1. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [349] - this we have had before. The conditions physical, as we find in the present, are very much changed from that we have had here before. Those conditions brought on through the shock to the whole nervous system are in that state where, unless there is kept the greater elimination and absorption, with the abilities of the eliminating system to throw off the excess drosses or accumulations that arise from the inflammation, these must be harmful to the body. If these are kept so that there is a superficial elimination to prevent the coagulation too quickly (which would cause adhesions to form where the muscular forces and even some structural forces have been strained), the proper results may be obtained. We do not find fractures in any of the structural portions, but bruises to the muscles and tendons - as well as to the whole nerve system - are apparent.
2. While conditions in the present are somewhat easier than they have been, there is the recurrence of the tendency for excitement to the whole sympathetic nerve system.
3. First, for the next two or three days, about twice each day, give the body as hot a bath as can be stood, wrapping the body thoroughly in hot blankets when it is taken from the bath, massaging along the whole cerebrospinal system - especially at the base of brain, across the lumbar and in the brachial center - with cocoa butter.
4. We would give internally a compound prepared in this manner: To 2 ounces of simple syrup, add: Tincture of Valerian.....................1 ounce, Elixir of Calisaya.......................1 ounce, 10% solution Bromide of Potassium.......60 minims, 10% solution Iodide of Potassium.........5 minims, Tincture of Capsici......................1 minim.

5. Shake the solution together before the dose is given, which would be a teaspoonful in half a glass of water every three to four hours until quietness is brought about.
6. Every other day, for at least three to five days, there should be given a cathartic as of calomel, colocynth and rhubarb, [CRC tablets] that the eliminations may be kept at an extraordinary reaction in the whole hepatic circulation.
7. The diet should be rather those foods that are strengthening in the nerve and blood building. The liquid and fruit diet will be the more easily assimilated and react better for system while the recuperations are in order.
8. Do that. Ready for questions.
9. (Q) What should be the dosage of calomel, colocynth and rhubarb? (A) These are already prepared in tablet form; they come in five grain tablets. [CRC tablets]
10. (Q) One tablet at a dose? (A) One tablet at a dose, every other day until three or four doses have been taken.
11. (Q) What causes the cough? (A) Sympathetic from pressure in the cerebrospinal system, especially in the brachial area; hence, with the relaxation that will be created by the extraordinary amount of heat to the body with the application of the cocoa butter - for relaxation, and for healing of portions of the plexus that are irritated, the cough will be reduced.
12. (Q) Are there serious injuries to the brain or head? (A) These may become serious, but not if there are kept those conditions that will prevent the settling of inflammation in any of the bruised areas.
13. (Q) Is she being given the proper treatments from the doctors at the present time? (A) Compare with this as given!
14. (Q) How long will it take her to regain her normal health? (A) In five to ten days she should be able to be up and about. In another five to ten days near normal.
15. (Q) Any other advice as to her complete physical and mental condition? (A) Let's do this, and one thing at a time!
16. That is all the questions.
