TEXT

1. GC: You will give the physical condition of this body at the present time, with suggestions for further corrective measures; answering the questions, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [274].
3. As we find, conditions are not good with the body. While there were responses from those applications that have been suggested, the change in the environ and the effect of inhaling certain fumes carrying the effect of copperas in the system has brought a disturbing condition to the membranes of the throat and tonsils.
4. Thus the affectation to the blood supply, the inflammation, temperature, nausea, weakness, inability to function properly.
5. We find that it would be the better for the body to build up resistance and have operative measures for the tonsils.
6. These we would allay, first, by using - under the direction of a physician; eye, ear, nose specialist - the Ichthyol combination as a spray.
7. To allay those disturbances in the digestive forces and to aid in the eliminations, we would take internally at least two ounces each day of Saffron Tea - using the American Saffron. Pour a pint of boiling water over a level teaspoonful of the Saffron and allow to steep as a tea. Strain this and drink two ounces each day. Necessary that it be kept on ice if a quantity is to be kept from one day to the next. But make it fresh at least every other day.
8. As an aid for the irritation through the rectal area, we would use the Pazo Ointment Suppositories.
9. These as we find will be the better manners to cope with the conditions.
10. If there is the possibility of osteopathic adjustments, have these. Or massage the throat, head AND to the middle of the spine with an equal combination of Mutton Tallow (melted), Spirits of Turpentine and Spirits of Camphor; massaging all the body will absorb.
11. And as soon as there is the building up, have the operative forces. [Tonsillectomy]
12. Ready for questions.
13. (Q) Does the antiseptic inhalant act as an irritant?
    (A) This is when applied. If there is only the inhaling of the fumes, it will be beneficial - if not taken too much. If it still causes irritation, put a teaspoonful in boiling water, cover with a cornucopia and then inhale the fumes that arise from same. This is the better character of antiseptic.
    But the Ichthyol spray as indicated to be used by the specialist is healing and allaying.
14. (Q) Should I continue the Adiron and Calcios?
    (A) This is well to assist in building up the body.
    In the diet, keep close to those things that are easily assimilated and NOT too acid. For, the natural poisons from the system produce superacidity.
    Do that.
15. We are through with this reading.

    [GD's note: There is a compound on the market called PENETRO - that contains the Mutton Tallow, Turpentine and Camphor; or you can buy the ingredients separately and mix them yourself.]
