To those who have chosen a career in the service of the Crown in the tropics, the subject of heat stroke is one of importance second to none. If an officer of our public services suffers from heat stroke at the outset of his career, he may either be compelled thus early to give up his chosen path in life, or, if he recover sufficiently to return to duty, he will always be subsequently liable to second attacks, and thus be debarred from participating in valuable appointments involving service in the hot plains. The especial object of this paper is to indicate a means of prophylaxis, which, in my own case, I have found exceedingly efficient. As I had, previously to the method to be later on described, suffered on four different occasions from the effects of the sun, it would seem that there is some value in it.

心脏病

对于那些选择在热带地区为皇室服务的人来说，中暑是最重要的主题之一。如果我们的公共服务人员在他的职业生涯开始时中暑，他可能会被迫如此早地放弃他选择的人生道路，或者如果他恢复到足以重返岗位，他将永远容易受到第二次攻击，因此被禁止参加涉及在炎热平原服役的有价值的约会。本文的特殊目的是指出一种预防方法，在我自己的情况下，我发现这种方法非常有效。正如我之前在稍后描述的方法之前，在四种不同的情况下受到太阳的影响，似乎它有一些价值。
