SYNCOPE (FAINTING OR SWOONING).

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

hypodermically if necessary.
