=SCARLET FEVER.=—Give five drops on sugar every three hours for the
general symptoms and throat. If the skin is dry and hot, or the
rash does not come out, put a teaspoonful in a quart of hot water,
soak this up in a sheet, and pack the patient closely in it, with
double blankets closely pinned outside to keep in the vapour; after
keeping the patient in an hour, sponge over with Eucalyptus water
made as described. When getting better, rub over the whole body an
embrocation consisting of one part of the Oil and two parts olive
oil. Sprinkle in the bedroom to prevent infection.
=AGUE AND REMITTENT FEVER.=—Give three to five drops four or five
times a day, and sprinkle about the bedroom.
=As a DISINFECTANT, DEODORANT, and ANTISEPTIC.=—The sweet and
refreshing aroma, although peculiar at first to some, supplies
to a sick room an exhilarating and purifying effect. A few drops
sprinkled on a cloth, and suspended in a room, is a sweet and
thorough deodorant and disinfectant.
