By this plan even the unconscious victim of an accident may be transported a long distance, because the bearers' hands are left entirely free and thus prevented from becoming cramped or tired, as when a "seat" is made with clasped hands. In the method illustrated above the patient is placed in a seat made by tying a blanket, sheet, rope, or strap in the form of a ring. Each bearer then places his inner arm about the patient's body and with his outer hand holds the patient's arm around his neck.] The Home Medical Library Volume I FIRST AID IN EMERGENCIES By KENELM WINSLOW, B.A.S., M.D. (Harv.) _Formerly Assistant Professor Comparative Therapeutics, Harvard University; Late Surgeon to the Newton Hospital; Fellow of the Massachusetts Medical Society, etc._ ASSISTED BY ALBERT WARREN FERRIS, A.M., M.D. _Former Assistant in Neurology, Columbia University; former Chairman, Section on Neurology and Psychiatry, New York Academy of Medicine; Assistant in Medicine, University and Bellevue Hospital Medical College; Medical Editor, "New International Encyclopedia"_ GERM DISEASES By KENELM WINSLOW, B.A.S., M.D. (Harv.)
