The means are warmth, moist- ure, stimulants, and friction; and clothing to the extremities and to parts of the body that are cold; and cold applications to parts that are unnaturally hot. One of the best equalizers of the cir- culation is the " Roman bath," the vapor bath, and wet packing. Should the inflammation exist internally, then give plenty of warm water, emolient drinks, and emolient enemas, and keep up a physiological action and heat on the surface of the body by means of friction and warm clothing. In this simple way the circulation of the blood is equalized, or, in other words, the in- flammation is " cured;" and, at the same time, this treatment may cure the disease as well as the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Dadd, George H. , b. 1813.
