should be dashed over the face and head. The patient must be kept

awake, walked about between two strong persons, made to grasp the

handles of a galvanic battery, dosed with strong coffee, and vigorously

the effects of belladonna. But a knowledge of medicine is necessary for

dealing with these articles.
