Wet-sheet
packs,
both
of
the
entire
body
and
of
parts
of
the
body,
are
among
the
most
effective
of
rapid
blood-purifying
measures.
Frequently
where
one
is
confined
to
bed
a
hot-blanket
pack
will
answer
the
same
purpose
as
the
hot
bath
just
described.
Where
there
is
high
fever
a
cold
wet-sheet
pack
may
be
employed.
This
will
relieve
the
high
temperature
to
a
marked
extent,
and
will
also
eliminate
the
poisons
of
the
body
in
a
most
remarkable
way.
The
sheet
pack
is
applied
by
first
wringing
one
or
two
sheets
out
of
cold
water
and
then
wrapping
them
completely
around
the
naked
patient,
with
the
exception
of
the
head.
If
a
single
sheet
is
used
the
flap
on
one
side
may
be
wrapped
around
the
body
under
the
arms
and
the
flap
from
the
other
side
passed
over
the
outside
of
the
arms.
The
patient
should
then
be
wrapped
up
thoroughly
with
warm
blankets,
fastened
with
safety
pins.
He
will
quickly
react
with
warmth,
although
if
the
vitality
is
low
it
may
be
well
to
place
hot
irons
at
the
feet
to
insure
quick
recuperation
with
warmth.
One
may
remain
in
such
a
pack
for
two
or
three
hours,
or
if
it
is
applied
in
the
evening
one
may
remain
in
it
all
night,
provided
sleep
follows
and
no
discomfort
is
noticed.
Where
the
recuperative
powers
are
weak
a
wet-sheet
pack
which
covers
the
entire
body,
may
tax
the
vitality
too
much
and
under
such
circumstances
a
chest
and
abdominal
pack
may
be
used.
This
is
really
a
partial
sheet
pack
covering
the
trunk
of
the
body
from
the
hips
and
abdomen
to
the
line
running
round
the
chest
just
under
the
arms.
A
hot
pack
of
this
kind
is
in
itself
very
effective,
although
where
there
is
fever
the
pack
should
be
applied
cold.
In
all
such
packs
it
is
well
to
lay
several
blankets
on
your
couch
first,
then
quickly
place
the
wet
sheet
upon
it
so
that
after
the
sheet
has
been
wrapped
around
the
body
the
sides
of
the
blanket
can
be
pulled
over
so
as
completely
to
envelop
the
patient.
