TREATMENT OF SUNSTROKE.
VALUABLE AND TIMELY SUGGESTIONS BY
A DISTINGUISHED PHYSICIAN,

"Sunstrokes'' are sudden attacks
occurring in hot weather, and atten-
ded with symptoms Of. exhaustion,
often Of Inconsistencies, labored
breathing, occasionally with convul-
sions, and, in many cases, speedy
death.
Exposure to the rays Of the sun is
not necessary to produce these at
tacks, as many occur during the
night or in close rooms. Hard
work, loss of rest, drunkenness, or
dissipation or over-eating increases
liability to attacks Of sunstroke.
RULES FOR MANAGEMENT.
l. Garry the patient carefully, but
promptly, to the nearest shade.
2. Secure for him ss much circula.
ton of wholesome air, as may be
possibly obtained.
3. If the skin lie hot, sponge with
cold water or ice.
4. If the head is very hot and the
arteries Of the neck pulsate violent.
ly, apply ice.
5. Give two teaspoonfuls of good
brandy or whisky every ten to if
teen minutes. The addition of two
to three drops of launanum to each
dose of the stimulant prevents vom-
.iting 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 patient is able 10 swallow them.
Z. Don't allow the patient to be
removed or raised from a recumbent
position until sufficiently recovered
to render it safe to do so. This sell
dom occurs for hours, and often not
for days, after the attack.
8. Send at once for doctor, not
for half a dozen. Otherwise valua
BILE time may be lost by differences
in opinion as to whether the case is
one of congestion or of exhaustion.
1t is always safer for non profes.
sional prescribers, and generally fa-
fer for doctors, to pursue methods
of treatment calculated to relieve
more or less profound exhaustion of
vital powers.
A doctor weighing 200 pounds at
SO in the shade may subscribe him

THE COMET.
GOING TOWARDS THE SUN.

ROCHESTER,, \. Y, June 25th, 7:45
p. m.-Director Swift, of Warmers
Observatory, says the nucleus OF the
new comet grows smaller and bright
er, indicating it's progress toward
the sun. The stars showed undim-
med through the substance of the
tail; and activity is apparent in the
head. Last night a new jet of light
projected from the nucleus.
The rate Of motion is very rapid.
The comet will be visible for several
weeks. It is not the comet Profess.
or Swift found on May 1st, as many
affirmed. That comet has a differ
ent direction, and be. doesn't think
it is the comet of 1872 or 1861. A
strange thing about the tail is that
it curves toward the direction Of
motion. Several dozen claims have
been preferred for the Warner 5000
prize.-[Special Telegram to the N.

INSIDE CONFEDERATE HISTORY,


Jefferson Davis book has had the
effect of bringing out great deal of
the secret history of the Confedera-
oy. Davis harsh criticisnfof some
of the Confederate leaders, and bis
failure to do full Justice to others,
have called out replies from someni
those who were closely associated
with him throughout the entire way.
Generals Johnston, tongstreet ard
Malone have made statements in
defense Of themselves or of other
leaders, and one of them, Johnston,
has not been sparing in his criticism
of Davis. Lately, in an interview
published in The Herald, General
Malone denied the statement of Da
Wis that General Lee never contem.
plated surrendering to Grant. He
said: :.
Tho statement that General Lee
never contemplated surrendering is
not true. | had conference with
General Lee in his own quarters at
Appomattox Immediately after the
surrender, when, in discussing the
latter days of the Confederacy, be
said to me that some time before
during the winter, be had urged up.
on Mr.. Davis the desirability of ma
king terms with General Grant. He
detailed to me some Of the converse.
tions with Mr.. Davis, which I do not
now recall. Davis, be said, would
not listen to the proposition, and in
sisted that he must fight to the last.
General Lee told me that he ex.
planned to Mr.. Davis the situation of
the two armies, the condition of bis
transportation and the inferiority of
his command in point of numbers to
that of Grant, and that when Grant
attacked him it would be next to i'm
possible to get away, and therefore
that terms had better be made with
out further loss of life or property.
Grants cavalry, his artillery horses
and his transportation were in excel
lent condition, and only nine miles
from his base of supplies. Lees
we're quite the reverse, and be had
10 supplies to be spoken of in case
of retreat. The talk between Gen.
eral Lee and myself upon this sub
ject marked itself most indelibly up.
on my memory, for he evinced so
much feeling in reference to Mr.. Da-
Wis refusal to make terms that i
said:
II wish you had called confer.

"What would they have doner'

"They would have taken the mat.

and authorized you to deal with the
