IMPORTANT PREscRipTIoN-D Lindsly, Of
Washington, strongly recommends the mode Of
treatment of scralet fever, resorted to by DR..
Schneemann, physician to the King of Hanover
il is as follows, and exceedingly simple: PEA
Treatment Of Scarlet Feuer By Inunction.
From the first day of the illness, and as soon as
we are certain Of its nature, the patient must be
rubbed morning and evening over the whole body
with a piece of bacon. in such manner that with
the exception Of the head covering Of fat is ev-
cry where applied. In order to make the rubbing
in somewhat easier, it is best 10 take piece Of
bacon the size of the hand, choosing part still
armed with the rind, that may have firm craps.
On the soft side of this piece Sits are to be made
in order to allow the oozlng out Of the fat. The
rubbing must be thoroughly performed, and not too
quickly, in order that the skin may be regularly
saturated with the fat. The beneficial results of
the application are soon obvious; with a rapidty
bordering on magic, all, even the most painful
symptoms Of the disease are alayed; quiet sleep.
good humor, appetite return, and there remains
only the impatence to quit the sick room. .
