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 tur- 

 pentine 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 do more without his advice. 



Sunstroke is a sudden prostration due to long ex- 

 posure to great heat, especially when much fatigued 

 or exhausted. It commonly happens from undue ex- 

 posure 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.
