Chills
Chills usually show that a person is going to be ill. See a doctor.
Never cool off suddenly. Do not sit down in a cool, breezy place when in a perspiration. It is very dangerous and has caused many a person to “catch his death of cold.”
If a person becomes chilled from exposure:
1. Use hot-water bags (or stones or bricks, heated in the oven) or hot stove lids or flatirons, covered with paper or cloth to prevent burning the patient. Place them under the arms and at the feet.
2. Rub the patient’s limbs toward the body.
3. Give hot coffee or tea or hot lemonade.
4. Keep well wrapped.
5. Give a hot foot bath in which is a teaspoonful powdered mustard.
6. Wrap in blanket and put to bed.
