TEXT

1. GC: You will go over this body carefully, examine it thoroughly, and tell me the conditions you find at the present time; giving the cause of the existing conditions, also suggestions for help and relief of this body. You will answer the questions as I ask them:
2. EC: Yes, we have the body here, [2396].
3. Now as we find, the body-physical is very good in most respects. However, there are acute conditions in the present that prevent the normal physical functioning.
4. These arise from infectious forces from cold, produced by dust AND cold that has produced a condition in the bronchi and trachea which affects the circulation; producing a film that prevents the normal activity of the circulatory forces through the trachea and the bronchi.
5. Then, these are conditions as we find them with this body, [2396] we are speaking of, present in this room:
6. The blood supply indicates hindrances of a local nature to the organs of the vocal box as well as the whole sensory system. This pressure has prevented the normal impulse of eliminations in the activity of this flow through the upper portion of the respiratory system.
7. This is acute and not deep-seated; though, unless measures are taken for the removal of the acute disturbance through the circulatory forces, we may find the disturbances taking hold that may hinder the activity of the system as related to the eliminations THROUGHOUT the body.
8. In the nerve forces, - here we find sympathetic reactions, especially from those areas from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal and throughout the cervical areas.
9. These as we find are sympathetic, not compound, nor lesions that are of a deep-seated nature as yet.
10. In the organs of the body, - the responses, the reflexes throughout the system are very good.
11. The activities of the sensory organs are affected; the bronchi and the trachea and larynx show the areas where infectious forces prevent their being eliminated nominally or normally.
12. Then, in making applications for the removal of these disturbances:
13. We would first give that there be a GENERAL relaxing of the system by the hydrotherapy method, through the mechanical means; that is, the heat - preferably the dry heat - to coordinate the activity of the superficial and the deep circulation. Then the deep thorough massage, - not as corrective measures, but stimulating measures to the areas especially as indicated - the 1st, 2nd and 3rd dorsal and throughout the cervical areas - and about the throat and the chest. This would be done mechanically.
14. Of an evening we would inhale the fumes from an equal quantity of Compound Tincture of Benzoin and Oil of Eucalyptus. Put half a teaspoonful of each in a pint of water and allow to boil. Breathe in the fumes from same, with a sheet or covering over the head, you see.
15. Prepare the white of one egg. Beat very thoroughly. Mix with this froth a teaspoonful of fresh lemon juice. Take two or three doses of this, a teaspoonful or two at a dose, taken slowly.
16. And we will find in two days we will be rid of the disturbances.
17. Ready for questions.
18. We would have such an one as Reilly for the cabinet AND the massage.
19. (Q) How many of these hydrotherapy treatments would be necessary?
    (A) ONE should be sufficient - to rid the system of the acute condition. Of course, set up eliminations through diet - these with ALL the applications suggested should be sufficient. They may be repeated if necessary. We do not find that more than two applications would be necessary.
20. (Q) What diet should the body follow?
    (A) An eliminating diet.
21. (Q) Will the body be able to leave within a week or ten days as she has planned?
    (A) If so desired, - but there's much work to be done here!
22. We are through for the present.
