1. EC: Yes.
2. As we find, conditions - as has been indicated heretofore - are rather acute. And there is somewhat of a complication. For these have tended to create some inflammation, and this must be allayed. Unless it is, operative measures - which would be VERY serious under existent conditions - would be necessary to resort to.
3. These are a lack of drainages from the gall duct and thus involve the whole of the caecum area, or the drainages from the small to the larger intestines. There is not inflammation in the appendicial area, though the whole of the right side is involved.
4. As we would find:
5. Use Laudanum and Aconite - three parts Laudanum to one part Aconite - to paint the body over the liver and gall duct area and down the right side.
6. Then apply hot Castor Oil Packs continuously until there is some ease.
7. Every other time the Pack is changed, paint the body - unless this tends to make for too much of a blister.
8. Be well to put oil paper or cloth over the Packs, for we should have great quantities of the Oil. Do not make them TOO hot, but so as to at least drive them into the body. It is well to put these on and then apply external heat; as the electric pad or salt bags or the like. DRY heat, though, rather than wet heat.
9. We would stimulate osteopathically the areas from which the liver, spleen and pancreas receive the greater impulse; the upper dorsal area - or from 2nd and 3rd dorsal to the 5th and 6th.
10. And it will be found that in giving the manipulations the holding of pressure (with the finger) upon the left side of the 4th dorsal center AND the right side of the 3rd cervical plexus or center will bring some ease; and tend to

make for an expanding of the gall duct itself, and tend to empty same.
11. These given very GENTLY but every day.
12. Change the Oil Packs about every hour, or every two hours at least, until ease is obtained.
13. If there is not ease obtained, then best that a surgeon's service be considered.
14. Ready for questions.
15. (Q) All conditions taken into consideration, what surgeon in ... would be suggested for this case - if it becomes necessary? (A) Gaither. [Gant Gaither, M.D.]
16. We are through for the present. Copy to Husband " " Ass'n file 12/26/36 Wire: Mr. [2704] ... Ky. PAINT LIVER, GALL DUCT, RIGHT SIDE, WITH COMBINATION THREE PARTS LAUDANUM ONE PART ACONITE. THEN APPLY HOT CASTOR OIL PACKS CONTINUOUSLY, CHANGING EVERY HOUR OR TWO HOURS UNTIL EASED. EVERY OTHER CHANGE PAINT AGAIN UNLESS BLISTERING. USE OIL CLOTH OVER PACKS SO GREAT QUANTITIES OIL MAY BE ABSORBED. NOT TOO HOT BUT SO AS TO DRIVE IN. USE ELECTRIC PAD, SALT BAGS OR DRY HEAT OVER SAME. OSTEOPATHIC STIMULATION UPPER DORSAL AND HOLDING PRESSURE WITH FINGER UPON LEFT SIDE FOURTH DORSAL AND RIGHT SIDE THIRD CERVICAL SHOULD BRING EASE, EXPANDING AND EMPTYING GALL DUCT. UNLESS EASED CONSIDER SURGEON GAITHER. ASS'N FOR RESEARCH & ENLIGHTENMENT, INC. Day Letter - Collect
