[Haute-Vienne First Aid Service to drowned people in XVIIIth].
Ph.-N. Pia, an apothecary of the Paris City Council, created in 1772 a First-Aid-Service to drowned people. Within 15 years, a hundred people were rescued; that's why the Government decided to endow each french department with an identical service. The author describes here the Haute-Vienne First Aid Service to drowned people.
