EET |i Directions for Securing Artificial Res- Piration—A Prelonged Faint and the Methed of Resuscitation. Avgustin H. Goelet, M.D., im the Electrical World. Much interest has recently been excited by the report from France of the resusci- tation of a man apperently killed by elec- tricity, amd by the announcement of the French scientist d’Arsonval that a person 80 shocked should be treated as one drowned. ‘The suggestion is a good one, but may be somewhat misleading unless it is under- stood; that is, unless the person undertak- ing the resuscitation appreciates what 1s to be accomplished and just how it is to be done. As this authority says, an electric shock may produce death in one of two ways, viz: @) By producing destructive tissue changes, when death is absolute; or (2), by producing sudden arrest of the respiratory and heart muscles through excitement of the nerve centers, when death is only a) Parent; in other words, animation is merely be aroused manner. All things considered, it is rational to at- tempt the resuscitation of those a; tly killed by electricity, and if not too de- layed, the effort promises fair of success, proper means are insti- tuted. If the body has actually been submitted to a current of sufficient volume to produce destructive tissue all efforts at anaesthetics, and knows that patients in this condition are frequently revived. Laymen will appre- ciate the nature of this condition if it is ex- ed as one of exaggerated faint, and would not feel appalled upon encountering it if previously instructed how to cope with it. In an ordinary fainting spell the neces- sity to stimulate is universally appreciated. In syncope resulting from an electric shock stimulation is lMkewise indicated, but more vigorous measures are required. This is the only difference. As said above, the direction to treat one shocked by electricity as one drowned may be misleading, as the conception of man ef the necessities in this case be to roll the body on a barrel. Let him un- derstand that the condition is one of exag- gerated faint, that the necessity is fo: . Prompt stimulation, and that the est and most pewerful stimulant which can be employed 1s artificial respiration. The man must be made to breathe, if this is possible, and efforts to induce respiration mrst not be suspended until breathing is fully and normally restored or until it is absolutely certain that life is extinct. This cannot be assured in less than an hour's persistent, energetic, tireless effort. The body must be placed upon the back. ‘A rol! made of a coat cr anything else con- venient (rolled, not folded) is placed under the shoulders, and must be sufficiently large to so prop the spine up as te drop the head backward. The operator should kneel be- hind the subject's head, facing him, grasp the elbows and draw them well over the head, se as to bring them almost together above it, and hold them there for two or three seconds. Then he carries them down to the sides and front of the chest, firmly compressing it by throwing his weight up- on them. After two or three seconds the erms are again carried above the head and the same maneuver is repeated, at the rate of fifteen or sixteen times per minute. At the same time the tongue must be drawn out to free the throat. This manipulation stimulates respiration in the following man- ner, viz: When the arms are extended over the head, the chest walls are expanded, just as in inspiration, and if the throat ts clear the air will rush into the lungs. When the arms are brought down to the sides of the chest, compressing it, the air is ex- pelled, just as in expiration. This is the most convenient and reliable manner of inducing artificial respiration. It is known as Sylvester's method. The oper- ator must, however, appreciate the fact that this manipulation must be executed with methodical deliberation just as described and never hurriedly nor half-heartedly. To grasp the arms and move them rapidly up and down like a pump handle is both absurd and absolutely useless. A Stimulant of Respiration. In addition to this, if an assistant be at hand, the tongue, heki by a cloth or hand- kerchief to prevent slipping, should be seized and drawn forcibly out during the act of inspiration or when the arms are extend- €d above the head, and when the chest is compressed it may be allowed to recede. ‘This rhythmical traction upon the tongue is in itself an excellent stimulant of respira- tion. It acts not only by freeing the throat of the tongue, which may fall back and ob- struct breathing, but also by a reflex irri- tation, through the fracnum or bridle under the og gape drawn forcibly against the Tr teeth. Should these efforts fail to elicit any response or arouse any signs of life, re- course may be had to another method of stimulation by exciting the dormant! centers. This should, however, be re for the physician, who sheuld alw summoned by one who realizes the injury that may be done if it is carelessly prac- ticed. 00 — Farmer Meadow's Position. From Life.

