How about this then: When a person is so much affected by a pungent smell, as to cast him down, instantly convey him to a place where there is fresh air, dash cold water upon his head, face and chest. Then let a person press upon his breast bone, and push his bowels up to his chest, and suddenly let them go, producing the same action as breathing, which must be continued some minutes. Rub the chest and limbs with brandy or ammonia, mixed with oil, as a stimulant. Hold ammonia, or strong smelling salts to the nose, tickle the throat to cause sickness. If cold put him to bed, put bottles of hot water to his feet, thighs, and armpits; and if possible, get some brandy, or other spirit and water, down his throat; or put him into a warm bath, and use the flesh brush while in it.
I like the way it always refer to the patient as him.
