1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class X.: Thomas Small
From Graces Guide
651. SMALL, THOMAS, Boston, Lincolnshire — Inventor.
Apparatus for restoring suspended animation in persons apparently dead. It consists of a box with a hole in the lid, and bellows. The body is placed in the box, the lid put on, the face exposed through the hole, the mouth kept open, and the India-rubber kept adjusted to the cheeks, forehead, and chin, so that no air can pass by the sides: the bellows are now worked gently upwards and downwards, just as fast as a healthy person breathes, till animation be restored.
The electro-magnetic apparatus, bottles containing restoratives, etc., can be kept fitted ready in the inside, near the feet, and the box may be mounted on wheels. It is peculiarly serviceable for the still-born.
