A remarkable case of resuscitation after electric shock iB narrated in a recent report of an inspector of a New York power company, which givos particulars of tho recovery of one of his men from tho effects of an electric shock. Tho man, when about to erect primary wires, was apparently killed by accidentally touching a wire, carrying current at 2300 volts. A lineman immediately took hold of the ankles of tho limp body, lifting it until tho whole weight rested on the neck, and lotting it fall. He then took a pair of connectors and hammered tho soles of the injured man's feet without removing his shoes. Another lineman opened tho man's mouth, pulled forward tho swallowed tongue (which occurs in elcctiic shock), and was about to. begin the Schaefer prone method of resuscitation, when the man returned to life. He was removed to the hospital, and recovered, though suffering severely from his burns. Similar cases of recovery are mentioned in connection with tho plan of striking the feet without removing the boots or shoos in case of electric shock.
