Ninth International Red Cross Conference, Washington, D.C., May 7-17, 1912 (1912)
The meeting of the Ninth International Red Cross Conference held at Washington, D.C, is of universal interest for the fact that its tender arms reach around the world of suffering in embraces of relief for humanity. Delegates from all parts of the world are to be seen upon their arrival at Exhibition Hall. A view of the field exercises of various "first aid detachments," some of them in competition, turns the tide of what would ordinarily be monotonous and tiresome to the keenest of interest. The latest inventions of medical science are all depicted in this film. One in particular, known as the pulmotor, is nothing less than omnipotent in power, having been known to revive persons by artificial respiration, one hour after apparent death. This device was purchased for the United States Navy. A scene showing the "Cyclonette" ambulance, the most perfect vehicle of its kind in the world capable of traveling on any roads is a novel sight to say the least.
