A Cure For Typhoid.

f 110-" inS letter aPPeared receßtly in m -°-, on '""Times." It is from the Rev. 0 Stephens, of Savernake, and «. secretary to the Savernake Hospi jjnor-'j'.

Iff! the'recent discussion as to the canto jiid fever, has'not an equally if not ■ important question been overlooked, hetaer tbe treatment of fever almost 1 y . adopted throughout England is \_\_m efiicacious means of arresting, -_f__-ki and cul' ius fcne cllsease? ■ f there is another system worthy IL 0 consideration at the hands m medical profession at large, following facte clearly prove: - if -being taken suddenly ill last year ftacerner and acute symptoms of a Ltcned fever setting in, my friends M in Br. Steiger, who enjoys a con- Ste reputation throughout Switzer mHe ordered me at onco to be what r_U ' packed;' and on my expressing She said, 'I am thankful to tell IS the doctors of Switzerland and Lem have at. last learned the value of STremedial measures. When Bour- Ssarmy entered Switzerland, I had iL of the fe^er hospital for this dis- S.'and out of twenty-four patients ling from typhoid fever (two were mm Av'ms)- I .c._ ed t? vo I nfc>; fcw? _foly by application of the wet sheet. I y neither medicines nor stimulants; Me soldiers completely recovered their yt_jn_very short time. During the g e i_iit years this system has been jjjriHfon in the Basle Hospital with signal access, reducing in' a surprising manner lb death-rate in the fever wards. In mtatepractice I invariably adopt this sys || jnd rarely lose a patient whom I have toted from the beginning of tbe fever. I (ot been particularly successful in puer kql and scarlet fevers. This system is W-most generally adopted throughout Sritelandand Germany." Through Dr. teer. assiduous attention and packing iataenl. I was able to resume my journey itwodays. May I be allowed to explain Reprocess and the principle ? i*l The Process. - A blanket is spread Eton the bed, and a sheet, wrung out in «_ water, placed on the blanket. The aik. is then wrapped up in the sheet, and tightly packed round the body. (Ha blankets are finally placed over the In lieu of the sheet, a towel or fajsmay be used, depending entirely on intent, of fever and the probable re ififfliary powers of the patient. The sheet i__ewecf every ten minutes or quarter of ihonr according to the temperature of the sly, which is ascertained from time to time [placing a thermoinetor in the arm iof the patient. It will be found 2. each-sheet will reduce the fever _j_^__eto seven degrees. This process isis_iK.for about an hour, after which Aej___t:is quickly washed over for _a coupleol_s_u.es, either on the bed or in a tepid baft, md put back into bed. It is rettm. a. Intervals of four or five hours h_ the fever is entirely subdued, which erLn. is isaally shown by a spontaneous I; of natural perspiration. By if (.thermometer, the fever can be cfrebk by repeated sheets as easily 0 engine can be controlled by the f the machine. He Principle. ■- It is always difficult lin'iii simple language a system ig upon and which ought to be by tne laws of science. But, in lids, the wet-sheet pack is simply jpbtdtice. As is well known, tbe of all diseases is the determination in excess to the interior of the id the foundation of all curative i ought to be the withdrawal blood for healthy redistribution rat the body. This is the principle life and of the wet-sheet pack. laws the heat of fever as generated anulatecl blood; and it is con- until the body re normal temperature through a re i_librium of circulation. Farther, on,'which is the cause of specific -thus mado to expend itself ly, without involving the i:the destructive consequence aged febrile excitement. It has ved,- without' doubt, that the dis ■ this system can be arrested and 4 in the course of a few days, wining what is considered the 'rae of 7,14, 21, and 42 days The J. t period also of a long convales s. entirely avoided. It is at f&t request of many friends .now venture to make public itements; and I trust the medical Bat large will accept these sugges ftespirit in which they are ofi'ered. unable to enter into 'the and scientific part of the question ; Sifter, of Lucerne, with whom I „y beenin correspondence,has given nission to use his name, and any afesed on this subject wi 1,-1 am |ye his best attention. The only lean now offer for this letter is tho fflt I have long taken in hospital Ithe conviction that a system- so I its application and so effective f! when adopted in such countries and Switzerland, is not un m practical consideration of tho Profession in England."
