 fever, and the doctor said he would die, as most of his 

 fever patients did ; but in the night, when the watcher 

 was asleep in his chair, the patient, ' burning up with

 of honey, such as fruit pies or puddings, cakes, &c. ; while 

 a basin of bread and milk is made very palatable when 

 sweetened with it.
