1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - we have the body here.
3. While these appear very serious in the present, because of the blister or the water, we do not find the injury to the eyes, but rather to the lids.
4. As we find, we would cleanse and use the tannic acid; followed with the Unguentine and the Sweet Oil (Camphorated) to prevent or remove scars, as the tissue heals.
5. Be very mindful that eliminations are kept above the normal. Use BOTH the Podophyllum and the Calomel as a base for eliminants, at various times; not together; but under the direction of the physician. While these would not be used under most circumstances for a child, these would be the better in this case - because of the poisons from so much area covered with the burn, and the shock to the system, as well as the kind of poisons to be eliminated, and the need for the excess lymph.
6. Ready for questions.
7. (Q) Apply tannic acid? (A) Tannic acid; the light, to be sure; this is understood by the physician. Cleanse it first, then apply the tannic acid.
8. (Q) How should it be cleansed? (A) Would you ask how to tell a doctor to cleanse a thing!
9. (Q) Are they using the tannic acid in the way suggested here? (A) Not using it as yet, but these are a part of the bandages.
10. (Q) Then after the tannic acid apply the Unguentine? (A) AS it heals; not, of course, while the tannic acid is being used, but as it heals. See, this cuts away air, produces dead skin, and leaves a scar. Then the Oils from the Unguentine, and the Sweet Oil and Camphorated Oil are to take away scar tissue, see? These are to follow within ten days to two weeks, see? [GD's note: 11/30/42 See 2015-10,

Par. 7-A, giving follow-up treatment to eliminate scar.]
11. (Q) The eyes themselves are not injured? (A) As indicated, the lids; though there will be, of course, some inflammation. But keep down the excesses of poisons by increasing the eliminations, to remove these poisons that are as natural accumulations from such an area burned.
12. (Q) Any suggestions for relieving the pain? (A) As just given, this will relieve the pain when it cuts off the air!
13. We are through for the present. Copy to Parents, Air Mail " " Ass'n file.
