GC: You will answer the questions regarding this body, as I ask them:
-
EC: Yes, we have the body here. Ready for questions.
-
(Q) What is the cause and cure for his present condition? (A) As has been indicated, this arises from upsetting conditions in the digestive system; and the temperature, the lack of appetite and of the ability to digest the foods, all arise from these conditions.
There is the tendency at times to overfeed, then at other times there have not been the precautions taken as to WHAT is given in the feeding.
In the present, - we would give first a half teaspoonful of Milk of Bismuth with a little water in same. This will absorb much of the inflammation through the intestinal tract.
Then, three to four hours afterward, commence with the very small doses of Castoria. Give about a quarter teaspoonful every hour until there are GOOD eliminations.
There may be pains and crying from same, as this begins to act upon the system. But use an equal combination of Mutton Tallow, Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor upon a flannel, warm, over the abdomen during the period of taking the Castoria - and keep same warm.
Also massage the body well along the spine with this same combination, at least each evening when ready for retiring.
After the Castoria has acted well, THEN give with each feeding two drops of Glyco-Thymoline. Keep this up until the odor of same may be detected through the stool, then leave off a few days, then give again until the odor is detected, etc., and so on for several weeks.
Also after the general cleansing, and when better conditions exist, we would keep the system sweet with Milk of Magnesia. Small quantities of this will assimilate; about a quarter to half a teaspoonful at the time, but kept up occasionally over a period of several weeks. It is not to be given at each feeding, nor even each day, but occasionally to keep the eliminations near to normal.
If there is not the full eliminating of the temperature, after the rubbing and the general cleansing, then in a week or ten days it may be necessary to do the same all over again, but in the same manner; cutting down on the feeding, of course, during the period of the treatments.
These as we find will eliminate the causes; then be more precautious as to the food, as to the quantity of same; and we will find bettered conditions for the body.
-
(Q) What nourishment can be given? (A) The formula of milk that has been indicated. Then gradually there may be added the vegetables as prepared by Gerber, rather than those that have other preservatives or the like. All of Gerber’s foods should be given in small quantities from time to time, but DO NOT give them until the SYSTEM has been cleansed, and until the temperature and inflammation has been removed from the system; else we may find colitis as a result!
-
(Q) Please give the formula for feeding? (A) This is that as given by the ones preparing the milk!
-
(Q) When he is better and able to have vegetables, should fruits be included in the diet? (A) Vegetables! We didn’t give fruits! However, fruit juices, - as orange juice (though it will not agree at first), - may be given. The orange juice with a little lemon in it should be given when possible; but give small quantities of it at first, and not other fruits, - unless it is the baked apple, never raw.
There has been too much of other things injected into the feeding, as indicated!
-
(Q) Any meats at all? (A) No meats! Broths may be given, but not meats; and it would be some weeks yet before even the broths should be given!
-
(Q) Are his teeth causing any trouble? (A) The teeth are causing some trouble. Cleanse the system in the manner as we have indicated, and use the Milk of Magnesia occasionally to keep the system sweet.
-
(Q) Are the drops being used in his ears beneficial? (A) Beneficial, but why not RELIEVE the condition that CAUSES same, through the inflammation in the intestinal system!

We are through with this Reading.
