of linen fourfold, long enough to reach
twice around the neck. It is dipped in the vinegar-water at from 59
degrees to 64 degrees, placed around the neck and some woollen material
wound over it, covering well the moist linen.

The neck pack has its effect on the inside of the neck in case of
tonsilitis, croup, etc.

If stiffness of the neck, headache or similar pains are felt after its
use, the moist linen should not be extended to the back part of the neck
but only the front and sides.

Where the effect is to be extended to the trachea and its branches, the
bronchia and the tips of the lungs, especially in the case of cough, it
is still better to apply the following:

SHOULDER PACK (26)

For this purpose a short towel is folded into a strip of about a hand's
width, extending from one of the nipples across the opposite shoulder,
around the neck, to the other nipple.

A woollen shawl or fabric, fastened together with a safety pin, must
cover the moist towel completely. The shoulder pack is always applied
together with the abdominal pack. It is put on first, and the two ends
are pulled under the abdominal pack, and then fastened.

THE SCOTCH PACK (26)

The Scotch pack is of the greatest advantage in all diseases of the
trachea and the lungs, also in case of whooping cough.

Two towels are sewn together lengthwise and, as a moist pack, are placed
over the breast of the patient so that the seam will be in the center.
The ends are crossed over the back, one end is brought forward over the
left and one over the right shoulder; then the ends are crossed once
more and tucked under. A woollen shawl or covering is placed over the
moist towels as usual, so that it completely covers the moist pack. The
ends are tucked under the pack in front. The pack is fastened with
safety pins where the ends cross.

THE DIVIDED SCOTCH PACK (26)

This pack is, in some respects better than the last, since it is less
liable to form creases, and the upper portion may be changed more
frequently for the purposes of cooling, than the undivided pack. It is
used together with the abdominal pack.

Instead of using one strip 4 to 6 inches wide, folded 4 to 6 times, as
for the shoulder pack, two strips are taken. One strip is passed across
each shoulder, and crossed on the breast as well as on the back. The
woollen strips used for coverin
