Lower the Head to Let the Blood Back
to the Brain.
Painting is a loss Of consciousness
due to the dirinution of BLOOD supply
to the brain. 1t occurs most frequent
~ in weak, sensitive women, hut may
occur also to men as well. IT. usually
occurs in crowds or in crowded halls,
theaters and churches, where the at
mosphere is close and the air foul.
Painting usually lasts only a few
minutes, aid the person RECEIVERS i'm.
mediately wher taken out into the
fresh mir. hut there are cases in which
it lasts much longer. sometimes for an
hour or more. The first aid treatment
of fainting is usually very simple.
Take the person out into the fresh
air and lay him fat on the back, with
the head lower than the feet.
This can be done by grasping the
feet and holding the body go that the
head hangs down, or take an ordinary
straight back chair. turn it over so
that the back forms an angle with the
floor and place the person on the back
OF the chair with the head hanging
down. This position with the head
hanging dt-vn favors the flow of the
blood back to the brain.
All tight clothing about the neck and
waist should be loosened. Smelling
salts or aromatic spirits OF ammonia
applied to the nostrils aud cold water
sprinkled on the face, chest and hands
help 10 restore consciousness.--Nat
