HOW TO TREAT SUNSThOKES.

Hints for Hot weather and the way
to Avoid Being Overcome by the
Heat
eve are now prepared to attend any
case OF sunstroke which may be brought
TO u.s." said the house surgeon of Cham
bers Street Hospital to New York
Telegram reporter. eff the weather
should turn suddenly warm we shall
undoubtedly have cases before the mid
die of this month"
Glow early do you generally have
sunstroke cases?" was asked.
"Last year as early as the middle of
May, and we have had them even ear
lier than that, but this year we have
had no cases as yet, owing to the re-
markable GOODNESS Of the weather"
.-~ "Where do you treat the patients?"
Gin the basement of the hospital
where there are number af small beds
which are suitable for the purpose, an
oilcloth sheet is placed over the mat
tresses so that the water which is used
will not soil them, and over this is plac-
ed linen sheet. When a person pros
trated by the heat arrives In the ambul-
ance we make all haste in placing him
on one of these beds. The treatment,
although quite simple requires con-
siderable care. We first have to reduce
the temperature of the body. This is
done by wrapping the patient in blank.
cts soaked with cold water, or by
simply administering spray bath of
cold water, and by placing ice bags
around his head. Too sudden change
of temperature must be avoided. The
shock Of placing the patient in an ice
cold bath would be fatal. 1t is also
necessary that he should be kept per
fectly quiet. These suggestions about
the treatment Of q patent may be found
valuable whore a doctor cannot be
reached and should be carried out with
out hesitation. In case of failure Of
the heats action stimulants must be
given. If the patient IS delirious he
may be kept quiet by small doses of
bromide. Purgative8 may also be
gwen.
But prevention Is better than a cure.

overcome by the heat?"

in the hot sun and get heated they are
affected by the heat. The blood may
also become overheated from over
doses of alcohol, and sunstreke will re-
suit more quickly under such condi-
tions. An ordinary person may cor

Judge lynch.


That is simply the outer circle of a
whirlpool. A shower Of brick bats
a surge up and down-broken heads
"a cry of "police!" and your crowd
scatter like sheep, and slink away
like ours.
A mob sets out to resist the author
ity.s Nine out of every ten men in
it are towards. They boast and brag
and encourage, but they keep their
own bodies in the background. They
want to see some one hurt; they
know that law will triumph, and
they want to be able to prove that
they were simply lockers on. One
brave man will walk into a mob and
defy and over awe it.
A brutal outrage has been COM
mitted. 1t is an affair that stirs the
blood Of sons and brothers and brings
dangerous light to the eyes of hus-
bands and fathers. There is no
boasting or shouting. Knots of men
gather here and there, and they
speak with fierce earnestness, but
with low voices. No mob surges up
and down-nO wild yells rend the
air-no crowds furnish drink to ex-
cite young men to foolish deeds.

\ 1t is not shouted, but spoken in
whispers or read in each others

does not always punish sufficiently.

When men who never plrtake Of
a meal without bowling the head in
prayer whisper these words, look
out! The heart burns and thrills.
For the time being law is nothing.
Fathers whisper 1t to sons, brothers
whisper it to each other, merchants
to mechanics. Lips tighten and
grow pale, teeth shut close, eyes
flash as you never saw them before.

groups-the groups consolidate into

answers, the pale faces which tell
you what danger turks in the crowd;
a noisy crowd can be scattered. 1t

body of men will take your life if
every man has to peril his own.
1t is a jail. Key or no key, the
prisoner must come out. The crowd
