   • 1923, “Kapturnoj”, in Jean Borel, transl., Konsiloj pri Higieno, 2nd edition, translation of original by Rose Stolle, page 14:

     Kiu multe suferas pro kapturnoj, evitu kaj ĉiujn ekscitantajn trinkaĵojn ĉiun spiritan ekscitecon. Movado en bona aero estas rekomendinda. Oni faru malvarmajn kompresojn sur la kapo kaj prenu varmajn piedbanojn plifortigitajn per kuira salo. Favore efikas ĉiutagaj frotadoj de la korpo; ankaŭ estas bone trinki vespere malvarman valerianan teon. Se la kapturno devenas de momenta sensangeco en la cerbo, oni metu la kapon malalten. Oni ĉiukaze zorgu pri regula digestado.
