7.  That  owing  to  the  force,  and  at  the  same  time  to
the  absolute  control,  which  the  operator  has  over  the  ex-
piratory movement,  he  is  able  to  compress  the  contents  of
the  thoracic  cavity  to  just  exactly  that  degree  deemed  by
him  wisest  and  best,  thereby  favoring  and  hastening  the
general  circulation.
8.  That  the  operator  can  sit  or  move  from  place  to
place  about  the  room,  greatly  to  his  relief  from  fatigue,
still  continuing  the  respiratory  movements.
9.  That,'if  thought  best,  the  movements  can  be  kept  up
while  the  infant  is  immersed  up  to  its  chin  in  hot  water.
10.  That  by  elevating  the  buttocks  and  depressing  the
head  and  shoulders,  the  expulsion  of  mucus  can  be  effect-
ed as  in  the  Schultze  method.
11.  That  for  alternating  with  Sylvester's  and  other
methods  it  possesses  peculiar  advantages,  affording  great
relief  to  tiresome  positions  in  protracted  cases.
12.  That  it  possesses  all  of  the  advantages  of  the
Schultze  method  and  none  of  its  disadvantages.
13.  That  the  method  is  prompt,  reliable,  easy  to  per-
form, and  perfectly  safe.

ments which  we  have  just  heard  in  this  paper  of  Dr.
