Time of Reading 5:00 to 5:10 P. M. Eastern Standard Time. ..., Alabama. (Physical Suggestions)
1. EC: Yes. Not so good just now. We have had this before.
2. Still we find those tendencies for fever, and the breaking of cellular tissue in the lungs.
3. We would use Calcidin in the present condition; a grain tablet taken two or three times a day.
4. We would continue with the deep inhalations of the fumes from brandy. If this cannot be obtained, you can get plenty bootleg whiskey! THIS we would use rather in hot water; that is, pour a tablespoonful in a quart of boiling water and inhale the fumes from same. This will be much better than taking it by drinking it!
5. And for an expectorant (for there is the tendency for this), we would prepare a compound as follows:
6. To 16 ounces of distilled water we would add 2 ounces of Horehound, preferably in the dried (Yes, you can get it at Greene's!) [Greene Drug Co., B'ham, Ala.]. Steep by slow boiling until when drained off there is about 8 ounces left, you see, from the Horehound solution.
7. Then, to the 8 ounces we would add, while still hot but not boiling: Strained Honey...........................2 ounces, and shaken well together, Syrup of Ipecac..........................1 dram, Syrup of Squill........................1/2 ounce, Syrup of Rhubarb.........................2 drams. Shake this together and take about a teaspoonful. It would be necessary to add alcohol as a preservative, of course, which would be about three ounces of same. Take a teaspoonful about three or four times a day, or when the coughing is severe.
8. That this will make for an activity of the kidneys may be

expected, but it will cleanse and not irritate same.
9. The greater destructive force from tuberculosis IS the kidneys and the liver.
10. We are through for the present. Copy to Mrs. [593] - Special Delivery " " Ass'n file (Letter to Druggist was enclosed.)
