The diseases of infants and children . orencn, 1871. ASPHYXIA NEONATORUM 281 pression with the fingers, until his arms are somewhat above the horizon-tal position. The swing now ceasing, momentum carries the lower partof the child slowly forward, throwing the legs up and over toward thephysician, while the head hangs down. The trunk becomes in this waystrongly flexed, and the abdomen and chest consequently compressed,the weight of the child resting against the physicians thumbs. Thispressure causes an enforced expiration, and the aspirated fluid may bedriven from the mouth and nose. After a pause of a few seconds thechild is again swung downward into the original position. All pressurebeing thus removed from the chest, an enforced inspiration follows. Ina few seconds more the movements are repeated, and so on for 6 or 8times in the course of a minute or less, after which the child is placed ina tub of warm water for a few minutes. If no natural respiratory move-ments have commenced, the whole process is repeated (Fig. 47)..
