prostrated by sunstrole. 1t was in a little interior city, and was acting as collector for business firm. We had been having exceedingly hot weather for more than a week, but I had not felt any i'll effects from hav- Ing been exposed to 1t. On the morn- Ing of which I speak, however, felt little soggy; l think it was. due more to indigestion than excessive heat. When I started out the sky was entirely clouded over, and it looked like rain; but the day was close and warm, although probably five degrees cooler than the day before had been. 1 began work at half-past eight in the morning, and walked steadily from place to place about town until ten. About that time or little later I started to cross bridge. This bridge crossed little valley as we'll as a considerable stream, and some fifty feet from it's beginning stairway ran from it down to the ground below. Just before I stepped on the bridge l remember feeling of somewhat op- pressive warmth. The clouds by this time had changed somewhat and while the sun was not shining directly 1t diff fused and heating glow came from one-quarter of the sky. had taken an umbrella with me with the idea that it might rain before night, and I raised it to ward off that glow. As I passed on to the bridge I felt bit dizzy. A slight mist came before my eyes, and in 1t foated black speclss
 This did not frighten me, however, and had no thought of sunstrohe. fig ured that the disorder was a very slight one, and due to the indigestion from which had been suffering.

My head ached dreadfully, and could feel that my eyes were protuding. knew that there was so much blood behind them that 1t was pushing them out. It took me some time to gather strength enough to ask him what he was going to do with me. Finally, did Speak, however. He told me that 1 was ill, and that he was taking me home. He said that the heat had been too much for me. He told me that had had sunstroke and that had been for sev. eral hours in bath of ice water. My temperature had finally decreased until they thought that 1t was safe to move me. There Waa 10 snchD h

teresting to note that in the south, where the heat is greatest, there are fewer fatal cases of sunstroke than there are in the north. The reason for it is obvious. In the south the people are accustomed to great heat; in the north they are subject to sudden and very great changes of temperature, so that they become accustomed to noth- ing. As matter of fact sunstroke does not necessarily proceed from ex- posture to ver% great heat. Other con- iditions are # important as tempera- ture. A man may be ssunstruck be- cause, on hot day, his stomach Is out of order. A man may be sunstruck be- cause he is worried about his business ior his family or his pet horse. A man may be sunstruck because he has been insufficiently fed, has not had enough sleep, brand this frequently occurs because he has been drinking too much liquor. It is safe to say, in fact, that liquor plays its part in at least two, thirds of the cases of serious heat pros tration. The handicap under which 1t places man is shown very clearly by an instance which recently occurred in New York.
 James McKenna was very strong man, full of vitality. He did not drink. On recent very hot day, however, he indiscreetly exposed himself to the merciless sun. He went down under It. He was taken to Bellevue hospital. The first thing the physicians did there was to attempt to take his tempera- ture. They thrust thermometers under his tongue in the usual manner, ex- pecting to get temperature of l03 degrees, the average sunstroke tenn perature. Instead of that, the mercury rushed up in the tube until it could go no further. This was entirely unprece- dented>in the history of the hospital. The regulation physician's thermom- eter registers 110.4 degrees. No one knows exactly how high McKenna's temperature was. The doctors can make shrewd guess that it reached the neighborhood of IA degrees, but it is only a shrewd guess. Here comes in the liquor, or, rather, the lack of it. All the physicians at the hospital agree that if McKenna had been even mod crate thinker there would have been no need of taking him to the hospital nt all. Time and trouble could have been saved by carting him direct to D6 porgue. But he was not drink

A sUNsTRoKE's STORY.
One Victim Gives an Account Of the Sensations Experienced.
Some General Remarks Sunstroke and Drink-The Autobiography-His First Blow-Regaining Oonsoiousness-
 How to Treat Such @ Case.
IcoPYR1eHT. 1ss4.l

Here Is the autobiography of sum stroke. The man who told the story to me is more than thirty years old. His painful experience occurred three years ago. He has not recovered from 1t yet. It is doubtful If he ever will.
 Sunstroke Is curious thing, It Is 8 disease, but 1t is on accidental disease. In the course of year 1t kills more people In the United States than are killed by all the railroad accidents put together. In 1899 three hundred and twenty people died in New York city from heat exposure. In Philadelphia the fatal cases were fewer; in Chicago they exceeded four hundred. It is in-
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-08-08

 effects of the sunstroke-it is even pos sible that he will be hopelessly insane when he Is released from the hospital but he lived through a temperature which would have killed drinking man in the wink of an eye. This article is not temperance lecture, but, 1t Is well, just the same, to be moderatel in your imbibations when you intend to spend day under the hot summer sun.
 l had talk the other day with Dr. Dole, the chief physician at Blooming dale insane asylum. It is probable that Dr. Dole comes in daily contact with more lunatics, bowling and oth- erwise, than any other man in the United States. Dr. Dole told me he had in his charge at least forty hope lessly insane men and women, whose Insanity could be traced directly to sunstroke. He confirmed the state ments that had been made at Bellevue concerning the danger of hard drink Ing in hot weather.
 But to return to the autobiography pf sunstroke. This Is the way the man tells his story:
 Tt was not a hot day when 1 was
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-08-08

those days as an ambulance in the little city, and he was doing the best he could. The doctor, he said, was riding up on the box with the driver. Then went to sleep again and did not regain my senses until long time after had reached home.
 'sI woke up in bathtub filled with ice and cold water, and there was an ice cap on my head. It felt very pleas ant, and I tried to ask them, when they got ready to take me out, to let me re- main longer, but I was too weak to speak. l was carried from the bath tub to bed, and although l knew l was suffering intense pain, l did not mind 1t very much. It seemed to me that it was some other man who was really suffering and that I simply knew about it. I was very sorry for him. By and by gathered strength enough to ask them to hold handglass so that 1 could see my face They did so. It was swollen and livid. I then realized for the first time exactly what had hap pened to me.
 ''I was i'll for a long time. During the entire remainder of the summer was not able to endure even so much as one ray of sunlight on my face, al- though 1t might touch my hand without bothering me. The first of December came before I had really gained my strength enough to venture out of doors at midday.
 ''I do not know that have entirely recovered yet. Sometimes l feel that the effects of the sunstroke are still bothering me, but as my physician as- sures me that my attack was 8 very light one, I am not afraid that shall be seriously troubled in the future"
 Sunstroke is technically known as heat or solar asphyxia or apoplexy. It need not be due to the sun particularly. Any great heat may cause it. In the sugar refneries and other factories where the heat Is great-the stoke holes of ocean steamships among other places -prostrations are not unknown in the winter time. Sunstroke is almost al- ways accompanied by loss of conscious ness and very high temperature. In bad cases some practical paralysis of the nervous system and the voluntary muscles. It Is accompanied by pain
 
 and feeling of fullness in the head, oppression at the stomach and some times nausea and vomiting. Vomiting during the unconscious period and in- voluntary evacuations of the bowels are instanced as very grave symptoms. The eyes are quickly affected, some- times dilating, but often contracting. Cold applications to the head and cold baths are now accepted as the best treatment A regular physician should be obtained, however, the earliest pos sible moment, as each case has its own peculiarities which can be judged and treated properly only by a man of ex- perience.

able to CLEAN the least information
as to his whereabouts. McCaskey
has been Deputy County Clerk at
New Martinsville for three years, is
30 years old and has a wife and three
children. No reason is known for
the dethronement of his reason.
