FACTS WORTH KNOWING.
The Treatment OF Persons Overcome by
Illuminating Gss.


Some extraordinary science seems
10 have illuminated the recent meeting
OF the American Gaslight Association
AT Toronto. during the discussion upon
the remedies 10 be employed In cases
whore persons were suffering from the
inhalation OF gas. IL Is not uncommon
for the workmen OF the gas companies,
in looking for leaks or digging up
broken pipes, To be overcome by the
gas, and, according 10 the accounts Of
the treatment TO which they are sub
Jectcd by the surrounding philanthrop-
lists, they seem 10 be fortunate il they
escape With nothing more than a tenn
porary loss OF consciousness. One of
the participants in the discussion had
had the prudence O. ask advice on the
subject from "A physician, who gave
him sensible set OF rules, consisting
mainly in directions 20 give the sufferer

tus, 80 that recovery followed rapidly.
Another gentleman had had some
what different experience. On one
occasion, when seven OF his men
were found insensiblc i'm trench
from an escape OF gas. he had
them carried into purcr atmosphere
sprinkled with water. and doscd with
whisky and water until they were
sufficiently restored 10 eat, and then
gave them apples. After they had
devoured these, IL was found that "the
acid OF the apples Immediately started
the gas out OF their stomachs,' and
they were soon able 90 drink some
coffee and walk h~nc. 4 similar
method of starting the gas out Of
their stomachs' OF his men with acids
had been tried by third member
who. however, used vinegar instead OF
the acid OF apples. The fourth remedy
mentioned was not an amateur device,
but the prescription OF IA physician,
who was said TO have on two occasions
treated men overcome with gas by
injecting carbonate of ammonia.
Whether this application was intended
20 "hbrcatc the breathing apparatus
or "to start the gas out OF the stom-
ach' we are not informed, but IL II not
surprising 20 hear that the patient
