when the SUMS rays pour down with
their greatest intensity, and infiict
upon the head of man the dangerous
malady known as coup deSOLel, is now

seized by the maiady in question.
One of the best preventives is a thin
piece of sponge loosely sewed into the
hat, and occasionally moistened with
water in the course of the day. We
have heard of a man who walked
twenty miles under hot sun with
damp pocket hand kerchief inside the
crown of his hat, and did not suffer
any inconvenience. The precautions
are so obvious and simple that people
do not regard them. Were they COM
