Water (usually warm), vapour, and heated air, are often medicated by being charged with the active principles of various herbs and other drugs. The principal kinds in use are mentioned below. Tliere are various contrivances for applying them either to particular parts, or to the whole surface, except that of the head. Dr. Lynch has suggested one which combines a vapour and hot-air bath. In the absence of suitable apparatus. Dr. Seeee suggests a simple plan of applying hot vapour—a lump of quick lime, wrapped in a wet cloth, and covered with a dry one, is placed on each side of the patient in bed, and allowed to remain until perspiration is established. Probably the vapour might be medicated by placing the required ingi-edieuts between tlie two cloths.' iALNETJM AciDUH. U. C. H. Acid, nitro-hydrochlor. dil. 12 oz., water 30 gallons.
