To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Before using either the night-commode, or the _pot-de-chambre_, let alittle water, to the depth of one or two inches, be put in the pan, or_pot_; in order to sweeten the motion, and to prevent the faecalmatter from adhering to the vessel. Let there be frequent change of linen, as in sickness it is even morenecessary than in health, more especially if the complaint befever. In an attack of fever, clean sheets ought, every other day, tobe put on the bed; clean body-linen every day. A frequent cha...nge oflinen in sickness is most refreshing. If the complaint be fever, a fire in the grate will not benecessary. Should it be a case either of inflammation of the lungs orof the chest, a small fire in the winter time is desirable, keepingthe temperature of the room as nearly as possible at 60 degreesFahrenheit. Bear in mind that a large fire in a sick-room cannot betoo strongly condemned; for if there be fever--and there are scarcelyany complaints without--a large fire only increases it. Small fires, in cases either of inflammation of the lungs or of the chest, in thewinter time, encourage ventilation of the apartment, and thus carryoff impure air.
