Lincoln's funeral: expenses

[Anita]

Hi Joe,

This is from "Lincoln's Last Hours" by Leale: After they got Lincoln settled in the bed at the Petersen house.

"Then I sent the Hospital Steward for a Nelaton probe. No drug
or medicine in any form was administered to the President, but the
artificial heat and mustard plaster that I had applied warmed his cold
body and stimulated his nerves."

Mustard plasters are still used today.
