assertions, and bear the consequences

Timely Suggestions as to Treatment
of Persons Overcome by the Heat.

1. Garry the patient carefully, but
promptly, to the nearest shade.
2. Secure for him as much circulation
of wholesome air as may be possibly OBJ
tanned.
8. If the skin is hot, sponge with cold
water or ice.
4: If the head is very hot, and the ar
teries of the neck pulsate violently, ap-
ply ice.
5. Give two teaspoonfuls of good
brandy or whisky every ten or fifteen
minutes. The addition of two or three
drops of laudanum to each dose of the
stimulant prevents vomiting or purging,
which is liable to occur and often to
prove fatal.
6. Don't give large draughts of cold
water or any other fluid, even if the pa
tent is able to swallow them.
z. Don't allow the patient to be moved
or raised from a recumbent position I'M
til sufficiently recovered to render it
safe to do so. This seldom occurs for
hours, and often not for days, after the
attack.
s. Send at once for doctor, not for
half dozen. Otherwise valuable time
may be lost by differences in opinion as
to whether the case is one of congestion
or exhaustion
1t is always safer for non-professional
'prescribers, and generally safer for doc
tors, to pursue methods of treatment
calculated to relieve more or less pro-
found exhaustion of vital powers.-Er.
