How to Treat Sunstroke. 



Take the patient at once to a cool and shady place, but don't carry him 

 far to a house or hospital. Loosen the clothes thoroughly about his neck and 

 waist. Lay him down with the head a little raised. Apply wet cloths to the 

 head, and mustard or turpentine to the calves of the legs and the soles of the 

 feet. Give a little weak whiskey and water if he can swallow. Meanwhile, 

 let some one go for the doctor. You cannot safely do more without his 

 advice. 



Sunstroke is a sudden prostration due to long exposure to great heat, 

 especially when much fatigued or exhausted. It commonly happens from 

 undue exposure to the sun's rays in summer. It begins with pain in the 

 head, or dizziness, quickly followed by loss of consciousness and complete 

 prostration. 



How to Remove the Smell of Paint from a Room. 



The smell of paint may be taken away by closing up the room and setting 

 m the centre of it a pan of lighted charcoal, on which have been thrown some 

 juniper berries. Leave this in the room for a day and a night, when the smell 

 of the paint will be gone. This is also effectual in removing the odor of 

 tobacco smoke from the room.
