Breaths by Machinery
A boy wro breathes by machinery, James AI. Turner, of Wimbledon, who is lying in a steel box at the Wlngfild Morris Orthopaedic Hospital, near Oxford suffering from infantile paralysis is stated to be making a remarkable recovery. His condition was so bad that his breathing was affected and his life in danger. It was decided to use r.:i apparatus known as “Drinker’s Respirator.” When the boy was first put into this steel case he could not breathe. Now he can breathe almost normally. The apparatus is so constituted that it can make a patient breathe at normal speed. A vacuum is created which causes the chest to rise, after which a pump fills tho ease with air and the chest relaxes.
