Treatment Of sunstreke.

The Red Cross Book gives these
symptoms Of sunstroke: Headache,
dizziness, faintness, "seeing DOUBLE"
nausea, weakness of the knees, la-
bored, noisy breathing, groaning, some
times delirium and commissions, pulse
full, strong and rapid, face red and
skin intensely hot to touch, the latter
always marked symptom.
Treatment: Take the patient to n
cool place, strip, sprinkle with iced
water Common garden sprinkler Is the
best to tse). Also rub body with ice
simultaneously. If pulse grows weak
give stimulants. Avoid the use Of
whisky. When temperature falls to
1O1 degrees discontinue sprinkling
Put patient to bed. Cover lightly; use
ice bag for head. If temperature rises
again it may be necessary to repeat
the treatment. During conyalescence
keep the patient in a cool room and
give light or stimulating and easily
digested diet.
An eminent physician approves Of
these Treatments, and adds that If the
heart action is bad and faintncss
comes on aromatic sDirits of ammonia
Il half tcaspoonful in wine glass
of water-should be given. Three or
four doses within two hours should be
the extreme amount given. Antipy-
rctics given to reduce the fever are
useless in sunstroke and harmful in
most cases.
''To relieve the victims Of sunstroke
as quickly as possible is the imperative
Indication" says noted practitioner.
"They should be removed to the shade,
the garments should be loosened and
cold water dashed on head and neck.
Lumps Of ice wrapped in cloths are
sometimes useful as local applications,
and often mild stimulation to maintain
proper heat power is indicated.
Further than this it is not safe to go
without medical advice as to particular
requirement. Even before all this is
done ring for an ambulance may
bring further assistance in time to be
available"
