My dear doctor
You are a physician—the writer only an experimenting chemist.
If Mr. Wilson is still alive when this reaches you—Give Mr. Wilson at once—the juice from one to two ens of Sweet Florida oranges.—together with a heavy dose of Castor oil._________________________________________________
And thereafter keep him thoroughly saturated with the sweet orange diet.
1. Hot towels and gentle circular massage to the abdomen
2. Hot towels to the limbs with light massage.
3. Light massage of the spine
Even though the whole structure seems gone while the spark of life is there—The superabundance of sweet orange juice will bring Wilson back.
Test this out for your own satisfaction. If this comes too late for the patient—try it on your next opportunity.
Yrs.
“Anon”.
