(Q) What causes, and what should be done for, congestion in
head?
(A) As indicated, there are those tensions produced by
congestions through the centers or ganglia along the upper
dorsal and through the cervical area - that allow
congestions. With the manipulations and adjustments these
will be more and more normal.
Occasionally, for the head, the throat, it would be found
well to use an antiseptic that acts not so much as a curative
as a preventative - which is also excellent for colds, or for
those effects upon the mucous-membranes of the head; which
would be prepared in this way and manner:
To 4 ounces of pure grain alcohol, in a 6 to 8 ounce
container (preferably glass container with glass stopper,
or the like), add - in the order named:
Oil of Eucalyptus........................20 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.....................5 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.............10 minims,
Canadian Balsam...........................5 minims,
Tolu in solution, or Essence of..........40 minims.
Whenever there is an aching through the head (that is, from
the nasal passages), shake this solution well and inhale or
breathe deep the fumes of same through the nostril and even
into the throat. These act as a clearing of the tissue,
making for a cleansing in a manner that will be most helpful.
This may be done once, twice, three, four, five or six times
a day. Only breathe the fumes of same; do not take
internally. Keep the container tightly corked when not in
use.
(Q) Please explain the numbness in the top of head, and what
can be done to relieve it.
(A) From those natural tendencies that arise from the
segments in the areas from the 2nd and 3rd cervical, all
along the spine, and particularly to the 4th and 5th dorsal.
The JAMMING of these, by the force of the pressure, tends to
make to the sensory forces - or the ganglia from which the
sensory organs receive their impulse - the nature of a
numbness. So, through the manipulation, the activities of
the body, there are those tendencies for a feeling of a cold
spot, or as a tingling spot to the portions of the cerebro-
spinal system - or the cerebellum itself, that causes the
feeling - just above the sensory forces - of being somewhat
numb. This is the effect.
The activities, then, as indicated, will be most helpful -
as given - for relieving these distresses.
(Q) What can be done to relieve belching?
(A) Those same stimulations as indicated will overcome those
tendencies for regurgitation through the pylorus or the lower
portion of the stomach itself; by the stimulating of the
upper dorsals that make for the flow of impulse or activity
through the gastric portions of the upper part of the body.
(Q) What causes the pain in my back, particularly when
taking a deep breath or moving?
(A) Those same conditions as indicated, along the segments;
and are particularly those in conjunction with the secondary
cardiac reactions through the portions of the lungs, so that
the expansion of the frame portion of the body, by these very
activities, produces the heaviness that finds its expression
in the 3rd and 2nd dorsal centers.
(Q) What can be done to relieve tingling sensation in hand
and fingers?
(A) The same as indicated for the corrections specifically
about the brachial center that controls the circulation to
the extremity or the hand itself.
These effects will GRADUALLY be eliminated. Not by just
removing the pressure, for the strain has produced a slowing
of the circulation. Hence that admonition that the
precautions should be taken in the present, that further
disturbances may not arise from the injured portions - during
those periods of suppression in their activity, or strain -
as indicated.
(Q) Any further advice for the body?
(A) Much might be said as regarding the mental attitudes and
mental outlooks through those periods in the present.
Keep that ever hopeful attitude; keeping the faith of the
fathers that has made for that awakening within the
experience of all as to the Glory of the Lord in His dealings
with the sons of men; that makes in their purpose in their
experience and their association with their fellow man, a
hopeful, helpful outlook upon those relationships one with
another. [See 601-10, Par. R8.]

1/07/36 [
601]'s letter:
"...In going back over my last Check Reading I have noticed
especially the last few times I have read it, the answer to
12-Q regarding 'Much might be said as regarding the mental
attitudes and mental outlooks through those periods in the
present.' I will appreciate an appointment for a Mental
and Spiritual Reading and am positive much will be made
easier for me to understand. There must have been a reason
for our efforts in [
1073]'s behalf [in re her son [
988]'s
severe illness and death] even though it was a losing
fight. God knows best..."

Reading,
