Hot Weather Advice.

"Do not get COOL" is the Scientific
American's hot-wcathcr advice the mean
ing being that sudden cooling of the
body is likely to induce bad colds, which
are harder to cure in summer than winter.
1t also says that ice water should be drunk
slowly, with pause after each swallow.
Hot tea is recommended because "thc debiI-
ity and downward progress of the system
is arrested by the warmth of the water and
the stimulating quality of the tea, until
strength begins to be impaired to the sys-
tenn" Gauze worn next the body absorbs
pcrspiration, and prevents cold, but should
be often thoroughly aired and dried. Per-
sons who allow mental overwork to OK
haust them are particularly liable to sun.
stroke. at is n foolish popular idea that
this terrible malady is due to the concen-
tration OF the suns rays on the head. Per-
sons are frequently struck, as it is termed,
in the night, but are more apt to be so
late in the afternoon, when the system is
depressed by the heat and nervous cxhaus-
ton. The way to avoid sunstroke is to
order ones drinks so that vitality shall
not be lowered, and the conditions f.vora
BILE to the disease superinduced. A sun
stroke, if not fatal, leaves the patient less
able to endure mental or physical work
ever after, and requires from him constant
care against pulmonary disease or second
visitation
