source of danger.
