1. EC: ("Yes, the same place. [Same place as [785]] Isn't up yet!") Yes. As we find with this body, [786], the affectations are from the activity of not the stomach but intestinal infections - from a form of worms, that make for the irritations, for the lack of appetite and at other times an over appetite; at times the belching up of foods and the spitting up, restlessness at night, the inability for the body to be as active - and tendency for the cold and congestion through the system. These are the conditions as we find that affect the body; these make for the quick pulsations at times, a little rise of temperature that comes at times, irritation in the throat, the irritation in the mucous membranes of the nostrils and face, the overactivity at times of the kidneys, the effect produced upon the eliminations, and especially a peculiar color and odor that is indicated from the stool.
2. In meeting these conditions for this body, as we find, we would first give that for a whole day the body should be fed only - with some malted milk, or the like - green lettuce and green cabbage. Then in the evening of that same day we would give, under the direction of a physician only, a small dose of calomel and santonin; about four grains of the calomel with about one and one-half grains of the santonin.
3. These we would follow in the next day with very small broken doses of Fletcher's Castoria, to make for the settling of the stomach and for the toning of the digestive system. Give about a quarter to half a teaspoonful every half hour until there has been indicated the activity from the system of the Castoria - by the change in the color of the stool, and the change in the temperature and the quietness to the body, see?
4. Then we would begin with a body-BUILDING diet for the body.
786-1 Page 2
We would give every day (this is outside of the other meals, you see) at least two tablespoonsful of beef juice and liver juice; these NOT mixed, but given at different times. Give the juice WARM, of course, but not a large quantity at a time; half to a teaspoonful, or half a teaspoonful given at a dose - first one and then the other, you see - and this may be done two, three or four times in the morning and in the afternoon. Graham or whole wheat crackers may be eaten with same.
5. As to the regular meals:
6. Mornings - a cooked cereal that is rich with vitamins A, B and D, which is preferably found in the Maltex - a combination of wheat or barley combined together. Also we would have preferably not cows' milk but that prepared with the DRIED milk, which will make for the better assimilation of the active forces; and may be prepared with the regular combination of malted milk, you see - but may be altered at times from the plain to the chocolate flavored, as they are prepared in both ways and manners. We find also that Coco-Malt would be a good drink at times for the body; well prepared - and when it is prepared, let it be prepared with skimmed milk; not too rich a milk for the body in the beginning of the increasing of the weight and the diet for the activities in this body of [786].
7. Noons - a part of this meal should consist of the vegetable juices, as Gerber's - or they may be combined from fresh vegetable juices, but not where they have been cooked with greases. Better that these be the juices taken from vegetables prepared in a steam cooker or Patapar paper, then only seasoned for the strengthening forces that may make it palatable to the body. And a little fowl or wild game may be given at times to the body.
8. Evenings - principally either milk that is combined with buttermilk or that which is made into same with the use of the tablets for making same, you see; or the hot milk, or the warm combinations of milk, whole wheat toast, and the like.
9. Do these for thirty to sixty days. Then we would give further instructions.
10. Ready for questions.
11. (Q) How may you get a child of this age to eat green lettuce and green cabbage? (A) It'll have to be cut up and seasoned, and taken. It won't take a large quantity, but it is the effect of these that we need for the activity of the calomel and santonin to have its effect upon the infesting forces of the body.
12. (Q) Should this quantity of calomel and santonin be
786-1 Page 3
given as one dose? (A) As one dose, or it may be given in broken doses if it is so desired - which would require that it be given, of course, half to an hour apart, if broken into one grains, you see.
