  • treeseed When I was ill with bronchitis as a little girl my mother would rig up a vaporizer tent by putting a card table up over the head of my bed. This she would drape with a sheet. She would direct the long nozzle of the vaporizer machine under the sheet and suffumigate me with Vicks VapoRub. I would dwell in this little moist cave until my breathing was restored. In those days (the early 1950s) hot water vaporizers were used. They were incredibly dangerous and many children were burned by them. However, I loved this process because I imagined myself in wonderful tropic climes of deserted isles. I loved the vaporizer. Jan 29, 2008
