Pull jthe tongue out and see that it re |mains out, then straddle the pa tient, placing your hands under jtheir stomach, clasping them to- |gether, in this manned gradually |lft the patient a few inches, squeez- ing as you do so, dropping him suddenly. Sometimes a sharp slap between the shoulders is helpful. Lifting the patient as above men- tioned shouid only be once or twice, only taking a few seconds as it is merely to start anything that might |be blocking the air passages, If a person has been under water only three or four minutes, the life aver has everything in his favor. |Cases where patients are revived | after a fifteen-minute stay under the waves is very rare. Signs of death are dilated pupils and half closed eyelids, tongue ap- proaching the edge of the lips, stop- ping of breathing and heart beats, and the covering of the nostrils with a frothy mucus.
