SUNSTROKE AND HEADSTROKE. Every .summer the daily papers publish accounts of people who have been overcome by heat. These seizures used to he called sunstroke; they are now described as heatstroke or heat apoplexy. It would in all probability be correct to distinguish between sunstroke and heatstroke, because the influence of the direct rays of the sun I upon people who are unaccustomed to it differs in kind from the influence of heat only. Heat plus light is recognised thereapeutically as affording a stimulant more powerful than heat alone, but one which is different in kind as well as in degree. So far as our present knowledge goes, however, it .is only possible to recognise that excessive heat, whether or not it be accompanied by excessive light, is liable to break down the mechanism by which the temperature-of the body is regulated, and thus to give release to symptoms which are always alarming and sometimes fatal.—Dr Leonard Williams in “ The Empire Review.”
