1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [379].

2. The conditions here are not so good, and may be a great deal worse. Unless the proper precautions are taken and relief comes, we may find a closing or localization in the lungs and in the bronchi, and the congestion of the liver and the disturbance of the hepatic circulation making for hard conditions to be met physically.

3. First, we would find, do not for several days take any foods other than liquids and semi-liquids.

4. We would first bathe the lower limbs, from the knees down and the feet especially, in hot mustard water.

5. Begin with Bromo-Laxative Quinine. These we would take every three hours until there is a thorough cleansing through the alimentary canal.

6. We would begin then with the Chill Tonic that is a combination with the Bromo-Quinine.

7. Across the lower portion of the lung area we would put a combination of equal portions Mutton Suet, Turpentine, Spirits of Camphor and Compound Tincture of Benzoin. Apply locally, massaging; also put on a flannel and then apply heat.
