Take two dry goods boxes, one Of
which is enough smaller than the other
to leave space of about three inches all
around when it is placed inside. Fill the
space between the two with sawdust
packed closely, and cover with heavy
lid made to fit neatly inside the larger

A case of severe diarrhea controlled
