In the Gibbons Hosp., Time of Reading East Fayette St., 11:10 to 11:20 A. M. Eastern War Time. Celina, Ohio.
1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes - these are very serious disturbances; a form of step, that - unless this is allayed - will attack the brain or nerve cord structure itself [prelude to meningitis?].
3. In the immediate (and unless something of this nature is done these will develop more serious conditions), we would apply over the abdomen the poultice of crushed grapes. Use the Concord grapes if possible; if not, then the other - any that may be obtained (preferably the dark grapes). Crush and use about an inch think between gauze, applying directly to the body and allowing to remain until the poultice is warm from the body heat - or from the high temperature (for the temperature is at present 103 and more). Then change, making another fresh poultice. Apply these continuously.
4. Do give an enema to relieve those strictures and distresses through the alimentary canal. Have the water body-temperature. Do not attempt to overdrain the system, but with the water body-temperature and using a salt and soda solution this will not be too draining. This will reduce the temperature and aid in relieving this distress.
5. Bathe the spine, from the base of head to the end of spine, with a twenty percent grain alcohol solution; not rub alcohol, but pure grain alcohol.
6. Most of the food taken should be the fresh grape juice (juice extracted from the same character of grapes as used for the poultice), and blanc mange or such. And beef juice a little bit later, if the body responds.
7. If there is improvement - then we may give further instructions on Friday and Saturday.
8. Ready for questions.
9. We are through for the present.
