Method of restoring Life to the apparent Drowned.
Avoid all rough usage. Do not hold up ⟨the⟩ body by the feet, or roll it on casks, or ⟨rub⟩ with salt or spirits, or apply tobacco. ⟨Let⟩ not a moment, carry the body, the head ⟨and⟩ shoulders raised, to the nearest house. ⟨Place⟩ it in a warm room. Let it be instantly stripped, dried, and wrapped in hot ⟨blankets⟩ which are to be renewed when ⟨necessary.⟩ Keep the mouth, nostrils, and the ⟨throat⟩ free and clean. Apply warm ⟨substances⟩ to the back, spine, pit of the ⟨stomach,⟩ arm-pits, and soles of the feet. Rub ⟨the⟩ body with heated flannel, or warm ⟨hands.⟩ Attempt to restore breathing, by ⟨gently⟩ blowing with bellows into one ⟨nostril.⟩ Keep up the application of heat. ⟨Press⟩ down the breast carefully with both ⟨hands⟩
