EC: The body is very close to the dividing line, the temperature and congestion both to the brain and to the action through the hepatics are about to sever the cord. [Silver cord] [Eccl. 12:6]
-
We would, to give ease and to give the chances for the body to relieve the pain, rather than by that which has been applied, prepare a poultice for the lower end of the stomach and across the liver and duodenum, that of onions boiled, see, and also apply that along the thyroids, bathing the spine every once in a while with pure grain alcohol, and let the air as breathed carry benzosol in vapor form, see.
-
Do that immediately. We are through.
