Avis pour donner du secours à ceux qui l’on croit noyez.

Publication Details

Montpellier: Imprimerie d’Augustin F. Rochard, 1740 CE.

In this unsigned 4-page pamphlet the author argued that those who had been drowned for several hours could be resuscitated. His ideas inspired the formation of the Amsterdam Society (No. 2028.51). This anonymous work was attributed to Réaumur by various contemporary writers on drowning.
