Treatment of fevers: personal case history of a man with a yearly fever.

        TREATMENT OF FEVERS: PERSONAL CASE HISTORY OF A MAN WITH A YEARLY FEVER.
At one time there was a young man of twenty-one living with us who developed a very high fever about eight o'clock one evening. We did not become aware of the fever until it was really raging at about 104° F. He told us that it was a regular, annual occurrence with him, and that every previous attack had cost him two weeks in bed. Accompanying the fever was a severe headache and a raging sore throat.
There was only one treatment that came to our minds, and that was the wet sheet treatment, so we proceeded as described above. The temperature was so high that within only a few minutes the first sheet was hot and had to be changed. But each following application lasted a little longer until, by midnight, his temperature was back to normal. The wet sheet treatment occupied four hours in this case, instead of the usual half an hour because we were treating a person who had not been living healthfully. It was necessary, therefore, to persist until the temperature was reduced.
When he was ready for bed, we put an onion poultice around his neck to ease the sore throat. The next morning, even though his fever was gone, he still had quite a sore throat. We had him get up and take a shower. After this he doused himself with a bucket of lukewarm water to which a cup of Epsom salts had been added. We then put a charcoal and linseed poultice around his neck and gave him a glass of pure pineapple juice squeezed from a fresh pineapple, and encouraged him to rest in bed all day. However, before the day was finished, he was up and about. In the late afternoon he even spent some time out in a light rain from which he suffered no ill effect! The usual two weeks was reduced to only an evening. The fact that his standing in the rain did not cause any trouble is clear evidence that the disease had not been suppressed but had been eradicated. Health had been restored.
