PULMOTOR SAVES GIRL
Moorhead, Minn., Oct. 3.—The life of Martha Sandless, 12 years old, of LaMoure, N.D., was saved by the use of a pulmotor. The girl had a bad case of appendecitis{sp}, and after an operation a clot of blood formed on the lungs and her condition became critical. She stopped breathing several times and Dr. O.J. Hagen sent for the electric light company's pulmotor. When the device was put in operation the patient responded almost immediately and is doing splendidly, and only complications from the operation are to be feared.
