Sore throat, scarlet fever and inflammatory fevers

For sore throat and scarlet fever the treatment recommended was the same: vinegar water mixed with honey.
For fevers the treatments varied: bloodletting, foot baths, enemas with a honey decoction of mallow, barley tea or tea made with pumpkin seed, pansy syrup, etc. J.F. Oberlin also recommended putting a vase of cool water under the bed and going out to get some fresh air.
