The method requires some practice to be carriedout properly. If the swinging movements have succeeded in startingrespiration and increasing tiie power of the hearts action, the case hasnow become one of the milder degree of asphyxia, and cutaneous stimu-lation may be tried. If it has not succeeded artificial respiration nmstbe used again and again. It should
