Pouring.
By James Champlin Fernald
-
The action of pouring a liquid on any body. Affu sions, Rhyptolu'sice, cold and warm, are used in different diseases. The cold affusion, Affu'sio sea Perfu'sio frig"ida, is said to have been beneficial in cutting short typhus fever and scarlatina, if used during the first days. It consists in placing the patient in a tub, and pouring cold water over him; then wiping him dry, and putting him to bed. The only precaution necessary is, to use it in the state of greatest heat and exacerbation; not when chilliness, or topical inflammation, is present.
