Place the patient in a recumbent position. Loosen all clothing,
and dash cold water on the face and chest. Spirits of ammonia or
smelling salts should be used with caution, and not brought too near
the nostrils. The pulse and general appearance will indicate if
condition is serious. Give whisky and strychnin sulphate (¹/₃₀ gr.)
hypodermically if necessary.
