ish-white color and may be profuse. -The temperature 
rises, pulse runs from 44 to 60 beats to the minute, the - 
fever depending upon the amount of surface involved. The 
appetite is often lost and the patient becomes debili‘ated;

find the eyelids swollen considerably as seen in pink eye 
and tears flow freely over the cheeks. 
WHAT TO DO

plenty of fresh well water to drink. Syringe out nostrils 2 
or 3 times a day with carbolized water and should throat 
become affected apply mustard plaster on under side from
