1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with special reference to the high fever, bite on ankle, the inflammation and swelling of foot and ankle; giving suggestions for corrective measures, answering the questions that may be asked:
2. EC: Yes. As we find, this acute condition arises from a bite, but not of any very SEVERE type - though this might become so.
3. There should have been first (and this will now materially aid) this application over the bite and swelling. Moisten salt or make it wet with Turpentine and put on as a poultice, not binding. Change this about every hour or so until most of the swelling is gone.
4. Then keep the body quiet.
5. Start eliminations with a good emit, as Castoria, Syrup of Figs - the Milk of Bismuth may be added with same to purify the system. But Milk of Magnesia would be very well to keep down the temperatures.
6. Bathing the body, of course, with the weaker solution of the salt and turpentine will be helpful - along the spine - but this very weak. Apply the poultice over the bite and the ankle and foot.
7. Do not give heavy foods, only those that are almost pre-digested, when foods are given.
8. And give plenty of water.
9. These as we find are the better under the present conditions.
10. (Q) Is the temperature from the bite? (A) It is from the whole combination of fright as well as a bite.
11. (Q) Was this bite from a spider? (A) From a bug, not a spider. Do this as we find, but do it right away.
