Ingredients
- one teaspoonful of water every day
- a piece of old soft muslin in the shape of a bih
Directions
Do not forget to give it at least one teaspoonful of water every day. When restless at night a few swallows of water may be just what is needed, and he will soon drop to sleep. If his skin is hot and dry, sponge him off with warm water containing a little soda, and it will have a soothing effect.
FOR COLD IN CHEST AND WHEEZING OF THE BRONCHIAL TUBES.
Cut a piece of old soft muslin in the shape of a bih and haste cotton on this and let the child wear it next the skin over the cbest, pinning it to the undergarment with nursery pins. Make a number of these , and when one is soiled replace with a clean one. When warmer weather comes and you wish to remove them, do so gradually by cut- ting a little off each day. Goose grease on chest is also good, but I never knew anything work so like a charm as the cotton batting did after a month of whooping-cough and severe colds. Mrs. E. 0. M.
