ceding experiment, 81.5°.The maximum temperature of 89.3° was reached at the end of tenminutes. ((t) The moist bandage was covered with four thicknesses offlannel. Temperature at the end of one minute was 82.5°; themaximum temperature of 91.8° was reached at the end of ten minutes. Experiment 70.— Showing the rate of heating of the heating ab-dominal compress, when protected with mackintosh or other im-■ pervious material (page 826). These experiments were made with the same subject as thepreceding and the conditions were the same:— («) With one thickness of flannel, the maximum temperature91.4° was reached at the end of fifteen minutes. (^b) With two thicknesses of flannel, the maximum temperatureof 92.1° was reached at the end of twenty minutes. ((t) With four thicknesses of flannel, the maximum temperatureof 93.6° was reached at the end of twenty minutes. (^d) With eight thicknesses of flannel, the maximum temperatureof 94.7° was reached at the end of twenty minutes.

Fig. 273. (Exp. 5I Total work. 5.789 kgm. (p 1128). SUMMARY OF EXPERIMENTAL WORK. I I 33 Experiment 71.— S/io7ving the effect of the chest compress upon the volmneof tidal air (^page 862^. The subject, J. C. B., was a young man aged 27, weight 132 lbs.The normal amount of tidal air was 507 c.c. The application ofthe chest compress, wrung from ice-water, produced an immediateincrease in the depth of the respiratory movements and the volumeof the tidal air rose at once to 751 c.c, an increase of 48 per cent.At the end of twenty minutes, when the experiment terminated, theamount of tidal air was 604 c.c, 20 per cent more than at thebeginning. The average increase for the whole twenty minutes was170 c.c, or T,2> P^r cent. Experiment 72.— Showifig the effects of the cold precordial com-press upon the rate and force of the heart beat ^page 868). (fl) The subject was a young man aged 35, weight 122 lbs.A sphygmographic tracing obtained before the application of thecompress, is shown i
