Give sudorific medicines to produce free and copious perspiration ; and for this purpose give a vapour bath, using an infusion of bitter herbs, as hops, camomile flowers, pennyroyal, tansy, catnep ; add vinegar ; cover, and infuse a or 3 hours. It should be repeated. If the patient cannot bear the fatigue of the bath, place hot bricks, or bottles, to the sides and feet. Give also Sudorific Powders, which see, until the breathing is relieved and free perspiration induced. As soon as the patient is relieved, the bowels must be regulated by giving a gentle purge, and also an emetic, repeat u necessary ; continue the sudorific powders ; as these means are calculated to unload the chest, and return the blood to its former state. Injections, where the foeces are hard, and the bowels lethargic, are of great importance, and should be given occasionally. If the cough is troublesome, give some of the Cough Remedies, or the Expectorant Syrup, or Cough Pills. The inhalation of the steam of bitter herbs while infus- ing in boiling water serves to decrease the tightness of the lungs, and to pro- mote expectoration. This should be repeated several times a day. Should there be much irritation, or spasmodic affection, use the Pulmonary Syrup. Bathe the feet occasionally in warm water. Mucilaginous drinks should be taken, as linseed, with a little lemon juice. An infusion of horehound, boneset, catnep, with slippery elm, sweetened with the finest sugar, or sugar-candy, is a very proper drink. Great attention'must be paid to diet ; it should be simple and easy of digestion ; as arrow-root, sago, beef-tea, without or with a little salt. When the inflamma- tion is subdued, and the tongue is clean, give tonics, or the Composition Powder.
