glass of lemonade. Cover the abdomen with dry flannel, then wrap the

child in a white woollen blanket wrung out of hot water, put a dry

blanket on top, then add sufficient covering to cause perspiration.

In some cases placing hot water bags outside the outer blanket

quickly induces this. After one hour of perspiration, during which

time lemonade and gum arabic have been given freely to drink,

the child should be wiped dry and made comfortable as to the amount

of clothing. Lemon juice tends to remove deposits, which form on the

inner part of the mouth and helps with ulceration.
