EC: We have the body here. The conditions, while not
satisfactory, show some change, and these - with the constant
application under those properties or conditions where - in
the infection is shown, where the teeth were removed - will
bring about the normal forces as regarding the troubles
there. As long as the dis-ease is present there maybe know
that infection is present, from that as causes the pressure
through the condition in that of decay, or of the pus
forming. This, as we see, offers then a very unusual and
rather a serious condition for THIS body, UNDER the
conditions which the body has labored for some time.
Infection is easy, as has been seen and as has been given, in
the physical forces of this body. There was given that these
properties of the fig applied would draw off those poisons,
and these would. These are prepared special for the dental
profession, and may be obtained through such supply houses as
white of Atlanta, or of Birmingham, Nashville, or Louisville,
or St. Louis, or Chicago, see? A. S. White Dental Supplies.
These would act more efficient by those portions that show
decay being removed, than by direct OPERATION, for TOO EASILY
does infection re-occur, and too easily do the conditions
over the body absorb sympathetically those are are set forth
in the system. Be careful. Be warned. Keep antiseptics,
and take as much precaution as possible with these
conditions.
(Q) Which is the best antiseptic to use for the mouth?
(A) Listerine or Glyco-Thymoline, for both of these are NOT
acid, and the body reaction IS acid, so that opposite or
alkaline is much better than acid antiseptic for the body -
though it may become necessary to burn, or cauterize these
conditions to prevent spread of infection.
(Q) Is there pus in the bone?
(A) Pus in the bone. Pus in the bone - the formation comes
from the infection as from the soft spongy bone in this
portion of the action of those properties ABOUT - that is,
the flesh portions about - is to heal normally, but the
infection is from within. Hence scrape the bone, or scrape
out those portions that are diseased.
(Q) Not necessary for the operation through the nose as the
doctor seems to think?
(A) Not as we see it at present would it be BEST, for these
troubles and conditions as have been with the eyes, and with
the nose here in former times and conditions, this would only
add to the fire as is created in the system.
(Q) As Nashville is the closest city, will you give the
address where -
(A) We have given it! We are through!

BACKGROUND
See
569-13 on
9/28/27 for neuralgia of face and head due to
(she thought) abscessed tooth.
10/08/27 "I have never gotten any relief yet in my face - had
two jaw teeth taken out and the place where the first one was
taken out is hurting me as bad as it did before the tooth was
out. Dr. Flener is puzzled - said the places were healing
nicely and simply couldn't see why I was still suffering with
my face. So he took me up to Dr. Ezell's office and he put
me through a rigid examination, made an x-ray of my face,
also examined my eyes for some more glasses. He said the
trouble was in the bone (had a name for it) - said there was
pus there and the only relief would be from an operation,
which would be a slight one done through the nose. So if you
say so I'll have it done, if not I won't... The misery runs
to my ear; in fact that whole side of my head hurts. When I
waked this a.m. I could hardly open my mouth to speak. I am
using all kinds of antiseptics, such as Listerine,
Glyco-Thymoline, and holding hot salt to my face most all the
time. Have to keep it to my face most all night. I simply
can't get the figs anywhere in this town, and the drug stores
never heard of the fig preparation (recommended in 569-13)."
REPORTS
10/16/27 "I am under many obligations to you for your trouble
and I surely am grateful... I can't for the life of me
remember what name Dr. Ezell had for the cheekbone - anyway
that's where he said the pus was, and wanted to open those
little cells by going in through the nose. Dr. House said I
certainly was right not to let him do such a thing. That
part of my face has gotten entirely easy now, for the abscess
broke and I got rid of it without his help. But the trouble
in gums has never healed as it should. I went in to Dr.
Flener yesterday and simply told him I knew there was an
infection there and sure enough he said so too, and scraped
the bone without a word. I don't believe I ever had anything
to hurt me as bad - I thought he was pulling out a piece of
the root - he never even put anything in my gum to deaden it.
I was so sick I thought I would never be able to get home,
and I went to bed as soon as I did get home. He wants me to
come back tomorrow. I asked him about this fig preparation
and he had never heard of it. Brother [...] was here and
said he will go all over B'ham (Ala.) until he finds it...
My head has been in a terrible shape all day, feel just like
I was whirling and so dizzy I could hardly hold my eyes
open."
11/27/27 "I'm feeling lots better again."
