1. EC: Yes, we have the body here; this we have had before, [759].
2. As we find, there is a great deal of inflammation through the system as produced by the shock to the body. And there are the pressures that will a little later need a correction, that the tendencies for the clotting may be removed. Yet we find that there only needs to be those precautionary measures; keeping the activities such that there is given the opportunity for nature through its recuperative forces to replenish those influences necessary for structural and muscular activity; and keep in those activities as may be indicated by those physicians in charge.
3. Ready for questions.
4. (Q) Is his head or brain affected? (A) Only externally. No disturbance as yet for any, or any indications of any, clotting, fracture or the like. Only a VERY severe shock. Shoulders and the clavicle, the sternum, all make for this soreness through the upper portion of the stomach and across that portion of same. As the body is able, within ten days or two weeks, have a general going over osteopathically; and this will make for those adjustments in the upper dorsal and through portion of the cervical area to remove these pressures.
5. (Q) Any special diet? (A) Only that which is, under the existent conditions of the non-activity, easily assimilated and will allow for the keeping of eliminations a little above par. Necessary for cathartics, but vegetable forces will be the preferable to great quantities of any other character.
