Paralyzed Youth Dies As Artificial Breathing Fails
Alii ROY I IQ 10 1 1LI I
Chicago, Mch. h._(ap)
Albert Frick, the 22-year old
• youth who lived for five days,
although powerless to breathe,
lost his game batle for life
last night.
Ihe hoy who was kept alive
through t,he efforts of three
score feilow employes who
breathed for hint with their
hands through artificial res
piration, died last night at an
Evanston hospital at 10:12
o’clock, 108 hours after arti
ftrial respiration was started
last Sunday morning.
Frick, a victim of Landry’s
paralysis, a form of creep
ing paralysis which nearly
always has proven fatal, amaz
ed medical science by living
lor five days while his friends
working in pairs for fifteen
minutes each, induced respira
tion by compressing and re.
losing ^pressure on his para
lyzed diaphragm.
He died after a valiant fight
for life and with many of the
three score men who had
worked over him in tears as
they saw their efforts prove
unavailing to check the creep
ing palsy that sarted in his
limbs last' Saturday mount
ing Sunday to his diaphragm.
Frick Is (iamc to Fast. °
At. 10 o’clock last Sunday morn
'Ing Frick stopped breathing. His
heart was still beating,
And doctors resorted to (artificial
respiration. .Then fellow employ
es of the Public Service
puny of Northern Illinois were
called and three score of them
have forced him to breathe since
tiiat time.
While the youth gasped out
encouragement or a jest, his
, friends, . , working , . . .
in pairs, one boy,! on
each side of the paralyzed
compressed ...... his diaphragm, then l
they relaxed. Then they com-; j
pressed. Thus they produced the j
same effect as though Frick
himself were breathing.
About an hour before he died
Frick la.sped into unopnsciousness.
Previously he had been conscio^
throughout the five days of his
fight and had directed the ef
forts to save him:
At the moment he died two of
the fifty-six fellow employes who
had kept him alive were at work
inducing artificial respiration.
Up until a few hours before
hi- death, Frick jested grimly
with his follow' workers and sev
eral times during the day had
mumbled brief instructions re
garding the work. !
Ailment Puzzles Doctors.
Herman Frick the boy’s father.
was with him when he died, but
hi- mother, who had left the
pital earlier in the evening, was
not, summoned as death approach
A
Present besides his father and
the two men inducing artificial
respiration were the two
ing physicians, Dr. H. H. Conley
anc i Dr. T. E. Conley, and a
nurse.
About two hours before the end
Frick slept fitfully for fifteen or
twenty minutes but doctors were
not encouraged by this because
said it it*lkated he wa?>
growing weaker.
Frick became ill of what doctors
.
diagnosed as. influenza, His con
diiion however, developed into t a
form of creeping pralysis concern-

Frick, picture at the right,
was a victim of complete para-

attacks youth.
End I S Dramatic.
,, ror. five days and five nights,
f e “°' V 1Uf ' pt him alivt
by forcing his lungs to f unction,
He had been imahi e to eat ex

or an injection of glucose.
Yesterday he had jested with
fellow workers and early in the
evening he indicated his intention;
of attending a party that his |
father" promised t o give when
recovered.
The end was dramatic, even
though the patient was tincbn
scions. Frick died as a stetho
scope was placed to his chest
by the doctors. As this was done
the life squad was asked to cease
for a moment.
The stethoscope was placed over
his heart, then the doctor stood up
and turning to the life SillliU
said:
Boys, it’s all over. You rion’;
y, a ve to work any more.
The lather rose, without a word
tears earning ('own. his ’ cheeks,
and left the room.
