    My votes in the this game would go for 1) CPR --reliably raising the recently deceased by pounding on their chests and breathing into their mouths is sure to impress, or 2) hot air balloons. 

    CPR just buys you some time to get to a defibrillator. Artificial respiration works without any supplementary tech but it was well known in the past. It was only when scientists discovered that the purpose of breathing was to supply oxygen to the body that AR went into disuse (after all, what good does it do to blow carbon dioxide into someone?). Fortunately (for us) the technique was resurrected in the 1950s.

    I would go with chemistry for miracles. If you happened to be in a place where the bugs were bad and you knew how to make DEET from scratch, then you would be a God. Instantly.
