room attendance is very seldom
known outside of hospital ward.
and not even there in many cases;
the hint is how to obtain q cold cloth
without the use of ice. Every one

forting things in the world. In the

scarce, all that is necessary is to wet
a linen cloth, wave it to and fro in the
air, fold it, and place it on the patient
Have another cloth ready, wave it to
aud fro, just before applying it;
these cloths have more grateful and
lasting GOODNESS than those made so
by the burning cold produced by ice
