On another occasion, on going to open a room which had been locked up for some time, in order to prepare it for the reception of my eldest uncle, who had just returned that night from abroad, two members of the family started back and locked the door again, for on entering they had both seen the mattrass &c. violently heaved up.

The mattrass used by typhoid-fever patients, their bed-linen and clothes, have each been the medium by which the disease has been communicated to others.

The patient is placed upon a mattrass protected by oil-cloth, and is covered by a sheet wrung out of water at a temperature of 70°.

To prevent this Consequence, which is always dangerous, they should, 1, immediately go to Bed; and if they have not a Mattrass, they should lie upon a Bed stuffed with Straw, a Feather-bed being very improper in such Cases.

If there is a mattrass above the bed, turn the mattrass half up, and then half down, till you have shaken up the bed beneath.
