he is comfortable. Bathing opens the pores of the skin, 

 and through them the system discharges a part of the 

 hurtful wasts of the body. This bathing should be con- 

 tinued, several times daily, during the disease and dur- 

 ing convalescence. 



The internal treatment is uncomplicated, safe and use- 

 ful. The basis of it is cold water, and always plenty of 

 it to drink. Water cools the body and assists to cleanse 

 it of the poison which makes it sick. The elimination is 

 carried on through the intestinal canal, through the kid- 

 neys through the lungs and by the skin. Let the sick have 

 water, it can do no harm in any case; water only does 

 good. What cruelty it was in fever cases, to keep water 

 from them, and what suffering it caused. A tablespoon- 

 ful of Peroxide of Hydrogen (Marchand's) is added to 

 each glass of water. It is the best and most simple 

 remedy that can be given that is likely to be of benefit 

 in helping to cure Typhoid fever. Continued for a few 

 days, it is then laid aside for a few days and Grlycozone 

 substituted in its place, both as a relief to the patient 

 and for the beneficial effect of the remedy itself. And 

 so on in this way the tw^o remedies are alternated, which 

 is found by me to be the best arrangement for adminis- 

 tering these valuable antiseptics. The preparation, Grly- 

 cozone, is chemically pure, redistilled Glycerine in which 

 Ozone, or concentrated Oxygen, has been incorporated, 

 and can be taken with as much freedom and safety as 

 pure Glycerine. The Glycozone may be taken in doses 

 of half a tablespoonful to a glass of water as often as 

 water is taken during the day. When it is desired to 

 allay nervousness and induce sleep at night, sulphate 

 of Codeine is used, in doses of from one half to one 

 grain, by the mouth, or one quarter to one half grain by 

 the hypodermic method. This remedy tranquilizes the 

 nervous system and induces sleep, and should be admin- 

 istered at night.
