4 In cases of diphtheria, it appears to
us that fresh air is the first. necessity !;
we should allow diphtheiiaf patient to
be near an open window Next, we
should use hot malt vinegar for flannel
wraps round the throat, gargles, of the
same diluted with water, and the most |
tonic diet possible Neither quinine ]
nor mineral tonics, but hot, Strong
wines, yelks of eggs beaten up in strong |
beef tea warm baths made of chamo-J
mile flowers; feet placed in mustard |
and water, and flannel wraps soaked in
hot vinegar around the stomach. The-i
juice pressed from raw beef, heated in a 4
farina boiler and given constantly, but,
above all, hot, red wine. Inhalations of
the fumes of vinegar with open mouth
and pencilings of the same within the
mouth. The use of lemons is also to be
recommended. Diphtheria is. a pre-
ventable disease. and when we know
more of the conditions under which the.
health of human life can exist, and are
inclined to listen to it and act according
to it, we shall have fewer epidemics
such as those of diphtheria.-Food and
