A Canite of Drowning:,
In swimming under a blazing sun the
body is submerged at a low tempera
ture while the full force of the sun
beats on the unprotected head. To add
to the obvious dangers of snch a state
of things the blood Is forced Into the
head by the pumping action of the
limbs In swimming, thus causing the
arteries in other parts of the body to
be overfilled. The consequence is often
a violent headache, which may be fol
lowed by insensibility. The swimmer
sinks and unless help is at hand adds
another to the long list of the mysteri
ously drowned.
