How TO TREAT A CASE OF SUNsrRoKE

How TO TREAT A CASE OF SUNsTRoKE.
For one sunstruok the most effective plan is
removal to a shelter, free application Of cold
water to the head, water to drink if the
patient can swallow, and medical aid with
out delay. A favorite treatment of sun.
stroke in the army, said to have been very
successful, was the continuous dashing of
the patients body with cold water until re-
Vival took place-often for an hour or more
with plenty Of water to drink, when
swallowing was possible. A trial Of this in
civil practice is certainly justi6able, seeing
that under the usual treatment every case
