The Queen IA q Woman.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
Queen victoria's letter to the English people,
thanking them for the interest they displayed
in the marriage OF the Duke OF York. is one Of
those simple expressions Of womanly feeling
which have done SO much to keep her in touch
with her subjects. Whatever may be said Of
her as a sovereign, her conduct as woman of
good sense and feeling has long been one Of
the well-springs Of her popularity among the
English people.

What are your methods OF caring for cases
of sunstroke?" was asked OF the surgeon in
charge of the dispensary Yesterday afternoon
I'VE at once strip the patient of all clothing"
said he, ''place him on n wire mattress and
freely sprinkle the body with ice water, after
which, in severe cases. we place ice bags on the
head ard over the region of the heart In such
cases the temperature runs from lOl TO Ito and
pulse from ITO TO 100 or over l40, and the CHIEF
point is 10 reduce these. We give bromide OF
sodium until the quantity Of blood in the head
is lessened and reduced to a normal condition.
The patient must be kept quiet. for there is .
tendency TO delirium. The first symptoms OF
sunstroke are dizziness. then things look
green after which the blood vessels OF the
brain diate and Inconsistencies soon results.
The dangers Of treatment come from collapse,
which sometimes results from a sudden applica-
ton of Ice TO the vital parts Then brandy and
