Make France Great Again

Chapter 7 Conversation with Louis Napoleon

Due to the constraints of scientific and technological factors in the 19th century, Dr. Jerome and James could not produce medical saline as later generations. They could only choose the oldest method of distilling 500 ml of water sterilized by high temperature, adding it to the water that had evaporated, The well salt crystals that have been concentrated three or four times are mixed according to the ratio of 1:0.009, and a semi-finished physiological saline is prepared.

Physiological saline was injected intravenously into Louis Bonaparte's body by Dr. James, and Louis Bonaparte's severely dehydrated body barely recovered a trace of blood.

"Your Excellency, drink this!" Dr. James brought a bowl of viscous and slightly forgiving liquid to Louis Bonaparte's mouth.

The liquid is made of willow bark mixed with some things that even Jerome doesn't know. It is said that it has the effect of analgesia and mediation of the stomach. The salicylic acid contained in the juice made of willow bark can relieve Louis . Bonaparte's Fever.

Louis Bonaparte barely opened his mouth, and the steaming green juice poured into Louis Bonaparte's mouth.

Perhaps because the taste of the juice itself was too anti-human, Louis Bonaparte obviously vomited it up the moment he drank it. Seeing this, Dr. James hurriedly took out the towel placed in the copper warm water basin under the post bed and twisted it out. After drying, put it lightly on Louis Bonaparte's mouth to prevent Louis Bonaparte from spitting all over the floor.

By consulting the data on cholera in Britain more than ten years ago, Dr. James can roughly confirm that the transmission route of cholera is roughly food and water. As long as the transmission route and source of cholera virus are strictly controlled, cholera can be prevented. Their constant advocacy of ventilation will not work at all!

Louis Bonaparte's Adam's apple squirmed slowly, and he swallowed Doctor James' medicine with difficulty.

Dr. James slowly took the towel away from Louis Bonaparte's mouth and folded it. After the rectangular towel was folded into the shape of tofu by Dr. James, Dr. James handed the towel to Jerome and said: "This towel It can no longer be used if it is contaminated with the patient's body fluid, burn it!"

Jerome, who took the towel, nodded. No one understood the harm of cholera virus better than him.

The reason why the cholera virus occurs in the slums, but rarely occurs in the rich areas is not only because the poor cannot afford doctors, but also because they do not have a correct understanding of cholera. They often have intimate contact with cholera patients after they have cholera. exposure, which can lead to a scene where one person catches cholera and the whole family dies.

Random burning behavior like Jerome is absolutely unacceptable to the ordinary working class. Those workers who have to wear a pair of trousers with two people do not have so much money on weekdays, let alone the economic crisis in 1848. .

Jerome put the towel that might be contaminated with the cholera virus in the fire basin next to the fireplace in the living room on the first floor. The sparks ignited the matchstick, and the flame of the inner blue and outer fire was pinched by Jerome and thrown into the brazier, and the towel in the basin was ignited.

Along with the generation of thick black smoke, a pungent smell of burnt wool poured into Jerome's nostrils.

Seeing this, Persie and Fleury, who were still on the first floor, hurriedly opened the doors and windows to ventilate. Jerome returned to the second floor after finishing all this, and Persie followed closely behind.

At this time, Dr. James had already packed up all his things and was preparing to leave with a small wooden box on his shoulders.

At the time of parting, Dr. James did not forget to ask Louis Bonaparte to relax, and at the same time told Jerome and Howard to be careful.

"Pissie, help me see the doctor!" Louis Bonaparte, who looked a little better than before, said to Persie.

"Your order!" Percy bowed to Louis Bonaparte.

After Dr. James and Persie left,

Only Louis Bonaparte, Jerome Bonaparte, and Howard were left in the room.

The scene fell into dead silence for a while, and after a brief silence, Louis Bonaparte, who recovered a little bit, said to Howard in a hoarse voice: "Dear Howard, can you fulfill one of my requests!"

"Louis, tell me!" Howard said affectionately while holding Louis Bonaparte's hand.

"Can you bother me to buy a newspaper for me? I haven't reported it for a long time!" Louis Bonaparte begged Howard.

"Louis, I promise you!" Howard immediately agreed to Louis Bonaparte's request.

Louis Bonaparte smiled, and he named several newspapers in one breath, such as "The Times", "Polaris", "Rhinelander Zeitung" [Note 1]...

After taking down the newspaper that Louis Bonaparte said, Howard once again urged Louis Bonaparte in a doctor's tone to recover from his illness and left to help Louis Bonaparte buy the newspaper.

Only two cousins, Louis Bonaparte and Jerome Bonaparte, remained in the room.

Just when Jerome didn't know how to speak, the voice of Louis Bonaparte reached his ears: "Howard is really a smart girl!"

"Huh?" Jerome Bonaparte didn't understand what Louis Bonaparte meant.

"My dear cousin, you don't really think I sent her out to buy newspapers!" Louis Bonaparte said to Jerome with a smile in his hoarse throat.

Only then did Jerome come to his senses and said, "Cousin, are you trying to dismiss her?"

"That's right!" Louis Bonaparte nodded, and then sighed: "I said Howard is a smart lady! I don't want to be involved in our business! She is always an outsider to the family. !Especially after I'm dead, I'm really afraid of her..."

"Cousin, don't worry! The family can't trouble her!" Jerome comforted Louis Bonaparte.

"I hope I'm thinking too much!" Louis Bonaparte showed a mocking look: "My uncles, one by one, really don't let me worry!"

Then, he paused and added: "Of course, except Uncle Jerome, I am very grateful and miss Uncle Jerome!"

I think you miss my sister!

Jerome silently added something in his heart, and said with a respectful face: "My father also misses you very much...and of course, my sister!"

"Matilde, my God!"

"Rhineland Zeitung", a newspaper founded by Marx in the Rhineland period, was banned by Prussia within a short period of time. The content of the newspaper was once published in Britain in the form of reprint by The North Star.
