deaths since the hot weather set in, thus
describes the symptoms and the proper
remedies 10 be applied
"The symptoms Of its approach differ
somewhat. In some cases its attack is very
sudden. with slight indications, if any, of ito
approach; though, as a general thing, vertigo
or dizziness, ringing in the ears, dimness Of
sight, pain and heaviness in the head, are
the precursors Of coup de soliel and of apo.
plexy. Persons experiencing these symp
toms or their approach, should Immediately
quit work, and ride home and by making
free use of cold applications to the head,
will, in all probability recover.
"Place the patient in cool and airy stu.
alton, with his mead and shoulders elevated,
and while some one is removing his cravai,
unbuitonino his shirt collar and removing or
oosening whatever else that may he tight
about his person, dash suddenly cold water
on his head. This may be done with a
pitcher, or any suitable vessel held al some
little distance above the head, pouring out
upon il large and steady stream. Mustard
pIasters may also be used over the upper
part of the fee, and on the wrists. But,
continue the water, and the patient must be

Silence was plepsed. Now gllw'd the armament
