1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions that may be submitted, as I ask them.
2. EC: As we find, there is an acute disturbance through the bronchi and throat, which indicates the need of such applications as these:
3. We would have the fumes from the croup cup, or half a teaspoonful of Eucalyptol and half a teaspoonful of Compound of Tincture of Benzoin in a pint of boiling water, or kept boiling in the room, see? so that the fumes may be inhaled.
4. Apply an onion poultice over the throat and bronchi in the frontal portions. Cook the onions, but retain all the juice in same; chop fine and mix a little corn meal with same - not more than half or three-quarters of a teaspoonful. This would be applied on a very thin cloth or between gauze, you see, and applied to the throat and the front. Apply about half an inch thick.
5. Also on the back, across the shoulders and over the area to just below the ribs, apply an antiphlogistine poultice; not too thick, but sufficient to act as a stabilizer and an alkalizer to the body.
6. This we would do immediately.
7. Keep these up until there is a relief in the way of breathing. It will be necessary to change the poultices, if it is necessary to keep them over an hour. And when taken off, there should be a heavy flannel of the equal combination of Mutton Tallow, Turpentine and Camphor applied BOTH front and back.
8. Keep only to a diet that will make for easy assimilation and elimination.
9. And start eliminations by the use of alternated doses of Castoria AND Syrup of Figs; small doses, frequently, until there is a full and complete evacuation and elimination through the alimentary canal; half or quarter teaspoonful every fifteen or thirty minutes.
