RAID VICTIMS
NEW TREATMENT FOR TRAPPED MEN (Rec. 11.50) LONDON, April 28. A New York treatment for . persons trapped in a wrecked building was given by doctors for the time at a south coast town after an air raid early yesterday. A fire guard had his left foot pinned under debris, and it took seven hours to release him. During this time the doctors gave him, in addition to morpnia, two pints of a bicarbonate of soda solution to counteract shock, and to ward off kidney trouble, which is inclined to follow the crushing of a limb. A doctor explained that the bicarbonate of soda solution neutralised poisons that passed from bruised tissues.
