The boss of the créw was the first to reach the injured mane
He knew whet should be done, but he had studied a method of artificual respir-
ation which has now become extinct and is no longer usede Therefore, I felt
it my duty to take over the job and use a method which was more modern and
which is the accepted method. I might say that the boss used an old method
in which he pressed on the back and then reached under the hips and elevated
them, and then started the process over againe I immediately say that this
was contrary to the method of recusitation which I had been taught in Dre
Allen's First Aid classe Therefore, I told him to open the injured man's
mouth, and I would administer the artificial respiratione There was a third
man near by who timed me in my first minute of work on the injured mane It
SO eer that I used 13 recusitation movements, which is the equivalent
to that in the Red Cross booke After he had timed me for the first minute
I told him that I had my correct timing and that he should then go to the
highway and stop a car so that in case we were able to bring the injured man
back to consciousness he could be transferred to a hospital immediately.
The first car he stopped was to be sent to telephone for a doctor to come
to the place of the accident.

I worked at this same rate on the patient for approximately
12 minutes, and at this time he started groaning and trying to movee When
he started breathing he began coughing up blood which I could tell was from |
@ lung injurye Therefore, I thought it best not to move the patient wntil
further aid could arrivee I continued helping him to breathe by the use of
artificial respiration, and he revived quite readily after once starting to
breathee It wasn't long until he was breathing well enough so that he wented

to be movede
