AS foon as the drowned'body is found, it muft carefully be conveyed, extended upon a hand-barrow, a ladder, or dome long board, to a bam, a Ihed, or other place under cover, where no houfc is near enough for its reception. It muft there be laid out upon a tabic, a broad board, ora bench, in a dop- ing pofition, the head higher than the feet ; it is then to be ftripped, laid in a blanket, or coarfe cloth, and carefully exa- mined, to lee whether any part be hurt; as fuch parts that have received injury muft be /pared, and the treatment in regard to them be conducted with tendernefs and caution. The bodies of drowned perfons, generally found wetj cold and ttiff, mutt immediately be well dried, placed in a temperate air, and rubbed with dry and warm flannels, with other cloths, or a flelh-brufti. If dry rubbing does not prove efficacious, then fome fpirits ate to beTprinkled upon the rubbers j the (pi- nts, thus ufed, are volatile fpirits offal ammoniac, hartlhorn, or eau-de-luce, mixed with brandy, rum, or malt fpirits. The parts to be rubbed with fteadinefs, are the back-bone, the fdes, belly and breafi, the palms of the hands, and feles of the Jeet j jcTthbr'paits to be chafed with the above named fpirits, are the 'templet, ears and neck. The mouth and note of drowned perfons are often filled with ■mud, or froth, that muft be cleared away with a goote feather, or by repeated injeftions of fome luke-warm- water, tea or aro- matic infahon 5 the body being laid upon its fide, that the liquid may eaiily run out: There is no need to wrench the jaws afnn- der with violence when they feern clofe fixed, as the lips and ’: cheeks offer room enough for introducing the fluid. If a fatal! degree of heat be obtained from rubbing alone, a recovery becomes very promifing, and the body ought then to be ■laid in a bed (where it can be had) in blankets, between two healthy perfons, undreffed, who are to continue rubbing and gently agitating it, to increafe the heat to a natural ftate.—But if the nrlt degree of heat be not produced from diligent rub- bing, then dry heat is to be applied, in bed, if poffible, by ftone bottles filled with hot water, and wrapped up in flannel; heat- ed tiles or bricks, fo wrapped up, but ufed with precaution ; allb hot fand in bags laid near, but not to tooth, the lides, the hands and feet ; a number of cloths alternately heated, put; efpecialiy about the head, the neck, and the coldeft parts of the I body, and renewed as they cool, will likewife prove of fervice. To the foregoing outward applications is nertt to be added the iritroduftion of ftimulant vapours and fubftances into the ! body, after the blowing in of common air has been tried, which ;| alone fofnetime‘B proves efficacious. It is done with a final 1 I new pair of bellows, nut up the fundament ; the operation; rnuft be cautioufly and flowly conduced, and while the bellows! play, the volatile fpirit or eau-de-luce above deferibed, put into a warm tea-cup, to make it fife, is to be held under the valve. I! The more (limulant vapour to be blown up, when coinmc ! air does not fuffice, is the fmoke of tobacco for ftrong bodies,! or of fome aromatic herb, as fage, mint, or rotemary, for the! weaker fort ; it is done by bellows, called fiunigators j but where thete are not at hand, it can be done with a common (inoking pipe filled and lighted, of which the fmall encf is put!] iinto'tbe fundament, and the bowl being covered with a piece of,'j paper, having pin-holes in it, or in its Head another pipe inveit-il ed on it, will Serve as a conveyer of the fmoke ; the fame effectn has been obtained by inferting a wooden or a lea-(j ther Iheath, of which the point was cut off; both thefe beinglj fit to receive the /mail end of the pipe, or the nozel of a pair of | bellows, without hurting the part into which they are intro-« dneed, * It has been frequently tried, and thought of life, to blow airl into the mouth from time to time : When that mean is attempt cd, it ought to be done with a fmall clean pair of bellows, and not with the mouth, becaufe the breath being hot, and not pure,| is improper, and would rather be hurtful than ferviccable. -Vr.iac an, vapour, or fmoke, is introducing into the body, I the belly muft be gently moved and preffed upward with the hand ; and the operation muft be repeated and continued during leveral hours, until flgns of life do appear.'And when thof? are obtained, attention is then required to go on flowly, and lo give heat and motion by degrees; but not to overpower by Saafty endeavours a body then in fo weak a condition as to be hurt by every inconfiderate