Note 519 — Chapter VI · SWEATING SICKNESSES.
B. G. (Benjamin Guy) Babington translation
Everything heating was avoided; the air was cautiously purified, cooling beverage was given, and contrary to the method of Brown, at that time in vogue, few medicines, such as valerian, spirits of hartshorn, Hoffman’s drops, &c., were employed. Blisters were of service, and likewise, under some circumstances, camphor. The convalescents were well nourished.
