out of the lungs dicharged into the room. The pipe 
of thefe fhould be flexible, in length a foot or a foot and 
a half, and at leaf! three-eighths of an inch in width ; by 
this the artificial breathing may be continued, while the 
other operations, the application of the JUmuli to the 
omach excepted, are going on, which could not con- 
veniently be done, if the muzzle of the bellows were in- 
troduced into the nofe. The end next the nofe fhould 
be aouble, and applied to both noftrils. Secondly, a

mmulating matter into it, without affeding the lungs..

uled in throwing fumes of tobacco up the anus. 
I fhall conclude this paper by propofmg, that all, who 
are employed in this practice, be particularly required to- 
keep accurate journals of the means ufed, and the de- 
grees of fuccels attending them ; whence we may be fur- 
nifhed with facfls fufficient to enable us to draw conolu- 
flons, on which a certain practice may hereafter be efta- 
blifhed.
