The majority of cases dealt with are the result of ex ensiye burns or other grave injuries sueh as gunshot wounds and ratlway accidents. Electric shock ix also quite common. Severe shock may be produced by fright alone. As an illustration of the treatment, it may be supposed that a man has been injured in a railway accident and is found in a condition of shock, Those who attend the case should at once loosen the clothing and make ® rapid but careful examination to ascertain if hemorrhage exists or if some condition is present which calls for immediate action.
