HOW To TREAT sUNsTRoKE.

Your "Man on the Avenue" on Wed nesday
gives your readers some directions in refer
enCe to the treatment of sunstroke, and his
advice is to do just what in all probability
has been done from time immemorial in every
fatal case that has ever been treated. Now it
occurs TO me II Is time to call halt. 1t re-
minds me much of tho story of farmer who
administered IA pint of turpentine to his sick
horse. Some time afterward his neighbor,
whose horse was also sick called to know what
he had given his horse. He replied, "a pint
Of turpentine." And without making any in
quiry as to the result he hastened to admin
lister the same to his. Soon afterward No. 2
told No. / tho turpentine had killed his horse
Yes, said No. /, and SO il did mine. But, said
No. 2, you told me to give it, No, said the
first, did not. You asked me what gave
but made no inquiry as to the result.
Now it seems to me that this advice TO
apply ice and cold water to the head and
body, with cathartics and stimulants, inter-
nally and eternally, in sunstroke, is more
result of custom than from any utility ever
derived from it. Any wood chopper would
tell you ii your hands or feet We're frozen to
not go near the fire; that the application Of
snow and friction TO get up reaction was
the proper treatment. No one but an idiot
would plunge u child from kettle of hot
water into a tub OF cold yet every summer we
hear the same advice: " Ice and stimulants
for sunstroke." The fact is sunstrokc, or as
the French have it, "coup de soliel, "is not a
disease per se for it is doubtful if any one is
ever overcome by the heat whose system is in
good condition. Gastric arrangements from
drinking all kinds Of stimulants, lemonade,
ice, mineral and soda waters, eating cakes,
ice cream, and other indgestible substances,
together with late hours or loss of sleep, con-
duce to an attack, and without deranged
stomach from some such cause, and in the
absence of other diseased conditions, the sys-
tenn will resist to awonderful extent extremes
of both heat and cold,
Instead, therefore, of applying cold for sun
stroke, if any external application is used at
all, by all means let IL be warm instead of
cold water; sponging the head aud face with
warm water while the patient is vigorously
famed to promote evaporation and reaction,
will do more in five minutes to restore con-
sciousness and an equilibrium in the system,
than can ever be effected from the Oppo site
extreme. AS for cathartics aud stimulan Is,
throw them to the dogs. O. PEARSON.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
THE PAYNE oBsEoUfEs.
IN Ia. Elfitnr


Permit me to state in roply to unfavorable
comments of an evening paper upon tho ar
rangements for the Payne obsequies that
every singing organization in the district was
invited to participate, and no singer who vol.
unteered to assist was rejected. Every one in
sympathy with the occasion has had ample
opportunity to attend the rehearsals. The
subject has been thoroughly advertised by
the press, and every volunteer has met the
fullest, freest, and heartiest welcome. If any
fault Is TO be found 1t is that while the lead
ing vocalists of our city are so generally rop-
resented in tho chorus, greater restrictions
have not been made TO prevent the drifting in
of useless material.
Tho carpng criticism that can see no good
in anything unless IL brings in the dollars is
unworthy any one who aspires TO be in any
sense leader of public opinion.
We heartily commend the delicacy Of the
committee making arrangements to prevent
the spirit of vandalism that characterzes SO
many free exhibitions in this city, and feel
confident no one who has friends buried in
Oak Hill will object to the precautions taken
to prevent graves from being trampled on
and flowers and shrubbery broken down or
injured by persons not in harmony with the
occasion.
All honor to tho sentiment that has brought
the remains Of John Howard Payne TO Home,
Sweet Home," and the general response to tho
invitation OF the committee SHOWS It's nigh
appreciation by the best musical talent of the
district. Every occasion that calls musical
people together for the practice of singing is
commendable, and, like the parks, reserva-
tons, and statues in our beautiful city, and
above all the gallery of art, is an educator Of
the people.
The enterprise that gave Boston her music
hall and big organ made the peace jubilees
and monster musical festivals possible, and
have created an appreciation of the divine
art that cannot be unduly estimated. We
already have in the district an oporatic asso-
citation whose excellence is unquestioned; We
have one of the finest amateur orchestras in
America, and military band unsurpassed on
this continent. With an oratorio society, of
which this chorus might be nucleus, and a
music hall in which to hold operatic, orches-
tral, or oratorio rehearsals at popular prices
every two weeks during the winter, Wash
ngton might well claim high rank among
the musical and art cities of America.

Liver medicine ever known, and it recalls to

1t is positive remedy for all diseases of the
Kidneys, Bladder, and Urinary organs. The
proprietors' names should be written in lot
ters of gold, for few men have done so much
for their suffering fellow-beings. One trial
them to proclaim to all their friends the
many virtues of this great medicine. The
demand increases as il becomes known, and
where it is best known the sales are the
largest. AS Mrs. Browning says, Great is
