It is a good idea. Sick

harmful when one
has a cold or a

a person has a
high fever, he
should be wrapped
up so that the air
will not harm him?
Is it true that tea made
from willow bark will
help bring fever down
and stop pain?
NO! All fruits and juices
are helpful when one
has a cold or fever. They
do not cause congestion
or harm of any kind.
NO! When a person has
a high fever, take off all
covers and clothing. Let
the air reach his body.
This will help the fever go
down (see p. 76).

bark has a natural
medicine in it very
much like aspirin.
