THE only thing that can say to warn
people so that they may avoid prostration
Is to use no alcoholic drinks. to be careful
about overexertion and to take cool Baths.

CONDUCT FOR HOT WEATHER.
Superintendent of the CITY Insane
Asylum Tells st. Louisans
How 10 Avoid Heat
Prostration.

Undoubtedly the hot weather has a de-
oideG effect in increasing the number of
assault cases through all the degrees from
plain disturbance of the peace to murder"
says Doctor E. c. Range. Superintendent Of
the City Insane Asylum. one of St Louis's
noted aienists
1.-The heat lowers the physical tone and
eccelerates the circulation Physical de-.
preston always produces irritabi.ity and
an accelerated circulation paves the way
TO anger
This lowering OF the physical tone is not
an indispensable accompaniment Of hot
weather. The trouble is that In places
where the heat is unusual the Inhabitants
make no special provision TO meet it. In
tropical countries the people are CUSTOM
ariiy lazy. In ST. Louis the inhabitant tries
TO perform the same amount of work in
hot weather that he would perform during
cold weather. An abnormal waste OF it's
sue results because in hot weather all the
organs have an increased activity The
waste of tissue is the result OF chemical
action. and heat always intensifies chemical
action.
II hygienic rules are observed no rea-
son appears why either prostration or alb
normal irritability should intervene That
is well shown by our patients here. They
manifest not one unusual symptom which
can be traced to the heat. unless 1t is that
IN few cases intestinal disturbance has
resulted from drinking too much ice wa

Second-Eat moderately of light vege-
tables and fruit, eschewing meats and fats
Third-Avoid exercise unless absolutely
necessary, and reduce the daily task as
much as possible.
'Fourth-Get at least eight or nine hours
s,eep. II difficulty is found in falling asleep
cold applications to the head or to the
Wrists may prove helpful. A bath before re-
firing acts differently in different cases. It
makes some subjects preternaturally wake
full.

Die, and X you must go into the sun carry

'Sixth-keep all the functions as near
normal as possible, especially those which
subserve excretion. like the skin and the
intestines.
Il do not notice an increased irritahIllty
among the patients here. visit them each
