DESERT THIRST.
It's rive Phases. Two of which Mean

lbs Five Phases, Two of Which Mean
Certain Death.
ITalf OF the people dying from desert
thirst perish In thirtysix hours, quar-
ter within forty eight or fifty hours and
all others of which the history Is known
within eighty hours.
The phenomena of desert thirst may
be arranged In three stages-namely,
normal thirst. functional arrangement
and structural degeneration. These
three stages are made up of five phases
the clamorous, cotton mouth phase
the shriyclcd tongue, the blood sweat
and the living death. There Is hope In
saving the lives of the victims whose
thirst Is diagnosed In the first three
phases, but for the fourth and fifth
death Is certain.
The clamorous phase of desert thirst
may be relieved by water, or in some
Instances fruit acids or similar sub
stances. The second, or cotton mouth,
phase should he treated by giving the
victim quarts of wafer taken in small
sips and flooding his body. Practically
the same treatment may he applied to
the third, or shriyeled tongue, phase,
With the addition of Il medicine To
counterAct the fever and tonic for the
heart Water would only prove Il
damage in the fourth, or blood sweat
phase. and even " II We're possible tt