attempt. It Ihould at that time be kept in gentle agitation* by means of the blanket upon which it Ires. The noftrils and throat are to be tickled with A crow fea- ther i and powders or faits that provoke freezing may then be ufed. The temples* ears and neck, are to be chafed with the volatile fpirits above mentioned, mixed with brandy, or fpirits ; fome tinhure qf caflort or pepper-rotnt water, or fome cordial* ought then to be put into the mouth, by flow degrees, a tea- at a time, and allowed to go down before another be given* The flgns of returning life, generally obtained, are as follow ; Small contractions of the mufeles of the face, or other parts of the body ; a flight red colour appearing on the lips and cheeks ; fome faint and irregular pulfation in the biood-veflfeis ; a kinder feel of the fiefh } and a little glow of warmth fpreading over the parts. Thofe are followed by greater degrees of the fame fymptoms, by fome fpafins, which are fucceeded by a vifible diftrelflug anxiety ; a puking and purging, a groaning, and a violent head-ache, of which they complain as foun as they reco- ver fpeech* No time can be limited for the continuance of the ncceflary treatment ; it muft be perfevered in, without difeouragement, till life be recovered ; or till it plainly appears, from a very jtlong train of frultlefs endeavours, that no kind of change is obtained.—The fpace of fix hours or more has affiduoufly been employed to obtain the firft figns of life, which have been fol- lowed by a happy recovery, that has largely rewarded the trou- ble, and. afforded the unfpeakable fatisfadion of having refeued from the grave fnbjeds valuable to their families and friends. Or to the community. The condud to be held with newly recovered perfons is, to keep them quiet; moderately warm ; to give them fage and balm tea, and when they incline to deep, to make them drink wine whey.—As loon as they can take food, then ftrengthen them with nourilhing things, fuch as eggs mulled with beer or wine and Ipices, and toafted bread without butter. The molt dangerous and irremediable confequences of doing] what is wrong under critical flotations, reader it eflential'yj neceffary to warn accidental operators againft fevera: pradices Introduced by prejudice, jr followed froin a want of kiiowiftlge’-i | f fie nature of the fubjed. A body in which life is infpended, (is n a thorough date of weiknel's, and whatever is atte -t'pted’.; towards a recovery muft be gentle in pm , 'it- ; < - and forcible means will confirm the degree of weaknefs, by deftfoying totally that latent quality, with the lofs of which all hope of fuccefs vanifhes. An opinifin generally prevalent, that drowned bodies contain a quantity of'water in the ftomach and lungs, is erroneous j what may be there, need not be forced out ; and therefore 11- courfe fhould not be had to the cruel attempt of rolling the body on a ca(k, of holding or hanging it by the feet, or otherwile draining and bruifing it. Such ufage prevents recovery, brings bn difeharges of blood, and haftens death. In the action of rubbing, nothing fo lharp as dry fait, nettles, or other things injurious to the fkin, fhould be tiled ; they are hurtful, and often a barbarous way of flaying the body. In any operation about the mouth, to clean it from mud, to inje£l liquids into it, or to blow in air, the jaws muft not he wrenched open ; the thing can- by contrivance be done vM-'iout it, and if fuccefs attends the endeavours, they will open cf themfelves. As the fuccefs expefted'from a mild treatment, depends upon the degree of fpringinefs and irritability ftill remaining in the delicate eonftituent parts of the body, attention muft be had not to ufe means of a relaxing kind, fuch as baths, either warm or of vapour ; the application of warm water in bladders ; the immerfion into brewer’s grains, or other warm and moift appli- cations j all which deftroy the powers upon which motion de- pends. Bleeding, (lands prominent among, the means that arc not to be ufed j it lijfens thofe powers, and while iris ftill inconfi- derately or fancifully pra6lifed, aflurance mutt he given, from experience and printed authority, that it is of hurtful tendency, obftrufls the moft falutary operations, and ought never on a. : account, to be f ractifed in cafes of violent death. Vinegar and other four things, but too commonly ufed, have an effeft contrary to what is expefted from them 5. they harden the parts to infenfibility, and augment the difpofition in bodies at dead reft to congeal the blood; while thofe called alcalis (of the pearl-a(h kind) have a contrary and good effect.
