Convulsions or spasms in children originate from various causes. Some children are constitutionally liable to them, and such will be almost sure to have them while getting their teeth. An infant not yet weaned may be thrown into convulsions by a change in the quality of the mother's milk, produced by sudden anger, fright, or suffering. Whatever the cause, the first thing to be done, without waiting for the arrival of the physician, is to put the child into a warm bath, five or ten minutes, until the paroxysm is broken. Then wrap him in warm dry flannels. If the spasms continue, bathe the feet and legs in water as warm as can be borne, and at the same time pour a stream of cold water on the head from the height of half a yard.
