One Of the simplest remedies when

cold water into the face or to wet a
cloth in cold water and slap the face
with it. Usually a person is advised
to lie down when feeling faint. A
much better way is not to lie down at
all. If one is sitting and feels faint.
the proper thing to do is to cross the
hands over the abdomen and then
bend forward as far as possible. The
effect is to compress the abdomen.
This forces the blood into the brain
at once and the faint feeling disap-
pears very quickly. This is a much
more convenient and effective means
of preventing fainting than to lie
down. The power there is in simple
methods is marvellous. It Is SO much
better to use cold water. pressure

lieve fainting than to put drugs into
