treatment for sunstroke which can be
distinguished from haat exhaustion by
the hot, dry, red skin of the patient
and the deep breathing.
Heat exhaustion differs in tits sym-
ptoms by producing a cold, damp akin
and shallow breathing. The treat-
ment consists of placing him iin the
shade, opening his clothing about the
neck, lowering his head below the
rest of hie body and administering
coffee or other sthnulants. These
are justifiable even in childhood under

tor comes.
A fracture needs splints put on so

the bleeding can be ,00ntrollecl often
by pressure above the wound or by a

a wound indicates a cut artery and
the bandage should be placed between
it and the heart. If the bleeding is

from a vein and the bandage needs
to be beyond the wound instead of
