through the mouth in the former, which makes it 

 possible to begin by filling them, and to follow this 

 by exhausting the lower lobes by the " reaction " 

 from the secondary section of the posterior lines, 

 with the upper part of the chest as an intermedi- 

 ate .starting point, instead of beginning at once 

 with the shoulder-blades. 



In No. 12 the lower lobes must be first ex- 

 hausted through the nostrils, and then the upper 

 lobes filled in the same way at each stage (except- 

 ing so far as the air already in the lungs may ad- 

 just itself). In Mons. Morquin's method the 

 upper lobes are first filled by the mouth, and 

 then the lower lobes exhausted by the nostrils. 

 When the upper lobes are once filled, the lower 

 lobes, in both methods, are filled through the nos- 

 trils, and the two methods coalesce. A con- 

 tinuance of filling the lower lobes beyond their 

 capacity, will transfer the air to the upper lobes, 

 whence it may be expired through the mouth, and 

 form the voice. 



Mons. Morquin's method has several advan- 

 tages, especially that the filling of the upper lobes 

 through the mouth, although not thorough, is 

 rapid ; and that, by a few mechanical directions, 

 a recruit may be caused to go through a process
