Tf one may judge from tho fiction «f one'a grandparents, the act of fainting, or becoming unconscious, almost took rank as a social ac- complishment. The young ladies, and often the young gentlemen if they were very fascinating, spent & great part of their time in Swoons; and as extreme emotional sensibility was the keystone of fase- ination in Byronic days, it follows that these incessant and alarming syncopes were the direct result of emotional shocks. Now although it is true that emo. tional shocks will cause fainting- spells in certain persons, still one cannot resist the impression that many of these otherwise excellent young persons were either giving themselves a treat, or at least weakly yielding to an unfortunate social taste. Still it may be conced- ed that the conditions of those days were more in favor of fainting than are our own, The corset of sixty years ago was a cruol and unyielding instrument of torture, exercising its pressure in such a way as to interfere 'with the breathing apparatus; athletics for girls were almost unheard of, and few rooms were properly yen- tilated,--especially bedrooms,--all | of which causes may have conducted to that condition of cerebral ane- mia which is the underlying reason | for a fainting-fit, Cerebral anemia means an insuf- ficiont supply of blood to the brain, and may be brought about in vari- ous ways, When a person faints from a sudden shock, caused by an accident or from some unnerving sight or sound, it means that the feeding of the brain with blood has been sharply imterfered with, re- sulting in a temporary loss of con- sciousness, A hemorrhage from any part of the body will act mechanically to produce the same result, Persons with weak or disordered hearts often faint readily, becauso | any sudden demand upon the heart may cause it to sond out a hurry call for more blood than the sys- tem is slo te supply. The same thing is often seen when a person convalescing from an acute illness faints from a slight exertion, some- times even from a too abrupt iakle drink for-a fever patient. Paris quotes source affirming that the marriage og King Manuel of Portugal and Princess Victoria Patricia, young- est danghter of the naught, will occur next May. Seema ent anata ee change of posture. The blood rush- es down to meet tho call upon it, tu go on with for the moment. This also applies to sufferers from chro- fective circulation, whose blood sup- ply is always insufficiont,. For a simple fainting-spell but little treatment is needed. The patient should be placed in a hori- zontal position in order to equa- lize the circulation, and should be allowed plenty of fresh air. A whiff of ammonia cautiously given acts &$ @ quick stimulant. In a case of prolonged faint, cold water may be sprinkled over the faco and chest, or a mustard plaster placed over the region of the heart. -- , Youth's Companion.
