THE PULMOTOR. 



PAY what we may* il is only morbid sentiment on the one 

 ^ hand brutalitj on the other which will deny the 



supreme v; man life, Wh; I tions philosophy 



ligion ma; hold forth, it is true- that the man who dies 

 losf this beautiful world, which is his by 

 heritage V^ we oughi to give our detestation to those who 

 plan wicked and wanton slaughter, 



tld give our tribute to those who 

 to sa\e the lives of their fellow 

 men ; and it 

 is a relief in 

 such times as 

 these to con- 

 sider any fac- 

 tor that ni 

 for the 

 ing r a 1 h e r 

 than the de- 

 struetii m f 

 human life. 



An inven- 

 tion of this 

 w h i c li 

 properly 

 comes under 

 the purview 

 of this jour- 

 nal is the Pul- 

 motor, which 

 was invented 



in 1908 by Mr. Bernard Draeger, of Luebeck, Germany. As its 

 name indicates, it is an apparatus to enforce respiration when 

 natural breathing has ceased. 



Everybody has read in "first aid" directions how to induce 

 respiration in persons rescued from drowning, suffocating 

 fumes, etc., but not one out of ten thousand knows what to do. 

 Even if he does, theory is likely to fail when confronted by- 

 emergency, and anything like expert work is not to be expected. 

 All mechanical aids before the invention of the Pulmotor had 

 the same difficulty, in only less degree, inasmuch as they were 

 still dependent upon the understanding, strength and coolness 

 of the operator. 



The Pulmotor, <in the other hand, dues its work automat- 

 ically when once adjusted. Xo tubes are run down the victim's 

 throat, but an airtight mask is applied to the face and air mixed 

 with oxygen is forced under this mask with such pressure that 

 the lungs are mechanically filled. This pressure having been 

 reached, an exhaust movement automatically follows, the air 

 from the lungs being discharged into the outer air. Immedi- 

 ately reversing, the lungs are again filled with the oxygenated 

 air, the blood begins to be revitalized and the nervous centers 

 which have failed of their functions once more resume the or- 

 derly processes of life. At no time is there any danger to the 

 patient from the use of the Pulmotor. as the pressure can never 

 go beyond a scientifically fixed limit and the filling and ex- 

 haustion of the lungs proceed with rythmic certainty. It is un- 

 questionably a means of saving life where all other means 

 would fail, and it should have a place in all situations where 

 danger from asphyxiation may reasonably be apprehended.

The New Jersey Zinc Co., Xew York, to meet the growing 

 demand from paint manufacturers, manufacturers of rubber 

 goods and others for their "Lithopone," are erecting a large 

 plant for its manufacture, near their oxide plant at Millport, 

 Pahnerton, Pennsylvania. It will occupy a plot 400 x 600 feet, 

 will comprise about a dozen huildings and will be ready for 

 ion by April 1.
