1. EC: Yes.
2. Now as we find, while the conditions are rather serious, these may be materially aided if the reactions are allowed through the system; that is, through the alimentary canal - not to become so checked by COLD as to prevent a circulation, see?
3. As we find, we would stimulate the activity along the cerebrospinal system for the activity through the area in the caecum and beginning of transverse colon. Stimulate osteopathically, then, the areas - gently, to be sure - in the upper dorsal areas more specific; gently, of course, coordinating the lumbar area, with gentle massage of the abdominal area. The stimulation to the cerebrospinal system should be for the caecum area and for the gall duct area.
4. Also we would use the the Grape Poultice, not hot but cold - or cool - across the stomach and especially the right side of the abdomen. As soon as the Poultice is warm from the body heat, remove and apply another. Keep these up, one right after the other, for at least eight or nine hours.
5. Between the application of the Poultices, we would massage across the abdomen with Grain Alcohol; not Rub Alcohol but Grain Alcohol, just what the body absorbs; not a punching, just a gentle massage.
6. These as we find will give an activity that will allow the influences of the irritation in the stomach and the duodenum to be allayed sufficient for the absorption, by absorption, as well as gastric flow for stimulation to strength.
7. Thus we might find help for this body.
8. Give only internally a combination prepared in this manner, to settle the stomach: Cinnamon Water........................1 ounce, Lime Water............................1 ounce,
1419-1 Page 2
10% solution Iodide of Potassium.....10 minims, 10% solution Bromide of Potassium....30 minims. The dose may be given every hour; a teaspoonful in a tablespoonful of water; SIPPED, not gulped but sipped. This will settle the stomach.
9. (Q) What is causing the present illness? (A) An irritation in the stomach, duodenum, and the effect created in the lower portion of the jejunum.
10. We are through with this Reading. Copy to Mr. [826] - Air Mail - to Bethany, Missouri - Gen. Del. Special Delivery - % [...], Washington, D.C. Phoned also
