Pamela Glen thought this as she

mother closed the window. While the

a sponge. a basin of ice water in
which she placed a muslin compress),
a hot-water bottle, we'll protected,
which she placed near the child's
feet.
Wringing the compress from the
cold water, she put it in the child's
head, and proceeded swiftly 10 sponge

blankets, using quantities of water,
and long, even strokes. The water
dried almost at once on the child's
hot skin.
