CROUP, INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS.—Same directions as for Consumption, only more often.
TYPHOID FEVER.—Give two to five drops on sugar or in a little milk every three hours. Hot packs once or twice a day, like those recommended for Scarlet Fever, will greatly assist, and produce sleep. Sprinkle about the room as a disinfectant.
SCARLET FEVER.—Give five drops on sugar every three hours for the general symptoms and throat. If the skin is dry and hot, or the rash does not come out, put a teaspoonful in a quart of hot water, soak this up in a sheet, and pack the patient closely in it, with double blankets closely pinned outside to keep in the vapour; after keeping the patient in an hour, sponge over with Eucalyptus water made as described. When getting better, rub over the whole body an embrocation consisting of one part of the Oil and two parts olive oil. Sprinkle in the bedroom to prevent infection.
AGUE AND REMITTENT FEVER.—Give three to five drops four or five times a day, and sprinkle about the bedroom.
As a DISINFECTANT, DEODORANT, and ANTISEPTIC.—The sweet and refreshing aroma, although peculiar at first to some, supplies to a sick room an exhilarating and purifying effect. A few drops sprinkled on a cloth, and suspended in a room, is a sweet and thorough deodorant and disinfectant.
