Anything that causes a lowered vi
tality predlsposes to sunstroke. Hence
persons addicted to the use of alcohol
are very frequent victims. The inges-
zion of large quantities of iced drinks
predisposes to sunstroke. Constipa-
ton of the bowels is also predispos-
ing factor. A person in perfect health
can endure very high temperature
with little danger. II is only when the
living machinery is doing imperfect
work that sunstroke is possible.
A sunstroke is usually preceded sew
eral days before by feelings of ill
health-loss of appetite, indigestion,
constipation, scanty perspiration and
indisposition to active exercise. The
stopping of persiration is an ominous
sign.
When person falls with sunstpke,
he may complain of pain in the head
or over the heart. The skin is hot and
dry. temperature very high-106 to 10S
degrees, with disturbances of respira-
ton and pulse, nausea and vomiting,
insensibility and stupor, weakness, or
even complete paralysis.
The patient should be removed at
once to cool, shady place, his cloth
ing loosened, ice applied to the head
and spine, and cold water douches
| given; cold bath can be used, also
| cold anemas. A very simple and eff.
| fective treatment is the shower pack,
| which is given as follows: An ordi.
nary mattress is covered with oilcloth.
upon which the patient is placed,
| wrapped In a sheet. and sprinkled
with cold water as often as the sheet
dries by evaporation. Ice may be ap-
| piled to the head at the same time.
To avoid sunstroke, see that the gen.
eral health is good. Discard alcohol
les and narcotics, use iced drinks
| sparingly, especially when warm, keep
the bowels active, and use an abund-
ance of fresh fruit. A cold sponge
bath in the morning, adding a little
salt to the water, followed by a vigor-
GUS rubbing, is simple and valuable
stimulus to the healthy action of the
skin.
The treatment for sunstroke is cold
applications, and practically nothing
but cold.

No Specific Medicine for tuberculosis

No Specific Medicine for tuberculosis.
The Committee on the Prevention
Of Tuberculosis of the Charity Or
ganization Society of New York, in
It's annual report recently issued pub
lished the following resolution:
Whereas, There is no specific
medicine for this disease tconsump-
tom known, and the so-called cure,
and specifics, and special methods of
treatment widely advertised in the
daily papers are, in the opinion of
The committee, without special value,
and do not at all justify the eXtrava-
giant claims made for them, and serve
chiefly to enrich the promoters at the
expense of the poor and often ignor-
ant or credulous consumptiyes there
fore,
Resolved, That a public announce
ment be made that 1t is the unani-
nous opinion of the members of this
committee that there exists no spe-
cific medicine for the treatment of pull
monary tuberculosis, and that no cure
can be expected from any kind of
medicine or method except the regu-
iarly accepted treatment, which relies
mainly upon pure air and nourishing
food"
DR.. S. A. Knopf states very emphat-
lcally that consumption is cured sim
ply and solely by the judicious use of
Gods fresh, pure air, sunshine, plen-
ty of good water. inside and outside,
and good food"
Nevertheless. new specific rem.
edies" for this disease are constantly
being exploited. A Paris physician
is now advocating injections of sea
water into. the tissues as a cure for
tuberculosis. An American doctor is
also experimenting with a compound
of raw vegetable juices in connection
with other diet. Both of these so
called remedies, however. have yet to
be thoroughly tested.

PRACTICAL HYGIENE
The Proper Care of the Body
The Supreme Need of the tuberculosis

Inc supreme Need Of the tuberculosis
Patient.
In the Journal of the American
Medical Association DR.. Norman
Bridge calls attention to the fact that
the tuberculosis mortality has been re-
duced in the last thirty years from
l4.25 to 10 per cent of all deaths.
These results are not accidental, but
are clearly due to the increased knowl-
edge OF the best methods of treating
this disease. In order to point out
the best course he calls attention in
the following words to some common

the one supreme need Is for more pow
er in the afflicted body to restrict or
destroy the tuberculosis process. For
our present guidance this truth is so
vital that 1t takes rank with a confes-
sion of faith in religion.
I'VE have given our patients some
drug, and have neglected the half doz-
en- measures whose tendency is to in
crease the power of the patient. Thus
we have often thrown away the great
resources Of rest, fresh air, outdoor
life, changes in surroundings, and a
systematic effort OF increase the nutri-

ures referred to.
ITO give drugs. while the patient is
allowed to go in an unhygienic course
of life without advice or correction, is
an error awful in it's results.
every one of these patients should
be constantly supplied with outdoor
atmosphere in such abundance that
every successive inspiration brings a
fresh dose of air to the lungs, and
none from previous expiration. Every
one should have long hours of rest
II feverish, the rest recumbent should
be almost or quite constant, for exer-
else increases the fever. The digest
i've powers should be made to do their
best, under the most careful supervis-
Ion, toward improving the nutrition
and possibly also the resisting power
of the patient.
Patients have been allowed to stay
indoors without proper ventilation,
and breathe poisoned house-air
three-quarters of the time. We have
subscribed to the popular untruth-as
pitiful as it is groundless-that pa
tents in gentle current of air called
a draught are in danger of colds and
other harm. and so we have kept them
breathing over and over again their
contaminated air. The truth is, one
never takes cold in any draught, even
wind, If his body and head are kept
warm by clothing. The advice Of the
profession ought to be to keep in a
draught, never out Of it; only it would
lessen the business of the physicians
while 1t would be Of incalculable ben
eft to the people.
"a consumptives body should al
ways be we'll and equally clothed, and
should never be hampered or restrict
ed by garments. Snug corsets and
conventional gowns are an absurdity
for the tuberculosis woman; worn as
they are by most such women, they
frequently tip the scales in favor Of
death rather than recovery"