Barbour’s Force to March to Marshall Hall Tonight. READY FOR THEIR RECEPTION Some Notable Incidents in the His- tory of the Organization. A COMPLETE ROSTER ‘The members of troop A, District of Co- lumbia National Guard, are getting ready to pitch their tents on the well-known cam- pus of Marshall Hall, Md., where they have arrarged to live under canvas for ten days. Cu: siderable surprise was expressed around National Guard circles when the coming en- campment was announced, as it Is rather late for even a military compary to brave the elements, but the hardy troopers of Capt. Barbour’s command laugh at the idea of ecld weather, and anticipate even a more pleasant time than would have been got out of an earlier outing. No doubt, from a military standpoint, the results will be better, as the heavy duties of camp life can be more easily performed than in warmer weather, and this is the point that urged the District cavalrymen to Under the guidance of Private Samuel H. Shiomberg, the march will be taken up from Center Market armory, and continued along the Telegraph road until about midnight, when the company will rest in bivouac at Pisquataway for two hevrs. Then the march will be resumed and con- tinued without halting until the arrival in the little canvas village, where the horses will be picketed, and a general advance taede or Col. McKibben’s dining room. The troop will reach camp somewhe-e about 8 o'clock, and breakfast will be ready for them on arrival. While in the two hours’ bivouac, coffee will be made, and a cooked ration per man served, but the all-night’s march will, no dcubt, whet the naturally sturdy appetites of the young soldiers. A camp detail, in charge of Acting First Lieut. W. H. Mellach, inspector of rifie Practice for the troop, and Sergt. Ed. H. Pillsbury went by boat to Marshall Hall this morning, and when the troop shall have urrived there, everything will be in readiness for their reception. This detail will be charged with the work of laying off and putting up the camp, and as the men in charge of it have had a great deal of experience in such work, no fault finding 1s anticipated. The hospital corps’ ambulance has been turned over to the troop, and, loaded with supplies, ammunition, and so forth, will start from the armory at 4 o'clock, and, un- der the direction of Trumpeter John F. Fitz- gerald and Private A. W. Simpson, pursue the same route as that to be followed by the troop. At Pisquataway the ambulance will halt and wait for the troop to come up. While awaiting the arrival of the main body, the two men in charge of the ambu- lance will prepare the luncheon for their comrades. The Camp. ‘The camp will be pitched about 150 yards north of the pavilion, on the broad plateau overlooking the beautiful Potomac, from which a magnificent view of Mount Ver- non and the surrounding country can be had. This spot is peculiarly well adapted for a camp site. Its elevation is sufficient to command the country for miles around; it is level and perfectly with plen- ty of area for all the purposes to which the neighboring lawns are usually applied in a military camp. The ground lies so that guard duty is reduced to a minimum, and when tents are in shape the sight is one to make a soldier's heart beat faster. This particular part of Marshall Hall is called the parade ground, for the reason that every infantry organization that has a summer camp at the popular resort uses it for drills, dress parades, and so forth, while the tents are generally erected in the or- chard to the east a short distance. However, the parade ground, though a most excel- lent place for infantry movements, is by far too small to admit the maneuvering of cav- alry or artillery, and, on this account, light battery A, District of Columbia Na- tional Guard, has for the past two years camped on it, having their drills and other mounted work done in a field off to the rear of the resort. Another great advantage possessed by this place is a ravine just to the right as one faces the river, and this hollow ts eas- fly converted irto a model camp stable. It is so near that all the advantages of close proximity to the quarters are to be ob- tained, while it is so situated that none of the disagreeable elements of such an estab- lishment are brought into notice. The tents will be stretched in two lines, facing each other, with a wide company street between. The headquarters and offi- cers’ tents will be erected at the north end, facing down the company street, and com- manding an unobstructed view of the en- tire camp. The guard tent, though it is hoped this particular unit of the camp will be unoccupied, is to stand just in rear of the north end of the eastern line of tents. The street is to run parallel with the river, which will make it almost due north and south. The men will be quartered, two to a tent, in the regulation “A” wall tents, and each “mess” will have to make itself as com- fortable as possible, always conforming to the rules of neatness and simplicity. Cots will be provided, with board floors, as an additional safeguard against dampness and cold. The troop has drawn government rations, but, preferring a more homelike and less homely spread than that supplied by Uncle Sam, arrangements have been je with the management of the resort by which the boys are to be fed at the cafe, and this ar- rangement does away with much unneces- sary trouble, while at the same time the ex- pense to each man is very nominal. However, Quartermaster Sergeant Springman carries along quite an assortment of little delica- cles that are always appreciated in camp. Object of the Camp. This camp, unlike many others, is to be one of instruction in the duties that would devolve on the gallant little troop that adorns Gen. Ordway's brigade should oc- casion ever require their services. Of course there will be fun, and plenty of It, but this will be merely an Incidental. Capt. Bar- bour is a thorough soldier, and besides his own knowledge, that of Lieut. Merrilat, from the cavalry at Fort Myer, will be brought into play. Lieut. Merrilat, together with a non-com- missioned officer in the regular cavalry, has been detailed by the Secretary of War to accompany the command, and, in the ca- pacity of instructor, train the volunteers in_regular army methods. The affairs of the camp will be conducted on a basis of strict military discipline, and no one can estimate the amount of benefit to be derived from ten days properly spent in the Held. A large store of ammunition has been issued to the troop, and some ex- cellent scores are looked for on the range. ‘The troopers do not need an instructor for this part of the program, as many of them are sharpsneoters. History of the Organisation. The President's Troop, officially known as the first separate company (mounted), D. C. N. G., was organized during the wave of military enthusiasm which swept over Washingtor after the organization of the National Guard by Gen. Ordway. The pro- ject of forming a troop of cavairy had sev- eral times been disci but did not re- ceive the sanction of National Guard ofti- ciais until the movement which led to the organization of the present troop. The founders received every éncourage- ment from Gen. Ordway and his staff, and after several preliminary meetings’ the troop was mustered into the military serv- fee of the District of Columbia December A week later Harrison 8. Barbour was given command by unanimous vote, with the rank of second lieutenant. A full quota of non-commissioned officers was also chosen at this meeting, and the troop im- mediately settled down to the difficult task of learning to soldiers, Every assistance was rendered from headquarters, and the non-commissioned officers were afforded the unique honor of belng put through their maiden rill by the brigade adjutant gen- eral. Almost before the troop was organized, certainly before it was equipped, -it was determined that it should be in shape to make its debut at the inauguration of President Harrison, on the 4th of March, Iss, Just two and a half months from the date of its organization. Appreciating the advantages of army methods, it secured the services of Sergt. Maj. Rennie of Fort Myer (now first lieu- tenant and adjutant of the sixth battalion, D. C. N. G.) as drill instructor. The object sought was acquirement of practical knowl- edge, rather than precision in the manual of arms and expertness in fancy move- ments. To thfs «nd the company directed their energies, and, like war recruits, gave a hearty second to the efforts of the in- structor. The troop turned out on the 4th of March and gained many favorable comments on its military appearance. The morning opened with a drenching rain, which con- tinued throughout the day, varied occasion- ally only by a heavy downpour. It was a beginning not calculated to inspire great degree of enthusiasm, but it has al ways been a peculiarity, of the troop to rise in spirits in proportion to the discomfort of the situation. This quality of weather has followed the troop with singular persist- ency, and it early acquired the name of be- ing a wet weather troop. In fact, a rainy day in Washington is generally known among their friends as troop A weather. The Troo; Different Homes. The troop's first home was the Washing- ton Riding: Academy, but this was hardly to be regarded as other than temporary quarters. In April, 1889, the organization was quartered in the armory of the Wash- ington Light Infantry Corps, where, among other privileges, it enjoyed that of carry- ing heavy horse equipments up and down three flights of stairs before and after every mounted drill. The most notable event of the troop'’s first year was, of course, the encampment of the National Guard at Fort Washington. The march to the fort gave the troop its first taste of seal army life. Notwithstand- ing