DANGERS sOF OCEAN BATHING.
Many Lives Lost at the Seaside Re.
sorts Through FooIhardiness.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
"Now comes the season for bathing
and swimming, and many persons will
lose their lives at the seaside resorts
simply because they do not follow the
rules that ordinary common sense die
tates," said DR.. Henry Dimmert of
New York, who was at the Planters.
1T may be well to mention a few
familiar facts, that the dangers to
which bathers often expose themselves
may be avoided. One of the simplest
of these facts is that. as in all bodily
exercises, moderation is beneficial and
excess is dangerous in swimming. Es-
pecially is this true if the bather suf-
fers from organic or functional heart
trouble. The man who uses tobacco
to excess or who is weakened by long
confinement as a sedentary occupation
needs to take fully as much care as he
who is the victim of chronic disease of
the heart. No sensible man would at
tempt to run as far as his strength
would permit. if at the limit of his en-
durance, he knew he must go through
an equal amount of violent exercise
TO save his life. Yet foolish men and
foolish boys daily try to see how far
and alarm and worry the spectators on
the shore by their exhausted efforts to
return. The first dip is especially
dangerous. and the expert who knows
that he can make the second buoy be-
cause he did it last year would bet
ter rest content in his confidence and
try some shorter and safer trip for
his first dip of the season.
he foIl . hot aIu
much agitation among sensitive-mind-
ed people on the beaches of our sea-
side resorts. To see a human being
struggling in full view in peril of his
life while the spectator is helpless is
sufficient shock to ruin the pleasure of
hard earned holiday Visitors to the
board walks or the piers are daily en-
tertained by these fOohardy exhibi-
tions Of bathers.
almost all the deaths among the
bathers by drowning result either
from failure of skill or muscular force.
A skillful swimmer can rest quite cas-
lily, rocked in the cradle of the deep,
provided his heart and nervous
strength are not already exhausted by
violent muscular eXertion. If, however,
the circulation is impeded or the ner-
vous strength exhausted, cerebral con-
geston, heart failure or nervous spasm
is liable to seize even the expert and
| render him as powerless as baby in
the mighty arms of the oceans waves
The nervous strength is exhausted al
| most as much by exposure to cold as
| by muscular exercise. To remain in
the water until one is chilled through
| blue, trembling and chattering-is to
invite cramp. 1t is a signal that the
| blood from the surface has retreated tc
the central citadels, and that the blood
strain on these is at the danger mark
| Such exercise is not benefit to the
| health, but a distinct harm. A sand
| bath for all who suffer thus is far
more strengthening. One should never
| bathe just after eating-that is an old
! rule supposed to be known in every
! well-regulated household, but hundreds
seem to forget it at the seashore. The
advice to all is moderation in swim
ming at the seaside resorts"
