small pieces of garlic during tlie day. These 

 are considered preventatives by tlie Medical 

 Faculty. 



Treatment — G-ive mild purgatives, such as 

 Oil, to keep the bowels open. Drink plentifully 

 of balm tea, if this cannot be had, use Sage, 

 Hysop, Saifron Blossom, or Dittany. This 

 will bring out the eruption and keep it out full. 

 If this can be accomplished, the danger will be 

 very much lessened. This fact should be kept 

 in view in all eruptive diseases. Keep a Tar 

 Plaster around the neck; add to the tar a small 

 portion of Spirits of Turpentine, keep this on 

 for some time, renewing, adding turpentine 

 enough to cause the skin to red. If the pa- 

 tient be not very careful when he gets out, he 

 will take cold, and the glands of the neck will 

 sv/ell and supperate and the ear will run, and 

 if great attention be not paid, deafness will 

 probably be the result. 



They must be kept clean and Laudanum and 

 Sweet Oil put into them every day till they get 

 well.
