hope, sir. you will find rcon for the following
case and statements in your widely circulating
paper. Ii was that of lady who had taken a
violent cold, which, with bilious state of the
system in the course of three or four days rcsnted
in high general fever, attended with de!irium.
The friends being anxious that Hydropathic treat
ment should be resorted to, as the only alternative,
a woman. who has g knowledge Of Eater-Cure,
was prevailed upon to undertake the case.
At the time of commencing, the fever was so
high that the pulsatons could not be counted for
frequency. The determination of blood 10 the
head, and The delirium, were truly alarming. The
tongue and mouth we're completely parched, and
the lips and .ongae cracked. The patient had
been mostly without sleep for three days and
nights. The cooling wet sheet was Immediately
applied, secundcm a, tenn, and frequent draughts
Of cold water administered. So intense was the
thirst that the patient, in her phrensy, held the
tumbler in both hands with convulsvc grasp.
By frequently changing the sheets as fast as they
became warm, together wilh ice cold applications
constantly at the head, and the internal apPlica-
tons OF water, in less than three hours the fever
was completely reduced, and the pulse brought
very nearly to its natural state. PerSpration-

pains of the head and back were wholly removed,
and the patient, in her right mind, sank quietly
TO sleep in the net sheet. Aftc! remaining about
an hour, she was removed, washed rery quickly
with Croton water without ice, rubbed perfectly
dry, and placed com ortably in bed after which
she slept we'll through the night, and in the course
of the next day walked out in the open air; and
has continued to improve ever since.

it has not already proceeded beyond the reach OF
any kind of cure, similar results to the above can

be easily brought about Oa the plain principe

means of simple waite, cool the human body in
state of high fever, and this amounts to remo-

not be long in finding out. The utter foolish
