Abstract
THE death of Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer at A North Berwick on March 29, in his eighty-fifth year, will be greatly regretted all the world over. His method of resuscitation of the apparently asphyxiated, for which he was awarded the Distinguished Service Medal of the Royal Life Saving Society in 1909, brought him well-merited fame. Public notices describing the method and placed in conspicuous situations wherever there is danger from death by drowning and gas poisoning, and its use by all first-aid societies and ambulances, have rendered its discoverer the best known of all physiologists so far as the general public is concerned.
