1. EC: Yes, we have the body here - this we have had before.
2. Now, we find there is more local inflammation from those conditions as existed in the body as have been outlined for same.
3. We would, then, still use those local applications to reduce this inflammation, by that of hot packs - either that which will bring the condition to the localized or that will reduce the inflammation and bring about eliminations throughout the system - see?
4. The use of any properties that will minimize the pressure will bring the greater relief to the body.
5. Stimulate the heart's action; etherize the nerve reaction, and give the strength to the blood body to build in the system the resistance necessary to meet the conditions - see?
6. Local packs are the quicker relief for the body; preferably those that carry an ethesia [etherizer?] for swelling; such as would be found in any of the forms of etherizing conditions for swelling - see?
7. (Q) What would be the best specific local application? (A) There are many that may be used. The ointment, of course, will continue to bring localization to this portion - for the antrums show some conditions that bring distress at the present. More of the facial nerves are involved, on account of pressure produced by the condition. We have here -
8. (Q) Is this condition what is commonly called erysipelas? (A) No. This is more of that local condition of infections, from that of internal - rather than from that from without, as has been given. We have here - packs or sweats of tincture laudanum would be well for these, or any stimulant of that nature that etherizes the condition - see?
9. (Q) What proportion should be used?
900-388 Page 2
(A) As packs.
10. (Q) Would hot Epsom Salts relieve? (A) Be well - be good for the condition. Add some laudanum in it would be better.
11. (Q) Should the body return to New York to-day? (A) Depending upon the relief brought to the body. Of course, under the stress and strain - we have two conditions to be considered. There would be - unless there is reduction in this pressure being created - the danger of cold and deeper or re-infection; yet the mental attitude, the mental conditions and those things surrounding same bring worry and trouble under the present condition - but we would reduce the pressure before moving, or there would be danger of infection. Take hot packs and then be out in the cold wouldn't be well!
12. (Q) Any other suggestions other than the hot packs, to be done? (A) Take these in connection with that as has been outlined for the general building up of the body. Stimulation of the heart's action; that is, given properties that stimulate same, as that in strychnine - with digitalli; iron for the blood supply. Create more white blood in system. Meet the needs as they arise. The packs would be the easier; yet we would give opiates to relieve or make the body rest while these act, see? Body feels strong enough, well enough, and the reduction is sufficient - then return to New York, but be careful of cold and congestion and re-infection while this condition is still on the increase, see?
13. That is all the questions.
14. We are through for the present.
