PERIL INWINDOw WASHING
If You Do it in the Bright Sunlight.

The first day session of the Kansas
Medical society opened at Hamilton
hail this morning with about OO physl-
clans present. The meeting continues
up to tomorrow night, and 1t IS expect
ed that the attendance will be sWelled
by the arrival of a number of members
this afternoon.
The session today will be devoted eX-
clusively to the reading and discussion
of papers. Three papers were read this
morning, one by Major J. NJ. BanniSter,
Fort Leavenworth, one by DR.. L. Rey-
nolds of Horton, and one by DR.. w. S.
Lindsay of this city. DR.. Lindsay s
paper was on Cerebral Hyperaenia, -
which to the Iaity may be described in
the most satisfactory manner by using
the word ''sunstroke," and was proba-
bly, the most interesting of the papers
read.
one point that Dr. Lindsay brought
out in his paper was the danger attend
ant on washing windows in the bright
sunlight. He described the case of a
young man who became Overhea ted
while washing windows one day last
: fall and as a result his brain became
so seriously affected that he was in a
few days transformed from an intelli-
gent young man into a street corner
politician with a mania for discussing
the financial question.
As an original and much appreciated
feature of the meeting this year, lunch
is served to the members of the society
in an ante-roOm of the hall. There the
physicians can procure sandwiches and
coffee and strawberries and cream at
any hour that their innerselves may
suggest.
