Simple febrifuge remedies, such as effervescing draught or spirit of nitrous ether with solution of acetate of ammonium, were well received by the stomach, and appeared to promote perspiration and the more free secretion of urine.

Infusion of digitalis, with spirit of nitrous ether or with acetate of potassium, may also be used with advantage.

In many cases of erysipelas the febrile condition is readily managed by the administration of the simpler remedies found grateful to the palate of the sufferer, such as iced, acidulated, and effervescing draughts, with perhaps the employment of the spiritus Mindereri or the spirit of nitrous ether.

At other times chamomile, squills, and spirit of nitrous ether, may be tried.
