"The Cooling Breath"
As a child during the 1960's I was plagued with sudden, unexplained fevers. A frequent event that had the doctors mystified and my mother running for the alcohol bottle. Rubbing alcohol, that is. She was a firm believer that alcohol sponge baths would quickly reduce a fever. Of course, it didn't work, and as my temperature raged, I slipped into unconsciousness.
