The sufferer should have his feet soaked in hot water, be put to bed, and some anti-febrine like aconite administered until a slight perspiration is induced.

Aconite is such deadly poison that the mother must be sure she knows just in what quantity to give it.

The dose for a child from three to six years of age is half a drop in a teaspoonful of water, every hour until the feverishness disappears.

Unless serious illness is beginning, the chances are that, under this treatment, the little one will be almost well by the next day.
Mothers would do well to make a study of children's ailments and their proper treatment.

Above all, the matter of diet should be comprehended.
