_Begin artificial respiration at once_, then soon as possible remove or
loosen all clothing about the back, chest, and abdomen. Free the throat
and mouth from mucus and foreign substances. Secure the tongue with a
dry cloth or handkerchief; keep it drawn forward and to one side, as
this opens the windpipe. Then turn the patient face downward, allowing
the abdomen to rest on a roll of goods. Make firm pressure on the back
and on both sides of the thorax to evacuate the lungs. Envelop the body
in warm blankets, apply heat to the feet, and stimulate with hypodermic
of strychnin, whisky, and coffee.
