Halt of the people dying from
desert thirst perish i'll thirty-siX
hours, a quarter 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 i'll three stages
namely, normal thirst, functional
arrangement and structural degeu-
Grafton. These three stages are
made up of five phases the clam
erous, cotton mouth phase, the
shriveled 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 SINH
lar substances. The second, or
cotton mouth, phase should be
treated by giving the victim quarts
of water taken i'll small sips and
flooding his body. Practically the
same treatment MAY be applied TO
the third, OF shiveled tongue, phase,
with the addition of a medicine to
counteract the fever and a tonic for
the heart.
Water would only prove a dam
age i'll the fourth or blood sweat
phase, and even if it were possible
to satisfy the thirst of the victim
his mental condition would never
be clear. Death from thirst is often
painless. Los Angeles Times.
