Judgment was passed, and he lay with an ice-bag on his head and a thermometer in his mouth and hot rage in his heart.

Quin |Alice Hegan Rice
It is sometimes difficult to keep an ice-bag on an infant, in which case cold compresses should be applied.

The Eugenic Marriage, Volume IV. (of IV.) |Grant Hague
There should be only one thickness of the towel between the ice-bag and the head.

The Eugenic Marriage, Volume IV. (of IV.) |Grant Hague
It will be necessary to keep a record of the fever so that the ice-bag may be withdrawn when it falls below 103° F.

Angie will help me get the ice-bag and all the other things, in case you might not have them handy.
