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 that have been submitted, as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body, [628].
3. As we find, conditions in the general manner are very good. There needs to be only those precautions as to the GENERAL welfare and health of the body; in those directions of the inclination for the mucous membranes of the throat and nasal passages to be affected.
4. We would prepare an inhalant in this form, for this body:
5. Use at least a six or eight ounce large mouth, dark colored bottle; with a cork through which two openings may enter, one through which the inhalation is to be made, the other to allow for the passing of air into same. These must be kept tightly corked when not in use, and PREFERABLY in a dark place.
6. In such a bottle, put - in the order named:

   Pure Grain Alcohol................4 ounces,
Oil of Eucalyptus................30 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.....20 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.............5 minims,
Rectified Creosote................3 minims,
Tolu in Solution.................20 minims.

   Shake the solution well each time before using, which would be at night just before retiring and in the morning before the body has broken the fast - or upon arising. Shake the solution, then inhale into either passage of the nose - deep into the throat, one, two, three times. Or if there is an inclination for the sneezing, or cold or the like, use this also as an inhalant to the throat and lungs. It will clarify and make for better conditions generally for the body.
7. We would be mindful, of course, as to the diet and exercises for the body.
8. Well that precautions be taken YET about the feet and ankles.
9. Ready for questions.
10. (Q) Would further treatments be advisable, or are her ankles now growing properly?
    (A) Just so the proper care is taken, or the proper shape of shoe used or kept. This should be done. Otherwise as we find the condition is very well adjusted in the present.
11. (Q) What type of shoe should be used?
    (A) That which has already been used in the adjustment of the disturbance.
12. We are through with this Reading.

BACKGROUND

1. See 628-4 on 5/09/35.
2. 9/30/38 Father [261]'s ltr.: "[628] still has trouble with 'sniffles' on arising in the morning. Unless covered by the rdg. a question might be asked with regard to these."
3. 10/07/38 "Last yr., because her ankles did not appear to be growing as straight as they should, she went for some time to a foot specialist who gave her some special forms to wear in her shoes. This she did for several months and so far as we could see they effected a complete cure. We would like in the rdg., however, to ask if the ankles are now growing properly or whether some further tr. will be advisable."

REPORTS

1. 10/08/38 See 566-8, Par. 6-A for younger sister advising the same inhalant.
2. See subsequent notations under 628-1 Life Rdg. Reports.
3. 11/30/42 Father [261]'s ltr.: "She does not like to use inhalants or sprays which makes it rather difficult."
4. 12/19/42 Her parents obtained for her a Ck. Life - See 628-6, the first part of which deals with her physical condition; a sinus infection [see R3 above], rash at times, and tendency to be overweight.
