TEXT

1. GC: You will give a physical reading on this body, giving the general physical conditions in this body, with special attention to the cause of the trouble in the throat, giving the cure and proper treatment for same, with any suggestions for the treatment for the cure of any or all of these conditions. You will answer any questions relative to this I may ask you.
2. EC: Now, we find the general physical conditions of the body different from those as we have had them here before. Many of these are for the improvement of the physical forces. Some show accentuation, some an aggravation in other conditions that have arisen in the body. With special reference to conditions in the throat, these we find come from specific conditions and will need local treatments for same, with a general condition as applying to same for the whole physical body.
3. Now these are the conditions as we find them in the general physical body at the present time:
4. IN THE BLOOD SUPPLY, this we still find somewhat deficient and depleted in the supply of red blood forces to build or make proper rebuilding forces in body, without calling on or inducing the aggravation at times of the whole nervous system. This is a form of anemia; that is, that form produced in the functioning organs in distribution through the assimilation in system, as we shall see.
5. IN THE NERVE SYSTEM, in this we still find this taxed considerably, both in the cerebro-spinal system and in the sympathetic and the sensory system, especially. The accentuation as is caused in the nerves of bronchials, tonsils and in portions of throat, caused from taking in those properties through inhalations that has produced irritation, with the counter action of auto-infection from same, by the lack of ability of the system to throw off these conditions through their proper channels.
6. IN THE ORGANS OF THE BODY, brain forces good. Still as we have had.
7. In the organs of the sensory system, these show, especially in throat, tonsils, in eye, in ear, the aggravation of the high circulation as created through this portion of the body, both by the nerve over stimulation and the attempt of the sympathetic to create equilibrium in all portions of the body. This assists rather than prevents, the condition in throat, bronchials and larynx, creating then some temperature to the body, some low action in heart's forces and the inability of the circulation to throw off properties in their normal channel.
8. Lungs very good.
9. Heart's action below normal.
10. Digestive system still shows lack of proper digestion, through the conditions as are exercised in the gastric plexuses and in the hypogastric regions, or lower portions of hypogastric plexus. Pneumogastric becomes more involved.
11. In the liver, this still shows lack of the proper secretions in excretory function to clarify blood proper and to give to the lower portion of the system that necessary in the new blood building forces to create the equalized condition in hemoglobin in blood supply, as is supplied through this action in the system.
12. In the kidneys, these are overtaxed, and with the taking of properties in the system, as has been, some in past, recently, that stimulate the excretory system through kidneys, especially, these are at a high state. These in turn throw into the system those properties producing toxins that have assisted in causing trouble in other portions of the body.
13. Then, to assist the body in becoming to its normal conditions, we would apply those local treatments through inhalations, and through applications of those properties as would be and act as cleansers and antiseptics for the condition in throat. These should be applied locally through those of the specialist in this line.
14. Using as the general condition for the whole system this, as an inhalant only:
15. To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, add:

    Eucalyptol......................20 minums,
Benzosol........................15 minums,
(Use this in preference to those compounds that are of the

    same nature)

    Canadian Balsam..................5 minums,
Rectified Oil of Turp............5 minums.

    Keep solution well corked, glass bottle, glass stopper. Shake solution well. Heat before inhaling. Inhale through mouth into the lungs, exhaling same through nostrils. This we find will add to the ability of the throat, the lungs, the bronachials, the larynx, the nasal cavities, in throwing off these conditions as produced by toxins through the general system, and assisting the circulation throughout in taking on those properties sufficient to combat with conditions as are general in the system.
16. Using as medicinal properties for the general system (when as system has become nearer normal from throat trouble) such properties as would be found in this:
17. Very small quantity of strychnine, with those of Life Ever Lasting [Life Everlasting - Hydrastis?], prepared in those properties as are combined for such conditions, as will be found in that of Strychnine-Iron. Do this, and we will bring the better conditions for this body, following out those suggestions as given for diet, for the action of the system both physically and mentally, for these will add much to this body, [137]. Do that.
18. (Q) How often should the inhalations be used?
    (A) Once to twice each day, inhaling at least three to five inhalations and exhalations at the one time. Best to keep solution in container somewhat larger (about twice the quantity) than that holding solution; that is, placing the four ounces in an eight ounce bottle.
19. (Q) How often should the medicinal properties be taken, and what dosage?
    (A) Once each day. Pellets as are prepared - Sharpe-Doan & Company [Sharp & Dohme].
20. We are through.
