Simply warm or heat the persou ; nothing else is necessary. The best way to do it is to take off the cold, wet clothing from a perce, wuep bim in et shed DIAOkES BSA quilt, carpet, or anything which wili hol water ; pour water as hot as the hand can bear pol Person, filling it with the hot water and replenishin; it until the person is heated through. Theo, he has a good stitution and is uninjured, he will gasp; that one will soon be followed another, and that one quickly by others. This ought to restore in one to two hours any = son who has not been under water more than three hours, If no hot water is at hand, make some fire aud heat an abundance of it right the person toa ere where it speedily as possible.g eon: 4%-John J.
