The Most Effectual Method for Controlling the High Temperature Occurring After Ovariotomy (Classic Reprint) Paperback -

I have said that evidences of desultory efforts at this method of lowering the temperature will be found in the works of old writers. I will quote but one, which appears on the nine tieth page of Collier's translation of Celsus: But when an ardent fever is consuming the patient, no medicinal potions are to be given, but he is to be cooled in the accessions with oil and water, mingled by the hand until they turn white: he should not be half suffocated with bed-clothes, but covered very lightly. Also Vine-leaves steeped in cold water may be applied upon the stomach. He is not to be harassed with ex cessive thirst.
