(2) To make the air pass back and forth through thatfree passage. * Theoretically and pictorially, nothing is easier than to indicate how tohandle the body so as to induce artificial respiration, and in a sample case ofa young, tall, light weight, elastic person, with three or four inches expansionof his chest when breathing, the directions can be easily followed ; but, incases in which the person is heavy, short, with the neck and throat encum-bered with fat, inelastic, having an expansion of chest of only one to twoinches, the task is by no means easy. It is in fact very diflacult to produce anypractically valuable results in any case. Hence, the necessity of the box men-tioned if effective work of this kind is essential. xxxu There are two ways for securing a free passage : (a) by-cutting a long slit in the windpipe, just below the larynx,and securing the opening there ; (b) by securing the naturalopening from the windpipe into the throat. To understand Fig:.
