The changes OF our time have Deen
as marked in the s;ck-rocm as in the
railway Car or the Telegraph office.
The trighttul doses of calomel and
SIENNA and castor-oil so common a
century ago, are almost unknown.
We wonder how our ancestors sur
vived the administered drugs, when
the disease was not fatal.
In attacks of typhoid fever, it was
customary to bleed patients, and to
starve them also, in order to loosen
the hold on the system. 1t is now
thought important to retain all the
blood and enrich it by nutritious
food, that the strength may be sus-
tanned against the severe drain made
on the system by tie fever.
Cold water used Ito be refused to
patients parched with thirst, though
they begged for it5piteously. IL is
now given freely as nature de
mands it.
Flowers, also, useA to be banished
rigidly from sick Eooms, as they
were thought to consume oxygen by
night, and make the II unwholesome
for the patient. BIT tests applied
in large green hPuSes, have found
the air as pure I; hleIisIsat :'rnia-.exyy gen
In the morning as at midday, and
it may be hoped this superstition
may be abandoned A little beauty
and fragrance in the sick-chamber
may keep up cheerfulness and hope,
which often are better antldotes than
drugs.
