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, [2299].
3. As we find, there is an acute condition that may become serious unless there are changes soon in the inflammation being produced by congestion in the bronchi and larynx.
4. We would prepare an onion poultice to apply across the area of the chest and bronchi. Cut the onions very fine and heat just a little, adding just enough meal to hold same together. Apply warm, but not too hot.
5. Across the back of the neck apply a hot flannel with an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor.
6. Change these about every hour or so until the cold is broken, or until the body is quiet.
7. Keep plenty of Syrup of Ipecac, handy in case the body should become choked or clogged, so that a dose may then be given to cause vomiting - about half a teaspoonful.
8. Keep fumes boiling in the room from using at least a teaspoonful of Compound Tincture of Benzoin and half a teaspoonful of Oil of Eucalyptus in the amount of water required in a croup cup or the like.
9. Keep the eliminations active with Castoria.
10. Then as the bowels act, follow same with the use of Glyco-Thymoline to keep down the inflammation through the alimentary canal; two to three drops, as we have indicated, and give until it is indicated in the odor from the stool. This should be given once or twice or three times a day, or when any feeding is given.
11. As to diet - change the feeding, of course, to not too much of that hard to digest. Juices and light cereals, you see.
12. Do that.
13. Ready for questions.
14. We are through with this Reading.
