After they began to gasp again, he pulled out the nostril tubes, attached a rubber mask made from an old stomach pump in his instrument kit to the fourth tube, held it for a few minutes over each baby's nose.

Dr. Cullen often tells the story of their first meeting, in Toronto's General Hospital in 1891. Young Tom Cullen was the intern assigned to handle the great Dr. Kelly's instruments.
