To 4 ounces of PURE grain alcohol, in a 6 to 8 ounce
glass-corked container, add (in the order named):
Oil of Eucalyptus....................20 minims,
Compound Tincture of Benzoin.........15 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.................3 minims,
Rectified Creosote....................2 minims,
Benzosol in solution (or a solution
made by dissolving Benzosol in
alcohol).......................10 minims,
Tolu in solution, or Tincture of.....40 minims.
Keep this corked except when it is inhaled (after shaking
well) both through the nostrils and deep into the lungs.
This is not to be taken internally, you see; just the fumes
INHALED. Best to hold one side of nostril to inhale; and
don't inhale too strong at first, not too close to the mouth
or nostril.
This will act to alleviate the swelling and inflammation.
Also the osteopathic manipulations should reduce those
conditions that CAUSE the overflow.
Keep the diet alkalin.
Keep in the open, but away from pollens of any nature,
especially flowers that are heavy-pollened, as any of the
wild flowers or cosmos or the like. Roses are different.
Do this, as we find, and we may relieve these conditions
so that they will not become constitutional; as is
ordinarily indicated from this type of rose fever or the
pollen fever.
Ready for questions.
(Q) Is northern Michigan a good place for the body to be
taken, as the doctor advises?
(A) Northern Michigan or the seashore, as Virginia Beach.
(Q) Is this hay fever, or what is commonly called hay fever?
(A) As just indicated, it is an inflammation of the mucuous
membranes, produced by an overflow - which causes a swelling
or rose fever; not roseola but rose fever; or the lachrymal
ducts, the nasal passages, the throat become irritated by
this swelling, SYMPATHETICALLY - which may be drained off,
as indicated, by osteopathic corrections in the areas
outlined.
Do as we have indicated for the best for this body.
We are through for the present.
