as well as when they are not in use; and the body must 
be carefully and quickly washed with warm water (and 
soap) at every change of the poultices. Keep in one room 
with a fire and the temperature at 60°; also have the 
bronchitis kettle steaming all the time. 
Without doubt, many cases of severe influenza terminate 
fatally, where the patient is made to stay in bed; more 
especially is this the case where poultices are not used in 
a rational manner for aiding in the removal of the matter 
clogging all.the passages of the lungs. 
A fresh chill taken while the patient imagines he is 
recovering, is more dangerous than the primary attack of 
influenza, and will often result in pneumonia. Incorrect 
treatment at this stage is followed by death or consumption. 
Like every other part of the body, the lungs require 
exercise, not only by their own natural action, but also by 
assistance through ‘the muscular movement of the body. 
While lying still day after ddy, the bronchial tubes are 
becoming more and more corroded ; but when an effort is 
thade to rise, even if only for a few hours, natural action 
immediately sets in, and. portions of the strangling phlegm 
are set in motion by natural expectoration. 
Strong acids do only harm, but the mixture of honey 
and lemon, together with the warm moisture from 
poultices, etc., will always help on towards a rapid recovery. 
The bronchial tube is lined with a minute hair-like growth, 
which is always in active motion, constantly passing 
onwards and upwards the mucous secretions of the lungs. 
These restless agents are destroyed by that inflammation 
generally known as “sore throat,’ hence the difficulty in 
then keeping the lungs clear, and the retarding action of 
drugs and strong acids so frequently administered. On 
the other hand, the warm pack, and rationally applied
