Hot Water Typhoid.
From the London Tattler.

From the London Tattler.
 One of the latest cures has just been tried at the London Hospital In the form of hot water bath as cure for ty- phoid fever The patient. a girl of about 20, was immersed In a bath of warm wa ter and remained in it six days and nights, the water, of coure, being kept at an even temperature during the pe- riod. At the end of the sixth day tho girls temperature had fallen from 1G5 degrees to 101 degrees, which is decidedly a rapid fall in a fever usually so pro- longed as typhoid. 1t is certainly an age of cures but it Is remarkable how little attention has been paid to preven- tions, which are proverbially. at all events, better than the most ingenious cures.
