Method as extracted

1. Mix according to the source passage: Fumigations with sulphur, and warm baths, impreg'nated with the same, have been much em- ployed by the French physicians in the cure of the itch, particularly in hospitals, and they think that the disease is more expeditiously removed thereby than by using the sulphur ointment. Certainly the patient's linen is not soiled in these ways, nor does any sulphureous exhalation take place from the body. The bath is made by adding four or five ounces of the sulphuret of potash, to about twenty gallons of water, heated to about 98 of Fahrenheit's thermometer, and it is used once every day for five or ten days successively, according to lhe severity of the disease, the patient remaining in the bath nearly an hour each time.
