Diseases of the heart and arterial system : designed to be a practical presentation of the subject for the use of students and practitioners of medicine . s of the thumbsare then gently pressed togetherin front of the abdomen, and, a proper degree of resistancebeing offered, they are thus slowlyraised until the hands rest on thetop of the bead, after which theyare slowly lowered to the originalposition (Figs. 86 and 87). (6) The arms, depending atthe sides, are then elevated for-ward and upward without bend-ing them until thev are held alofton a line with the perpendicularaxis of the body.
