Hang on hang on, obviously fever cloth is a thing (???), but what’s with the hair removal? @RenSkinKCL @historecipes

[Lauren Kassell @laurenkassell]

@hagenilda @AmieBolissian Maybe 'apply fever cloths & if it help not then let blood'? Are 'fever cloths' are a thing? Searching 'cloth' produces 'To make a kinde of cloth or plaister to take the heare frō the face neck and handes or frō any parte of the body.' https://t.co/G5kRFI9q9w I miss @hpscasebooks!

In her @jhokjournal paper, @laurenkassell describes how @hpscasebooks transformed consultations recorded by astrologer-physicians Simon Forman & Richard Napier into the Casebooks Digital Edition.
