When man falls quivering and
feyerish on the pavement, his fin
gers clinched, his face purple and
his eyes rolled upward, then is no
time to hunt up medical book
and study treatment. Whatever
is to be done must be done quickly
and in heroic fashion. Some of
the policemen are becoming adopts
at treating cases of sunstroke, and
the skilled attendants at the hos
pital take hold Of q victim and
apply vigorous treatment with rap
idity and mechanical skill.
Here is what happened at the
Cook county hospital when No. 7
came. The six who had been
iced and dose and tucked away in
cots up to 2 o'clock were all doing
nicely and young DR.. Taylor
minus coat and vest was standing
in the shade of the arched stone
entrance wondering whether No. 7
would be an interesting case. His
sleeves were rolled up and a clean
handkerchief was knotted loosely
about his neck. In and around
the monster building of red brick
it was just as hot as anywhere else
and some Of the attendants who
famed their flushed faces and
strolled about uneasily seemed
ready for the treatment them
selves.
Down the white stretch of Harri-
son street to the east was heard a
clatter of hoofs and rolling of
wheels. The blue patrol wagon
was being drawn by two ,foaming
horses that seemed to sway with
exhaustion, even while they kept
up their keen gallop. On the seal
was the big driver in his shirt
sleeves and behind two helmets
could be seen bending under the
rough canopy that had beer
stretched from the brass railing
The wagon whirled into the grave
drive and came to a halt in from
of the building. Almost before j
stopped the two stout officers hae
pushed out the cot OH which lay

"He's in a bad way" said tn

the policemen trotted through tn
dark corridor and hurried the cot t

they lifted it out and carried tn
victim into the long room with 1t
