EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the year 1898, showcases a devoted mother administering soothing relief to her infant using an antique fumigator or medical adviser. The simple and inexpensive contraption, a staple in many households during the late 19th century, was particularly valued for its effectiveness in treating various respiratory conditions, such as Whooping Cough, Croup, and Diptheria. The fumigator, a vapour-releasing apparatus, was a popular remedy for its ability to disinfect the air and provide comfort to suffering infants. The device, which appears to be placed on a bedside crib, was filled with Cresolene, a disinfectant and antiseptic, which, when heated, released a fragrant vapour that enveloped the room. The use of fumigators was a common practice during this era, as the understanding of germ theory was still in its infancy, and people relied heavily on such simple yet effective methods to combat illnesses. The fumigator, with its unassuming yet profound impact on public health, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the past. The image captures a poignant moment in history, as the mother, with a gentle and loving expression, attends to her child's needs, providing solace and relief during a time when respiratory illnesses were a significant cause of concern. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between a mother and her child, and the lengths she would go to ensure their well-being.
