4 L Jan. 13:3/4 In a letter to the editor, T. S. says: "In looking over your paper this morning, I notice the circumstance of the drowning of the two boys Lowe and McNary at Columbus. You say the son of W. Aston rescued one of the boys, but not until life was so nearly extinct as to prevent resuscitation. For what it is worth, I will state that once I saw a little boy taken from a pond whom everyone pronounced dead. I held him by his heels a second or two, laid him down on his back and breathed into his mouth, breathing as anyone would that was out of breath; another person rubbed his abdomen with his hand at the same time; in less than two inutes his eyes opened and he began crying. I believe if the same thing had been done in the above case the child's life would have been saved."
