1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for corrective measures; giving the cause of the existing conditions, answering the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body of [1861]; this we have had before.
3. As we find in the present, there is rather the acute condition - which results from acute indigestion, with pressures upon the hypogastrics, and producing through the congestion in the hepatic circulation a pressure and a contraction and a pain in the back of the neck and head; with temperatures.
4. These as we find have been reduced somewhat.
5. As we find, in the first - at present:
6. Give a colonic irrigation.
7. Then prepare a heavy poultice of cooked onions, chopped fine. Preferably cook in Patapar Paper. Then mix with same just sufficient corn meal to make it stick (raw corn meal), but not so heavy as to make it dry - yet not so juicy as to discolor or become burdensome in making the applications. Apply such a poultice (between gauze), as hot as the body can stand same, to the back of the head and neck, and the same over the pit of the stomach. Keep on until the poultice gets cold, or until the pain is relieved.
8. Give internally those properties which as we find will aid in reducing the tendencies for nausea, and alleviate the disturbances through the digestive forces, acting as a bromide to the gastric forces of the stomach. Prepare same in this way and manner: Lime Water.........................1 ounce, Cinnamon Water.....................1 ounce, 10% solution Bromide Potassium....10 minims, 10% solution Iodide Potassium.....10 minims.
9. Add the ingredients in the order named; the dosage being only a teaspoonful in half a glass of water at least two and

a half to three hours apart.
10. On the morrow, if necessary, give more of the high colonics to remove these distresses through the alimentary canal, and the poisons and accumulations there.
11. These, as we find, should bring relief for the body.
12. If it is necessary, after four or five hours, and the pains are not relieved in stomach and in the head, apply the Onion Poultice again, see?
13. Do these and we will find the better forces for this body of [1861].
14. The diets should be liquids and semi-liquids, of course, until the strength and vitality is regained.
15. Ready for questions.
16. We are through for the present.
