suffering from respiratory ailments

in use at the St. Elizabeth and Lake

The beds are the standard hos-

and rocked by an electric motor
and standard speed reducer unit.
The rocking motion of the bed
creates a mechanical artifical res-
piration.

The patient, once adjusted to the
rocking motion, can use it instead
of an iron lung. It costs only a small
fraction as much as a "lung."