the inexperience of the men and the strict regime of the camp, the men acted well, and gained much practical knowl- edge of camp and field work. At the end of the encampment, Gen. Ord- way, aware of the strain on men unac- cuxtomed to grooming horses and to the rigors of a cavalry camp, offered trans- portation back to Washington by boat. ‘The troopers, however, having passed the stage of soreness and fatigue, and in love with their life in the saddle, enthusiastically but respectfully declined the general's offer, and marched back they had gone. Immediately after the encampment Lieut. Barbour was unanimously elected captain, John T. Eiker was made first Heutenant, and Arthur W. Fergusson second lieuten- ant, both by unanimous vote of the enlisted men. In April, 1890, the troop again changed its home, and was quartered in the old skating rink, on New York avenue. Here, for the first time, they enjoyed the comforts of a roomy armory, and were enabled to add the pleasant features of a social club. ‘The 2ist of July, 18%), again found the troop on ‘the march to Fort Washington for the second annual encampment of the brigade, decidediy improved in personnel, military appearance and discipline. During this encampment the possibility of employ- ing cavalry in maritime warfare was demon- strated in the most effective manner. Its March to Winchester. But the event par excellence of its mili- tary career was the fifteen days’ practice march during the summer of 1891. Con- gress failed to provide for a brigade en- campment, and the troop, feeling the neces- sity of a larger experience than could be ob- tained from a camp, arranged for a prac- tice march, It was regolved to make an ex- tended march through Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. Such an undertaking had never been accomplished by a National Guard organization. The War Department viewed the enter- prise with interest, and detailed Lieut. A. W. Perry, ninth cavalry, U. S. with Sergeant Pries of troop A of the first, to ac- company the expedition, for the purpose of instructing the troop in army methods, and reporting to the department the results of the undertaking. That interest in the event extended outside of Washington was shown by the presence of Capt. Charles F. Roe, | Lieut. O. B. Bridgeman and fourteen troop- ers from the crack New York cavalry, troop A, N. G.S.N. Y. Capt. (mow major) E. H. Neumeyer of the general staff had’ charge of the commissary department during the march. ‘The marching column consisted of sev- enty-eight men, including a detail from the ambulance corps, and a train consisting of three four-horse wagons, one (two-horse wagon, one ambulance, a water cart and a light road wagon for the use of the com- missary. The march was begun on the 18th of July, in the rain, as usual, which gradvally increased until the afternoon, when it fell in torrents. The objective point was Win: chester, Va., by wey of Harper's Ferry: The latter place was reached in three one-half days, marching by easy accustom men and horses to the exercise. w A Lively Skirmish. On the third day, 2s the troops approach- ed the pass through the mountains made by the Potomac below Harper's Ferry, Lieut Perry went ahe2d with a platoon to represent the enemy for the purpose of in- structing the troop in advance guard and ovtpest duty and the method of passing a defile in an enemy’s country. The re- mainder of the command threw ocut-an ad- vance guard according to regulations, and entered the pass with the greatest caution. Towerd 1 o'clock a sudden fusillade in the front was intimation that. the enemy had been struck, and the troop advanced at the gallop, dismounted part of the command to fight on foot, deployed on each side of tt. road over rocks, through brush and bram. bles, and engaged the enemy's outpost on a steep hillside. A few minutes’ rapid firing carried the hill. The remainder of the com- mand charged as foragers, sabered the enemy's outpost into little bits, skirmish- ers were recalled and retired into the shade on the roadside to wipe off the perspiration and powder grime and discuss the probabil- ities of the war, whilst two juvenile natives of colcr, armed with a set of boxing gloves borrowed from the surgical outfit, pum- meled each other for the glory of conquest, the edification of the troop and a purse of 23 cents. The column passed through Harper's Ferry that afternoon and halted at Charles- town, Va., and here cam for two days for the purpose of rest and detailed instruction in the duties of outposts, etc. Hospitality of the People. The troop was received at Winchester with royal hospitality, and tarried three days. Then the homeward march was be- gun. The troop forded the Shenandoah at Castleman's Ferry, and recrossed the Blue Ridge at Snicker’s Gap. Here the enemy was again encountered by the advance guard, cut to pieces in a sharp engagement and driven into the fastnesses of the moun- tains. Roster of the Troop.
