TEXT

1. EC: Now, we find there is much difference in the body at the present time than that we had before. There are many changes. Some have been for the better. Many have not.
2. Now, the conditions to be met at the present time, and those conditions that may be corrected and assisted to give the best to the day, have to do with the lesion and condition found in the upper dorsal region. This we find has not been removed and still gives to the circulation in bronchials and in lungs proper that same depression and overflow of blood, and the diversion of secretions as thrown off from the increased circulation through pulmonaries at the time of spasmodic conditions of this diverted circulation affects these portions of the body. The strain on the system shows the effect as has been produced in the heart's action and the effect produced in the digestion and the elimination as is affected in the system through the kidneys and the liver, and this over strain on the hypogastric center comes through the usage of these to assuage the circulation and the hard breathing as caused by this overtaxing of the pulmonaries and the bronchials.
3. To give then the relief to this body, first we would not eat meats, save fish or fowl, and that not of too large quantities, using a great deal of celery or salsify, or articles of the vegetable kingdom as those. Beans, lentils, beets, turnips, that character of foods may be eaten. Not much sweets but those that add nutriment to the system, without overtaxing the digestive organs in elimination.
4. Use as an inhalant, this:
5. To 6 ounces of grain alcohol, add:

   Eucalyptol....................26 minims,
Oil of White Pine.............20 minims,
Rectified Oil of Turp.........15 minims,
Benzosol......................20 minims, or the
Clarified Creosote. Better, however, to use the
Benzosol than the Creosote.

6. When this is to be inhaled, which should be at least twice each day (not too much at first, else there will be strangulation, but small quantity), when this is shaken together, pour into a receptacle and heat applied, and the fumes from this inhaled in the lungs through nostrils and out. This will relieve irritation and give relief to this body.
7. Correct by deep osteopathic manipulation the condition existing in the dorsal region. Better than this be X-rayed as to see how the impinionment affects this circulation. After this reducing of the lesion as formed the release of the impinioned nerve ganglion branches may be affected and permanently relieve the condition that produces this in the body, [4740] we are speaking of. Do that, for we will bring relief to this body.
