pt in bed,
and in the cold stage, covered with blankets and surrounded with bottles
of hot water. The Compound Extract of Smart-weed should be administered
in some diaphoretic herb-tea. During the hot stage, the extra clothing
and the bottles of hot water should be gradually removed and cold drinks
taken instead of warm. During the sweating stage the patient should be
left alone, but as soon as the perspiration ceases, from two to four of
the Purgative Pellets should be administered, as a gentle cathartic. A
second paroxysm should, if possible, be prevented. To accomplish this,
during the intermission of symptoms, the Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken in doses of from two to three teaspoonfuls every four hours in
alternation with three-grain doses of the sulphate of quinine. If the
attack is very severe, and is not relieved by this treatment, a
physician should be summoned to attend the case.

REMITTENT FEVER. (BILIOUS FEVER.)

The distinction between _intermittent_ and _remittent_ fever does not
consist in a difference of origin. In the former disease there is a
complete intermission of the symptoms, while in the latter there is only
a remission.

TREATMENT. The treatment should consist in the employment of those
remedial agents advised in intermittent fever, the Golden Medical
Discovery and quinine being taken during the remission of symptoms.
During the height of the fever, tincture of aconite maybe given and an
alkaline sponge-bath administered with advantage. As in intermittent
fever, should the course of treatment here advised not promptly arrest
the disease, the family physician should be summoned.

CONGESTIVE FEVER. (PERNICIOUS FEVER.)

This is the most severe and dangerous form of malarial fever. It may be
either intermittent or remittent in character. In some instances the
first paroxysm is so violent as to destroy life in a few hours, while in
others it comes on insidiously, the first one or two paroxysms being
comparatively mild. It is frequently characterized by stupor, delirium,
a marble-like coldness of the surface, vomiting and purging, jaundice,
or hemorrhage from the nose and bowels. In America this fever is only
met with in the Mississippi valley, and in other localities where the
air contains a large quantity of malarial poison.

TREATMENT. This fever is so dangerous that a physician should be
summoned as soon as the disease is recognized. For the benefit of those
who are unable
