GC: You will have before you [
900], and Mrs. [
106], of ...
St., New York City, and [
137] and [
140] of ... St., New York
City, and their contemplated trip to New Orleans, La. Should
any of these be vaccinated for smallpox? If so, which ones?
Will this trip be detrimental in any way to the physical
health of [
140] and [
137]?
EC: There need none of these be vaccinated against smallpox.
Better that such virus be discarded than used in bodies of
these individuals. To ward against smallpox, best the body
be kept clean and the diet of milk and much lettuce, and no
fear of smallpox.
As to physical conditions of [
106], well [that] those
properties be kept at hand, as given for the conditions
arising from car motion.
For [
137], the trip will prove beneficial, provided not too
much stimulants [are] taken. Let the body be governed by the
own mind and not urged on by anyone.
[
140], we find the trip would be well, change in the scenes
and the conditions would be good. We will have some
inconveniences through nausea. These may be assisted by
keeping cinnamon and limewater at hand, or taking sips of
these occasionally.
