It also mentions stain removal for fabrics, milk porridge, gravies, and ironing tips with wax rag and salt.
Health guidance discusses sleep troubles caused by stress and breathing issues during sleep. It suggests posture changes, avoiding back sleeping, and mental discipline to prevent dreams and heart‑related discomfort. The piece cites a “sare remedy” for chills and notes contracts made on Sunday may not be enforced.
The text outlines cautions against belladonna as an antidote and prescribes a strict three week quarantine for the sick, isolation of visitors, thorough boiling of clothing and bedding, visible disinfection methods, and private funerals. It also covers disinfection of furniture, burning unrecoverable items, and authority duties to educate the public on scarlet fever controls.
